The standard use for protective TV enclosures is in outdoor digital signage, however due to the reduced cost of the LCD displays, manufacturing companies are installing these large displays on the factory floors, now the obvious problem with putting a 42″ LCD display in a  production facility is that it is very vulnerable to the air borne elements, such as glass particles in glass manufacturing plants, to carbon in steel plants.

So the answer lies with a rugged LCD enclosure, this is a steel television case that protects the display from the air borne hazards. Should over a period of a few weeks, carbon for example is deposited in to the back of an LCD display, this will cause the display to fail, resulting in additional replacement costs. Now the most sensible choice is to house the display in an IP54 LCD enclosure if it’s in a dusty or general dirty environment, alternatively an IP66 LCD enclosure is ideal for areas that are washed down at the end of the shift to clear contaminates.

Their are many company’s that manufacture protective LCD enclosures for the digital signage market, but the question needs to be asked how the LCD enclosure is going to be cooled or heated depending upon the application and the area the LCD enclosure is being installed. For the standard unit we offer positive pressure cooling to the top end were air conditioning units are used to cool or heat the enclosure.

As more businesses put standard computers on the factory floor for data collection, they need protecting from the dust, fluid and physical abuse they come up against on a day to day basis.

We have various protective PC enclosures that protect to IP65 for protection of dust and fluids, out units will protect the actual computer hardware from coming into contact with hazard elements such as dust and fluid.

We have also developed an LCD enclosure that will accommodate 2 LCD or TFT displays on a factory floor, this is ideal for giving training information on a production line. This unit will accommodate 2 x 21″ TFT displays at the same time and features integral mounting frame (VESA compatible). Our IP65 LCD enclosures and industrial computer enclosures are specifically designed for use on factory floors were standard computers would fail in days.
