Use standard office PCs in zone 2 environments
A clever design of enclosure allows standard office-grade PCs to be used in zone 2 environments and is much more affordable than other hazardous area solutions
Dust contamination in print jets can add "rogue" white stripes to bar codes rendering the labels useless, and temperature extremes can stop printers working altogether.
Problems like this prevent many companies from locating their thermal printers where they really need them - in loading bays, dusty storage facilities, washdown areas, chill and freezer stores.
Instead, they hide their printers away in management offices - inconvenient for staff and a hindrance to efficiency.
PrintGard Enclosures are designed to keep thermal printers dry, dust-free and within their recommended temperature range.
The enclosures are available in mild or stainless steel and are robust enough to protect printers from even forklift impact.
A range of thermostatically-controlled heating and cooling systems can be fitted enabling printers to be used in temperatures as low as -30C.
The lockable units will accommodate most models of thermal printer.
