CUSTOM SOLUTION FOR dairy hygiene production


Customised enclosures from Spelsberg UK with CNC machined entry points and mounting plates have been installed by a dairy equipment manufacturer to speed up production processes


A


mbic Equipment, a leading manufacturer of dairy hygiene and


livestock health management products, is using customised enclosures from Spelsberg UK to house its latest dosing and dilutions system, the EasiDoser. The enclosures which are certified for installation in ammonia-rich agricultural applications have been provided with CNC machined entry points and custom mounting plates to speed up the manufacturing process. Ambic’s products are found in dairy


farms around the world. Specialising in Mastitis prevention and detection systems, the brand is trusted by thousands of farmers to help protect their livestock and livelihood. Originally working with the National Institute of for Research in Dairying (NIRD), Ambic now has a dedicated R&D team in-house who are responsible for product development, product improvement and technical support. Part of Ambic’s success lies in its commitment to sourcing the best components for all of its products and systems including its enclosures which are important to overall product quality. “When asked to name industries with harsh environments dairy farming isn’t at the top of many peoples’ list,” explains RFE product manager Rajesh Shah. “However, the reality is that dairy equipment is exposed to mechanical, thermal and chemical loads as high or higher than the average industrial setting. “In the milking parlour for example our products are exposed to high ammonia and humidity levels, to say nothing of the risk of mechanical stress imposed by an


excitable cow. When designing a new product one of our first considerations has to be how to protect the delicate PCB, pumps and wiring from these conditions. “Over the years we’ve learned that


Spelsberg is an enclosures supplier we can trust so often the first call we make is to their sales engineers.” Spelsberg UK is the largest ex-stock


supplier of non-metallic electrical enclosures in the UK. With extensive CNC and installation facilities, it is able to work with OEMs and designers to deliver an almost infinite range of housing solutions that can be tailored to meet the need of any application. Spelsberg understands the demands of agriculture which is why most of its enclosures are certified to DLG standards (German Agricultural Society). “We’ve been working with Ambic for


many years and supply customised enclosures for a lot of their products,” comments area sales manager Clare


ENCLOSURES FOR HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS


IDEC Corporation has introduced the EC2B Series of enclosures, control stations and accessories for hazardous location (HazLoc) applications. These products are said to deliver exceptional value and time savings to panel builders and end users with global approvals for hazardous environments and popular standard and customised control station configurations built and delivered to customer specifications. These control stations utilise IDEC’s EU2B line of hazardous location pushbuttons, pilot lights, selector switches, key selector switches, emergency stop switches and analog meters.


All EC2B and EU2B products are UL certified for use


in Zone 1 and 2 and in hazardous locations by IECEx (Global), ATEX (Europe) and TIIS (Japan) to meet the strictest safety standards. The enclosures and fully- sealed pilot devices are rated IP65 and Type 4X for protection against water and corrosion and available with exposed or finger-safe IP20 screw terminals. They are constructed of 304 stainless steel to provide long service life in hazardous and corrosive areas.

enclosure were required which ensured high level protection, accommodate the microprocessor and LCD display and work with the pumps and other system components


McCusker. “A UK manufacturer with a fantastic reputation across Europe and further afield, it’s great that we are able to play a small part in the continued success of the business. When Rajesh approached us for his latest application we were happy to help and quickly offered a solution which would work with his overall design.” The EasiDoser is a range of automated dosing and dilution systems which dispense and dose precise quantities of fluid for cleaning or sanitisation purposes. With an LCD display and keypad on the front of the unit for easy set up, it is fully configurable to suit different applications. The system is based on combining Ambic’s well proven range of RFE low- and high volume peristaltic pumps with a new microprocessor control system developed in-house.


BESPOKE ENGINEERED SOLUTION “I approached Spelsberg with a precise set of criteria for the EasiDoser,” continues Shah. “I needed to be able to source different sizes of enclosures which not only ensured the usual high level protection but would accommodate the microprocessor and LCD display as well as working with the pumps and other components that make up the system. Spelsberg understood what we needed and provided a bespoke engineered solution which met all of my original requests. “The customised entry solutions and bespoke mounting plate makes installation simple and helps to maximise the reliability of the finished product. We’re extremely happy with the solution provided which is precisely what we’ve come to expect from Spelsberg.” Spelsberg supplies Ambic with a number


of different enclosure designs including its popular TK and TG range in addition to customisation services such as CNC machining and bespoke mounting plates. Its expert sales engineers are able to offer design advice throughout the specification process and deliver pre-installed enclosures upon request.
