5 Ways Our Industrial-Grade Metal Enclosures Solve Your Biggest Challenges

When you’re selecting an enclosure for critical electrical and automation components, durability, flexibility, and reliability top the priority list.

Here at Switches Plus Components, we understand the demanding conditions our customers including switchboard builders, electrical contractors, engineers, and machine builders, often face.

Our partnership with Non-Stone allows us to deliver some of the toughest, most versatile industrial grade metal enclosures on the market.

Here are five ways our Non-Stone metal enclosures tackle the biggest challenges head-on:

1. Robust Construction for High-Stress Environments

Our industrial grade metal enclosures are manufactured using premium mild steel ranging from 1.2 mm to 1.8 mm thickness, reinforced at critical points like doors and bodies.

Equally impressive is the 2 mm galvanized steel mounting plate, which can handle heavier equipment without bending or warping.

By combining advanced welding techniques and top-grade metalwork, these enclosures are built to withstand continuous operation in harsh industrial settings, whether you’re dealing with heavy machinery, dust-laden environments, or regular impacts.

2.   Superb Weather and Dust Resistance

With a minimum protection rating of IP66, these metal enclosures are dust-tight and resistant to high-pressure water jets.

That means you can keep your critical assets free from moisture, dirt, or debris, even in extreme conditions.

The seamless foam-in-place polyurethane (PUR) gasket around the door ensures a tight seal for maximum protection.

Whether you’re setting up in a busy manufacturing plant or an outdoor installation, these enclosures have you covered.

3.    Effortless Integration and Mounting

Time is money, especially when rolling out new installations or upgrading equipment.

That’s why these enclosures include reversible hinges for left- or right-hand door opening, making it effortless for field technicians to work in confined areas.

Quarter-turn metal locks offer a secure yet efficient way to access the interior, and grounding studs on both the body and door support streamlined bonding and earthing procedures.

The straightforward design and generous 2 mm gear tray (mounting plate) make internal configuration simple, speeding up your entire setup process.

4.    Customisation for Complex Projects

Every industrial application comes with its own set of requirements, from specialised cable entry points to specific design modifications.

Non-Stone’s metal enclosures not only offer gland plates for easy cable management but can also be tailored to your unique needs.

Subject to minimum order quantities, we can customise dimensions, incorporate special cutouts, or add accessory fittings, so you can focus on designing solutions without worrying about enclosure limitations.

5.    Compliance and Peace of Mind

Choosing enclosures that meet global safety and environmental standards is crucial for heavily regulated sectors like mining, defence, and aviation.

These industrial-grade metal enclosures carry key certifications and design features, including RoHS and REACH compliance, as well as CE markings.

Plus, with a tough, UV-resistant polyester powder coat in standard RAL7035, you can expect longevity even under harsh conditions.

This ensures you remain compliant and confident on the job site, in the factory, or in the field.
