Discover Rittal's Industry-Leading Enclosures

 Rittal enclosures are designed to meet the demands of various environments, including indoor and outdoor applications, harsh industrial settings, hygienic environments like food and pharmaceutical industries, and even hazardous locations that require explosion protection.

Choosing the right enclosure depends on factors such as the environment (indoor, outdoor, hazardous), the type of equipment being housed, the level of protection required (e.g., IP rating), and any industry-specific standards. Our product pages and experts can help guide you to the best solution for your needs.

Rittal enclosures are available in various materials, including steel, stainless steel, and specialized materials for hygienic or hazardous environments. Each material is selected to provide the best protection and durability for specific applications.

Yes, Rittal offers customizable solutions to meet specific application requirements. Modular designs allow for tailored configurations, and we provide a range of accessories and options to further adapt enclosures to your needs.

 Stainless steel enclosures offer excellent corrosion resistance, making them ideal for harsh environments and industries with high hygiene standards. They are durable, easy to clean, and maintain a professional appearance over time.

First, let’s consider transportation

If an enclosure needs to be lifted and moved by crane, a base/plinth is not required. If an enclosure needs to be moved by forklift or truck, a base/plinth is appropriate, provided it is of a modular design with load-bearing corner pieces and separate trim panels and the enclosure frame is capable of supporting the load.

Secondly, let’s consider stability

For a rigid attachment to the floor in order to securely withstand vibrations and shocks, we advise against using a base/plinth and screw-fastening or even welding the enclosure frame directly to the floor. Alternatively, there are special designs for mechanical decoupling (vibration dampers and shock absorbers) or for an exceptionally rigid connection to the substructure (such as an earthquake-resistant base/plinth) .

Finally, let’s look at “cable infeed”

If cables are to be inserted without floor ducting, a base/plinth is essential. The modular design of the base/plinth plus suitable accessories supports cable routing underneath bayed enclosure suites and mechanical strain relief outside of the protected room. The base/plinth also provides space for storing surplus cable lengths where necessary. Incidentally, these should be stored in a meandering, rather than circular, pattern for EMC reasons. As well as a solid base/plinth (with perforated trim panels to support enclosure ventilation in clean environments), levelling feet may also be a useful addition for uneven floors, either alone or combined with the base/plinth.

 Maintenance and cleaning depend on the material and environment. For example, stainless steel enclosures should be cleaned with non-abrasive cleaners to maintain their finish. Hygienic design enclosures are designed for easy cleaning to meet industry standards. Regular inspections and following manufacturer guidelines will ensure long-term performance.

Modular enclosures offer flexibility, allowing you to configure and expand your system as needed. They are ideal for complex applications where scalability, easy access, and adaptability are important.

EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) shielding is crucial for protecting sensitive electronic equipment from electromagnetic interference (EMI). This is especially important in environments with a high concentration of electronic devices, where interference can cause malfunction or data loss.

Rittal’s enclosures designed for hazardous environments, such as Ex enclosures, are built to meet stringent safety standards. They provide protection against explosions and other hazards, ensuring the safety of both equipment and personnel.

Yes, Rittal offers outdoor housings specifically designed to withstand extreme weather conditions, including rain, snow, and UV radiation. These enclosures are built for durability and security, making them ideal for outdoor applications.

Rittal provides a comprehensive range of spare parts to ensure your enclosures and systems remain operational. These include replacement locks, seals, mounting accessories, and more, all designed to match the original equipment's quality and specifications.

Rittal’s hygienic design enclosures are crafted to meet the strict hygiene requirements of industries like food processing and pharmaceuticals. They feature smooth surfaces, rounded edges, and are resistant to contamination, ensuring compliance with industry-specific regulations.
