Rittal’s 316 Stainless Steel TS 8 Enclosures are Engineered for Industry

Advances in monitoring, extraction, and delivery are occurring very quickly in the oil and gas industry. As components
continue to evolve, drilling rig and refinery operations require the kind of strong, durable protection this TS 8 can provide.

  • Superb chloride resistance gives the 316 Stainless Steel TS 8 the corrosion resistance required at offshore exploration sites.
  • 30 percent more mounting space than a traditional unibody enclosure makes the TS 8 the best choice to house advanced machinery and instrumentation.
  • Baying together several TS 8 enclosures offers for an ideal solution for housing the machinery and instrumentation
    that keeps massive oil and gas operations running.

The ever-changing demands of modern day consumers require food and beverage companies to quickly design production lines capable of precise monitoring, adding and removing products, and changing recipes, all while maintaining high sanitation standards. This rapidly changing, high tech environment is ideal for Rittal’s 316 Stainless Steel TS 8 Enclosure.

  • The TS 8 is an enclosure system built for adapting and fitting into variable systems. Unmatched scalability, a depth adjustable mounting panel, and a removable floor panel for easy wiring make this more than just a basic enclosure.
  • The superior construction resists corrosion caused by common salts and fatty acids found in food processing applications.
  • Resists stress cracking and pitting that can lead to surface corrosion and metal contamination of products.

The use of heavy machinery is prevalent in pulp processing and paper production. The control and monitoring components of this processing equipment must be aptly protected from the chemicals found in pulp mills and the high humidity of forests.

This type of protection is exactly what Rittal had in mind with the design of the 316 stainless steel TS 8.

  • Rittal’s TS 8 frame is folded 16 times, giving it an overall load capacity of 3,150 pounds, ideal to house elaborate drive technology and hydraulic management equipment.
  • Exposure to chlorine dioxide, sulfates, and sulfites used in chemical heavy refining processes and bleaching procedures are no problem for this rugged TS 8.
  • Scalability and a 1,350 pound mounting panel weight capacity make this enclosure a great choice for protecting the large motor drives needed to move heavy loads.

 

The United Nations has estimated that the amount of wastewater produced globally per year is six times the amount of water in all the rivers of the world. Emerging technological processes for desalination and wastewater treatment demand ruggedness and durability, just what this 316 Stainless Steel TS 8 offers. n Resists corrosion caused by chloride and corrosives common at treatment plants.

  • Four roof-installed eyebolts, baying capabilities, and more usable, flexible mounting space make the TS 8 easy to move, expand, and adapt to evolving filtration applications.
  • Four-point latching system and continuous foamed-in-place gasket provide superior protection from salt spray and chemicals.
  • Superior craftsmanship and elite-level materials make this enclosure ideal for the range of indoor and outdoor applications in this industry. 

This 316 Stainless Steel TS 8 is built for consistency in an industry that demands it. Whether swapping batches or adjusting a production line to meet strict regulations, this dynamic enclosure
remains strong and clean. The valuable combination of UL Type 4X corrosion resistance and environmental protection serves an array of life science applications.

  • Allows for intense wash down processes that return the brushed finish surface to like-new condition and reduces the risk of metallic contamination.
  • Features like a depth-adjustable mounting panel, spring loaded door hinges, and a removable floor panel provide this TS 8 with the versatility needed for varying applications.
  • A large assortment of available accessories gives the TS 8 the most dynamic internal mounting capabilities of anyfreestanding enclosure on the market.

The accelerated consumption of energy, metal, and minerals is driving the mining industry to explore sites in more remote regions. This exploration in addition to the expansion of automation technology creates the requirement to protect sophisticated instrumentation in even more extreme conditions. The 316 Stainless Steel TS 8 is tailor made for these applications.

  • UL Type 4X certification ensures that the critical components housed within the TS 8 are safe from dust, moisture, and corrosion at mines or refinery locations.
  • The resilient construction is capable of handling dings and abrasions that can happen at highly active application sites.
  • Roof-installed eyebolts allow for mobility and scalability on even the most remote or patchy terrain.
