BCL Enclosures launches new stainless steel BEDSS Series door enclosures – IP66-rated for safe wash-down, suits corrosive and hygienic environments

Time-saving “everything supplied” kit; six sizes available; also available in marine grade stainless steel

August, 2021 – BCL Enclosures’ new BEDSS Stainless Steel Series of lockable, solid door enclosures are specially designed to provide high-quality, secure, cost-effective protection for specialist and demanding electronic and electrical installations.  The BEDSS Enclosure Series is IP66 rated to protect contents against water and dust and is also able to withstand impact to IK10 specifications and extremes of temperature ranging between – 20degC and +55degC.  Suitable applications for BEDSS enclosures include corrosive environments, such as those found in the chemical and petrochemical industries, plus environments where strict hygiene is required, for example, the agro food sector.

The rugged BEDSS enclosures range is manufactured from grade 304 stainless steel as standard, with marine grade 316 stainless steel available on request. They are supplied as a complete kit including a metal lock and key and a 2mm galvanised steel back mounting plate with spacers.  A further advantage is that BEDSS enclosures come complete with an earth strap pre-wired and fitted between the door and the housing to save valuable installation time.

The BEDSS range provides the perfect solution for protecting delicate components in environments that demand very high standards of security and cleanliness, for example where hygiene must be maintained, such as hospitals, dental and veterinary practices, in addition to a whole host of other industries, such as food manufacturing.  The marine grade 316 stainless steel versions also suit installations subject to salt water and will not corrode.

This comprehensive range is available from October 2021 in six different sizes, ranging from 300mm high x 200mm wide x 150mm deep to 500mm high x 500mm wide x 200mm deep, so offering installers a wide choice capable of accommodating most applications.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
