Economy Metal Works custom manufactures a vast range of enclosures, including NEMA rated, for a wide variety of satisfied customers in the power generation, petrochemical, construction, and other industries. As a custom precision metal fabricator, EMW is expert in the design and manufacture of enclosures and housings in stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum and galvanized, in almost any shape and size. From small control boxes used on offshore oilrigs to enclosures for large portable gas turbines, EMW can custom form and manufacture Nema Enclosures for just about any application or environment.
From prototype to production, EMW is equipped to deliver the custom manufactured NEMA enclosures or housing that your application demands.
NEMA Enclosures
NEMA ratings define products in terms of safety, construction, tolerances, and many other characteristics. EMW is long experienced in manufacturing enclosures and housings of many kinds to a variety of NEMA ratings, for countless applications and for use in a wide range of environments.
Some commonly used NEMA enclosures that EMW can custom manufacture include:
- 1 - Indoor: Minimal protection, not typically used in industrial environments. Enclosures provide a degree of protection to personnel against incidental contact with the equipment enclosed within and to provide a degree of protection against falling dirt.
- 12 - Indoor: Dirt, dust, dripping liquid tight. Enclosures constructed (without knockouts) for indoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against incidental contact with the equipment enclosed within; to provide a degree of protection against falling dirt; against circulating dust, lint, fibers, and flying debris; and against dripping and light splashing of liquids.
- 4 - Outdoor: Nema Enclosures constructed for either indoor or outdoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against incidental contact with the equipment enclosed within; to provide a degree of protection against falling dirt, rain, sleet, snow, windblown dust, splashing and hose-directed water; and that will not be damaged by the formation of ice on the exterior of the enclosure.
- 4X - Outdoor: NEMA Enclosures 4 plus corrosion resistance.
- 6 - Outdoor: Nema Enclosures constructed for either indoor or outdoor use to provide a degree of protection to personnel against incidental contact with the equipment enclosed within; to provide a degree of protection against falling dirt; against hose-directed water and the entry of water during occasional temporary submersion at a limited depth; and that will not be damaged by the external formation of ice on the enclosure.
(Note: The above are only brief summaries for reference purposes here, and not intended as complete descriptions. See www.nema.org for complete info on NEMA ratings)
In addition to meeting a range of NEMA requirements, EMW can custom configure your enclosure, in terms of cutout patterns, shelves, louvers, dampers, benches, sub-panels, rails and just about any special requirement you may have. A variety of finishing options are also available when needed.
As a custom precision metal fabricator, EMW can deliver you a NEMA rated enclosure to your specifications. Flexibility and diversification are the regular modus operandi here, and we are happy to custom manufacture a NEMA rated enclosure that satisfies your application’s special needs and demands.
Types of NEMA rated enclosures EMW can manufacture include electrical / electronic enclosures, rack mount enclosures or chassis, and sound attenuating / turbine enclosures.
We manufacture our NEMA enclosures and housings, like all of our products, in mild carbon steel, stainless steel (304 and 316), and aluminum (Series 3000, 5000 and 6000). A variety of finishing options are available when needed.
NEMA Enclosures Formed to Fit Your Requirements
Our Nema enclosures are created through a metal forming process (not through a metal extrusion process), which gives us the flexibility required to manufacture a unique NEMA enclosure that fits the requirements of each customer’s application. EMW’s metal forming process also allows for the manufacturion of NEMA enclosures that meet close tolerances.
EMW is a full service metal fabricator offering a wide range of capabilities in the manufacture of NEMA enclosures or housings and a vast range of other products.
These capabilities include:
- CAD/CAM Design and Programming
- CNC precision shearing up to 12 ft. in 1/4" carbon steel, 3/8" aluminum, 3/16 stainless steel
- CNC punching up to 1/4" plate
- 12ft. press brakes up to 350 ton with CNC back gauging
- Saw, torch, and plasma cutting
- Mig and tig welding all alloys
- Rolling up to 1/4" x 8 ft. long, and 3/8" x 6 ft. long
- Structural Fabrication (Skids, enclosures, rails, ladders, stairs, stands and more)
- Water Jet precision cutting with a 12ft.x12ft working envelope
We have finishing options (powder coat or wet paint) available when needed. Although we are not paint experts by trade or claim to be, we do offer coating/application services through outside sources. All coating will be at the customer's request and specification. In order that the customer receives the proper coating for their exact application all specifications must come from and be approved by the customer prior to coating. EMW does not make coating recommendations for any application. Essentially, you tell us the kind of coating or finish you need or prefer and we will make sure that coating or finish is applied properly.
Whether you have CAD drawings ready or just verbal instructions to provide, you can be confident that EMW has the experience, know-how and determination to follow-through on your project and manufacture a NEMA enclosure that will fit your application.
