Industrial enclosures for public transport and military vehicles

Bocube Alu and Euromas Aluminium are lines of aluminum enclosures offered by Bopla for railway and bus public transport applications, as well as military vehicles, where the highest safety standards for materials in the event of fire are required, minimizing the emission of harmful substances during combustion. Both enclosure lines meet the DIN EN 45545-2 railway standard regarding harmful substance emissions in terms of their coating.

The testing was carried out by the renowned European laboratory RST Rail System Testing GmbH. Below are the test results.

In addition to ensuring safety in terms of coating with the appropriate documentation required during technical inspections, Bopla enclosures provide maximum protection against water, dust, and mechanical damage (achieving impact protection level IK09 according to IEC 62262 standards).

All Bopla enclosures are tested for IP rating according to DIN EN 60529, as detailed below.

As per the manufacturer, we emphasize again that the IP rating of a non-machined enclosure cannot be automatically applied to a machined one, as machining results in a loss of the IP rating declared for the non-machined enclosure. It is necessary to conduct new tests and then document the achieved IP rating for the device. At Bopla, we perform such tests for typical railway or bus applications involving aluminum enclosures with conduit connectors or cable glands. Watch the video of our test conducted on the Bopla Euromas Alu enclosure, catalog number A 140, measuring 230 x 200 x 110 mm, and the A 110 enclosure measuring 125 x 80 x 60 mm—the most popular sizes for railway applications. We achieved IP 68 certification confirmed by Bopla's internal certificate!!!

Certificate No. 981 IPx8 test compliant with DIN EN 60529

Certificate No. 982 IPx8 test compliant with DIN EN 60529

Additional corrosion protection for aluminum enclosures

At Bopla, we can also secure the enclosure with an additional protective coating so that the enclosures meet the requirements of ISO 9227 (960h salt spray test). To meet this standard, aluminum enclosures must undergo surface treatment and appropriate painting. In the salt spray test, the following results can be achieved: 1000 hours: passivation + powder coating 336 hours: passivation only (high concentration) on uncoated aluminum.

Key features of the Bocube Alu line:

Thanks to its modern design, Bocube Alu sets new design trends in the die-cast enclosure sector.

Recess in the cover for flush mounting of displays and/or keyboards, with ample side space for attaching cable glands. Accessories for wall mounting are available.

The integrated hinge provides easy access to the interior without unscrewing all the cover screws.

All components are permanently attached to the enclosure during assembly, installation, or servicing. This ensures Bocube Alu complies with the EU Machinery Directive.

Key features of the Euromas Aluminium enclosures:

Wide range of types with the ability to adapt to various project requirements.

Precisely cast neoprene gasket.

Optional silicone gaskets and EMC versions available.

Mounting of front plates and TS 35 rails in the base of the enclosure.

Versions with transparent covers.

Hinges with mounting screws.

Option for painting in colors other than the standard gray, similar to RAL 7001.

Numerous optional mounting accessories.
