In many installations, painted sheet metal enclosures are more than sufficient. However, in certain industrial environments, significantly higher demands are placed on both materials and construction.
Moisture, cleaning, chemicals and aggressive environments can quickly affect the life of the enclosure. In these cases, stainless steel enclosures often the best choice.
ETA offers enclosure solutions developed for these environments.
ETA stainless steel enclosures
ETA has several stainless steel enclosure series that are developed for industrial installations where corrosion and hygiene are important factors.
They are often used in:
- the food industry
- process industry
- marine and offshore
- chemically exposed environments
Stainless steel provides an enclosure that can withstand both mechanical impact and demanding environmental conditions.
When is a metal cabinet not enough?
Standard enclosures in painted sheet metal are not always the right choice when:
- the environment is humid
- the installation is subjected to cleaning or flushing
- chemicals are present
- there is a risk of corrosion
In these situations, stainless steel enclosures are often a more reliable solution.
Material choices that affect lifespan
The material of the enclosure affects how long the installation lasts.
Stainless steel provides:
- high corrosion resistance
- good resistance to cleaning
- robust construction
- long lifespan
This makes the material suitable in environments where the enclosure is exposed to more than normal industrial stress.
”When the environment makes higher demands, the right materials are needed.”
Summary
When installation takes place in demanding environments, standard solutions are not always sufficient.
ETA stainless steel enclosures offers robust protection for electronics and control systems in environments where corrosion, moisture and cleaning are part of everyday life.
