High performance stainless steel hinges for specialist enclosures
Stainless steel is of course known for its robust strength under arduous corrosive conditions and that is exactly why we chose it for our program of specialist cabinet/enclosure hinges.
Our range of internal/external screw-on/weld-on designs are specifically developed to complement stainless steel or non-metallic enclosures in frequent wash-down areas or in marine environments.
Users of housings for electrical or electronic control/distribution equipment will benefit from application of stainless steel hinges which can lift-off – or have removable hinge pins – or simply provide an extra level of security by virtue of enabling a flush door construction with narrow gaps to discourage attack with tools/pry bars etc.
These stainless steel hinges are complemented by our wide selection of stainless steel locks from quarter-turns to swinghandles.
Specialist stainless steel cabinet and enclosure latch/locks
Two well-known factors come together – the well understood benefits of stainless steel and the proven design/engineering technologies of EMKA in our range of specialist latches and locks for industrial cabinets and enclosures.
EMKA expertise enables the corrosion-resistance and ultimate strength of stainless steel to be developed into the robust longevity of these locking products. Our stainless steel components therefore enable engineers to “fit-and-forget”, their designed-for-purpose high quality designs mean that these products save time and replacements costs over their lifetime.
Our stainless steel locks and latches program includes quarter-turns, hygiene/wash-down locks, conventional L and T handles, space-saving swinghandles and rod mechanisms, compression locks, safety locks (vibration proof with built-in cover to exclude dirt), ring handle, wing knobs, padlockable handles and heavy duty latches.
Hygiene gaskets for HVAC and Food industries
As leading gasket providers to specialist panel builders for the HVAC and Food industries we at EMKA UK offer a range of gasket profiles to meet the particular requirements of these industries in terms of their sealing capabilities and their specific hygiene characteristics.
These profiles are covered by guideline 6022 issued by the VDI association which describes the minimum hygienic standards for ventilation and air conditioning systems. Our 6022 program gaskets enable system builders to meet these requirements for planning, installation, operation and maintenance of ventilation and air conditioning systems in order to guarantee a suitable hygienic condition of the system as well as the outside air inlets for the air-conditioned premises.
These 6022 gasket profiles are suited to use by builders, architects, engineers, ventilation planners, manufacturers of air-conditioning systems, machine builders, authorising bodies, operators, service companies, stakeholders of room users (e.g. staff associations or committees as well as company physicians and public health officers).
In line with the latest engineering and production practices, these sealing profiles are intended to guarantee precise operation and longevity of ventilation and air-conditioning systems by positive installation, using either self-clamping edge fitting or U channel mounting within the door where they enable the system to run at overpressure without loss. They therefore maintain dust and other pollutants within the filter pathway where they can be effectively removed before air is delivered into the workplace or public areas. In addition they contain anti-bacterial and other additives preventing the spreading of bacteria, spores, fungi, mould and viruses in addition to their normal sealing properties.
Related hygiene gasket profiles for the food industry (in silicone) are certified according to FDA or by EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group) and are resistant to sterilising agents, vapour and concentrated cleaning agents, in order to meet the demands of frequent cleaning and sterilising demanded by this high stress application and the level of wear and tear this implies.
