Product Overview

HWST30248SS is a core product of Hammond Manufacturing’s Waterfall Series, a 304 stainless steel wallmount enclosure designed for industrial applications. It is engineered to safely house electrical and electronic equipment while resisting harsh industrial environments. Featuring top-tier protection of IP69K/Type 4X, this enclosure is equipped with a 25° sloped top that prevents water accumulation on the surface and allows additional control component mounting. With continuously welded and ground-smooth seams, 316 stainless steel hinges, and quarter-turn latches, HWST30248SS balances durability and safety. Compliant with multiple international standards (UL 508A, CSA, NSF ANSI 169, etc.), it can be paired with a dedicated inner panel (Model 18P2721) and a wide range of accessories to form a complete equipment protection solution, making it an ideal choice for HWST30248SS industrial protective enclosure applications.

Key Features

• Top-Tier Protection for Multi-Scenario Adaptation: HWST30248SS achieves the IP69K rating (per IEC 60529) and complies with NEMA 3R/4/4X/12/13, UL 508A Type 3R/4/4X/12, and other standards. It resists high-pressure, high-temperature water jets (80-100bar, 80℃), corrosive liquids, and solid debris, adapting to harsh industrial environments.
• High-Quality Material for Longevity: Constructed with 304 stainless steel (upgradeable to 316L stainless steel, corresponding model HWST30248S16), it offers excellent corrosion and impact resistance. Continuously welded seams are ground smooth to further enhance structural sealing and service life.
• 25° Sloped Top with Dual Practical Design: The 25° sloped top of HWST30248SS effectively prevents rainwater and rinse water from accumulating on the surface, avoiding leakage risks. Meanwhile, the sloped surface reserves space for control component installation, improving equipment integration convenience.
• Easy-to-Clean Hinges for Convenient Maintenance: Equipped with 316 stainless steel hinges that support 180° full opening and detachable modification, it is suitable for hose-down cleaning scenarios. Deep cleaning can be completed without disassembling the enclosure, reducing maintenance costs.
• Safe Latches to Prevent Misoperation: 316 stainless steel quarter-turn latches require a dedicated tool for opening, preventing unauthorized misoperation. The door is also equipped with a bonding stud, and the enclosure has a built-in grounding stud to enhance electrical safety protection.

Typical Applications

• Food and Beverage Processing Plants: Frequent equipment rinsing is required in food and beverage production. With IP69K protection and NSF ANSI 169 certification, HWST30248SS resists high-pressure rinse water and food processing residues. Its 304 stainless steel material meets hygiene standards, effectively protecting electrical control equipment (such as inverters and sensors) from contamination and corrosion.
• Automotive Manufacturing Workshops: Harsh conditions such as oil stains, metal shavings, and mechanical vibration exist in workshops. The NEMA 4X protection and 304 stainless steel material of HWST30248SS isolate oil stains and debris, while the wallmount design saves floor space, making it suitable for equipment protection in welding, painting, and other processes.
• Chemical Production Areas: Corrosive gases and liquids are common in chemical environments. HWST30248SS supports upgrading to 316L stainless steel (HWST30248S16) and, combined with IP69K protection, can safely house PLC control cabinets and instrumentation, avoiding equipment failures caused by chemical erosion.
• Outdoor Industrial Control Cabinets: Outdoor scenarios require resistance to natural factors such as rain, snow, and UV rays. The NEMA 3R protection and 25° sloped top of HWST30248SS prevent rainwater accumulation and leakage, and its 304 stainless steel resists UV aging, making it suitable for protecting electrical equipment in photovoltaic power stations and outdoor pump stations.
• Pharmaceutical Production Workshops: The pharmaceutical industry has strict cleanliness requirements. The smooth welded seams and easy-to-clean 316 stainless steel hinges of HWST30248SS reduce hygiene dead spots and support high-temperature, high-pressure disinfection and cleaning. It meets GMP-related requirements, protecting the stable operation of the electrical systems of pharmaceutical equipment.
