- Industrial Quality made in Western Europe

New Product Line topTER equipped with unique features:
The easy open window, the possibility of installing auxiliary contacts signalling
the inserted plug, the fuse guard system, the A32 isolator switch, the high visibility
and many more...

Active protection

	Even in risky environmental situation, topTER‘s reinforced watertight body protects you from accidental contacts with live parts.

	The EasyOpen window makes the opening and the closing easier, even repeatedly. No force is required; the side buttons are designed to make the opening as easy as possible. Fuse boxes are so easy to remove and cartridges can be safely inserted.

	The auxiliary contact lets you turn on a remote socket-plug connection signal to monitor energy distribution remotely.

	Fuse operations are continually signalled to even inexpert users with a hazard light.

	Fuse boxes can be locked with selfthreading screws. This tamper-proof system prevents theft, thus avoiding costly disservices.

	A32 inside. AC23A-AC3 work class, 10,000A conditional short circuit current and guaranteed cut-off. It eliminates machine downtime probabilities.

	High visibility. It is the only patented switch that permits remote switch status identification. It can be locked in the “0” and “I” positions.

	IP66 / IP67. It is the only dual protection level socket in its class. It guarantees resistance against violent blows (IP66) and is protected against accidental immersions (IP67).

Heavy Duty Flue Gas DAMPERS

Applications: evacuation of non-grain flue gas, hot air and fresh air circuits
e.g. for Power Stations, Gas Turbine Plants, FGD Plants, DeNOx Plants, Cement Works, Waste Incineration Plants and other industrial installations.

thenex GmbH is optimizing its engineering and on-site services in respect to flue gas dampers.

As such, we are in the position to cope with even the largest and complex damper contract in an efficient and timely manner.

thenex and its partner will conduct the entire process from technical consulting, design and engineering up to manufacturer and installation including commercial execution – based on your specific needs and process requirements.

The supplies and services cover all process equipment required:

• for shut off flue gas ducts
• for divert or control of flue gas flows
• for maintenance of process equipment
during plant operation
• to bypass isolated process equipment
• to enable a controlled part-load operation
• to protect process equipment at failure
• due to fast opening or closing dampers

Any process-specific challenge such as high temperatures or extreme temperature cycles, fluctuating pressure or high dust loads and corrosive attacks can be addressed by corresponding flue gas dampers/valves in practically every industrial installation.

The application of sensors with terminal chamber connection is commonly used in the Food & Beverage industry. In order to profit from the advantages of the uprox^®+ Factor 1 sensors, the uprox^®+ Wash-Down series is now also available with extremely flexible terminal chamber connection.

The sensor allows a straight or 90° angled cable routing by simply twisting the cover. The removable terminal strip with convenient and vibration resistant cage clamp technology enables simple and quick connection of the sensor. LEDs in the terminal chamber inform the user about the switching status.

The new uprox^®+ sensors with cage clamp technology are available as M12, M18 and M30 versions, fulfi l all requirements of food safety and are FDA conform.

V4A stainless steel housings and a special sealing guarantee reliable protection against aggressive cleaning agents and high pressure cleaning methods.

Like all uprox^®+ Factor 1 sensors the new terminal chamber version guarantees maximum freedom with regard to development of machinery and systems. Highest switching distances and extreme flexibility with regard to mounting, are only two outstanding advantages of this sensor type – especially when considering stainless steel targets which commonly occur in the Food & Beverage industry.
