Switches, sensors and enclosures specialist, Bernstein Ltd, has added a brand new range of high specification enclosures to its extensive variety of products as a direct response to demand from industries requiring protection from water and steam ingress.

The new range has been designed to meet the exacting standards of the IP69K rating; IP69K is a high pressure, high temperature wash down rating which provides complete protection against contact with internal electronic or electrical components, full protection against infiltration of dust and protection from high pressure water jets or steam jet cleaning (80–100 bar).

Bernstein's IP69K enclosures include silicon gaskets and are available in a stainless steel brush surface finish or zinc coated mild steel powder coated to RAL 7035. A range of standard sizes are available including 100 x 100 x 75mm, 150 x 150 x 80mm and 200 x 100 x 100mm - the enclosures can also be produced in customised sizes, designed to suit individual needs.
