Europe: Fortress’ new interlock switches for high purity applications

Fortress Interlocks launches a range of rugged stainless steel interlock switches for high purity applications such as food, beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical processing.

It is also suitable for outdoor use.

Manufactured from 316 stainless steel and modular in design, the amGardS40 range can be configured to suit many industrial applications.

The range has solenoid locking safety switches, non-solenoid tongue switches, mechanical trapped key interlocks and machine control stations.

The switches are supplied in enclosures sealed to IP69K, allowing them to be pressure washed at high temperatures; they also have a retention force of 10,000N for ensuring guard doors are held closed until machines and/or processes are in a safe condition.

Each module is 40 mm in width, so can easily be fitted to 40mm guarding sections or other areas where space is limited.
