Benefits to this approach include that the


client can use and become compliant with the system in a controlled environment at their leisure with a simple introduction to the complete suite of items – including a parallel phone or online conversation with the demonstrating EMKA engineer.


joining service which provides complete machine sealed and joined assemblies of rings and frames for quick installation, without the need to join ends at the point of fitting and with properly engineered and robust sealing around corners. In line with our policy of providing specialist


industries with guidance and support EMKA have recently issued a new Railroad Industry catalogue detailing our extensive range of locks, handles, hinges, gasket and accessories specifically suited to this industry. The catalogue is available online as a PDF for download at https://www.emka.com/uk_en/services/download/ transport/. Railway-related products include compression


The kit also presents an opportunity for the


client to get to see not just the software but the hardware and how they integrate into the anticipated installation. Gasket sealing is perhaps the closest a


product gets to being universal, so we present a comprehensive collection of technical information plus an illustrated listing of sealing profiles showing standard ex-stock sections – downloadable at https://www.emka.com/uk_en/ services/download/industry/. Gasket seals are appropriate for use on


specialist/general-purpose industrial enclosures and cabinets such as electrical and electronic housings, also for arduous environments such as in the food and agriculture industries. Sealing profiles are illustrated for specialist vehicles such as those for sport and leisure, e.g., caravans, motor homes etc also rescue and service vehicles, railway carriages, indoor and outdoor, offshore and underground e.g., fire-resistant and EMF screened. Typical materials used are EPDM, NBR and


silicone – so helpfully we offer descriptions of their characteristics with guidance on suitability for different environments and applications. Of particular interest to customers installing in a series production environment is our gasket

Locking solutions for heating, ventilation, air


conditioning and refrigeration systems from EMKA are designed to deal with outdoor installations with appropriate degrees of sealing and corrosion resistance. They can suit internally pressurised systems with internal safety handles on heavy, thick doors where operation may be needed with gloved hands. They comply with the special requirements of the HVACR sector and meet the relevant standards such as DIN EN 1886 or VDI 6022. Online guidance notes lead the visitor to a


program of Standard HVACR products including modular locking systems for doors of thickness 25-110mm and a very innovative compression latch-hinge in a single product which allows, hinging, locking and door or panel removal as well as incorporating a pressure relief safety feature. A specialist surface mounted modular door


lock with an internal handle is complemented with a Clip-on sealing profile according to hygiene standard VDI 6022.
