Product description
VX Baying enclosure system, WHD: 800x2000x600 mm, stainless steel, 1.4301, with mounting plate, single door at the front
Feature: Premium stainless steel construction using 1.4301 (AISI 304) with exterior brushed finish and internally braced frame. Business impact: excellent corrosion resistance and long service life in washdown environments reduces maintenance downtime and replacement costs. Application: ideal for process automation, chemical processing, water treatment, and outdoor electrical infrastructure where durability and hygiene matter. In practice, this means fewer panel failures and less spare parts inventory for critical systems. Feature: Comprehensive kit includes enclosure frame, one front door, rear panel, mounting plate, roof plate, gland plates, 2 punched rails, and a robust locking system. Business impact: accelerates commissioning by delivering a ready-to-install platform, improves cable management, and minimizes field modifications. Application: control cabinets and electrical infrastructure installations that require consistent hardware, precise fit, and repeatable performance across multiple sites. The included hardware also helps ensure correct assembly torque and secure mounting. Feature: Dimensions and mounting plate defined: Width 800 mm, Height 2000 mm, Depth 600 mm; mounting plate 699 x 1,896 mm. Business impact: precise footprint and mounting compatibility streamline layout planning, reduce enclosure-to-frame gaps, and optimize airflow. Application: cabinet designs where space constraints are critical, and mounting plates must align with internal equipment rails. These measurements allow straightforward CAD integration and faster drawing validation. Feature: Protection and standards set: IP55 protection, IK10 impact resistance, NEMA 1, UL 50E Type 1. Business impact: regulatory compliance and safety in harsh industrial environments, enabling risk reduction and smoother audits. Application: automation cabinets in manufacturing, water treatment, and process industries that must meet multiple regional standards. The combination of protection levels also supports modularity and future expansion without enclosure replacement. Feature: Sustainability and logistics data: weight per pack 126 kg, PCF 310.4 kg CO2 eq (Cat B), EAN 4028177920194; robust for procurement planning and lifecycle assessments. Business impact: supports lifecycle assessment, responsible procurement, and logistics planning. Application: large deployments across multiple facilities, where predictable pack weights and carbon footprints simplify supplier selection and transport planning.

FAQs

Follow the supplied hardware package and install the enclosure frame with the included mounting plate sized 699 x 1,896 mm. Use the 18 x 39 mm punched rails for internal rack mounting, align the plate with the frame, and fasten using metal multi-tooth screws 2486.400 as recommended due to stainless steel hardness. Allow for the 126 kg pack weight during handling and ensure proper lifting precautions. This setup accelerates interior wiring and reduces misalignment during panel assembly.
The VX 8450.000 delivers IP55 ingress protection and IK10 impact resistance, meeting NEMA 1 enclosure standards and UL 50E Type 1 requirements. These ratings support safe operation in harsh industrial settings and simplify compliance across regional regulations, including automation, water treatment, and process industries.
Yes, the door is hinged on the right by default and can be swapped to the left to fit confined spaces or wraparound layouts. This flexibility improves maintenance access in tight installations and supports easy servicing of interior components without reworking the enclosure footprint.
The enclosure footprint is 800 mm wide, 2000 mm high, and 600 mm deep, with a mounting plate size of 699 x 1,896 mm. The unit ships in a 126 kg pack and includes gland plates and mounting hardware, enabling efficient cable management and predictable space for internal rack or panel assemblies.
The enclosure provides a PCF of 310.4 kg CO2 eq (Category B) per pack, informing lifecycle assessments and ESG reporting. For procurement, the 126 kg weight and standardized dimensions simplify logistics, shipping planning, and multi-site deployments while maintaining high durability and compliance across facilities.
