Robust protection in small offices
Designed to meet the needs of the small office/home office market, CaSys SOHO enclosures are ideal for all types of tertiary installations involving up to 36 connections.
Additional items are mounted on DIN-rail frames attached to the doors, and on perforated plates at the rear of each bay.
The multiple mounting options provided by Spacial 6000 series enclosures allow Bio-Bubble to save space on overall control system dimensions, without compromising the accessibility of the equipment within the enclosure.
"We chose Spacial 6000-series enclosures principally because of their versatility and value for money," said Paul Saxton, Director of Bio-Bubble.
"For example, the versions with glazed doors are far more competitively priced than alternatives we looked at, and the huge range of accessories available for the Spacial range made it easy for us to customise the enclosures to suit our application." Bio-Bubble's engineers were also impressed by the excellent finish, attractive appearance and durability of the enclosures, points which are of particular importance to the company's high-profile customers which include water supply companies and major international manufacturing concerns.
Equipment mounted within the enclosures varies according to the type of sequence batch reactor needed by the end user, but typically includes up to 14 motor starters with ratings up to 2.2kW, a number of larger star-delta starters, and two Modicon TSX Nano programmable controllers.
Protection functions are provided by Merlin Gerin circuit breakers.
Sequence batch reactor systems from Bio-Bubble are normally supplied as a complete package, with the control panels housed inside a temperature- and humidity-controlled GRP kiosk.
Nevertheless, to ensure correct operation of the control system even if the kiosk's environmental installations fail, the Spacial 6000 enclosures, which have an IP55 protection rating, are fitted with their own heaters and fans.
These products are again selected from Sarel's wide range of standard accessories.
"We've used Sarel enclosures not just on these systems, but in many other applications," said Saxton, "and we've always been delighted with their convenience, robust construction and attractive design.
We have also always had excellent support from Sarel, and the enclosures have the very important benefit of being readily available from our local stockist.
Given that Sarel products are also very attractively priced, there's simply no reason to choose anything else!".
