Maritime industry safety seal manufacturer Roxtec UK to launch new cable sealing solutions at Manchester’s Theatre of Dreams

Pipe and cable safety seal manufacturer Roxtec will officially unveil two new additions to its range of high density (HD) cable sealing solutions during an event at Manchester United’s Old Trafford football ground this month.

The Innovation 2020: Cabinet Event is set to take place on March 19 and will be used to showcase two new versions of Roxtec’s HD cable transit devices for use in terminal boxes, cabinets and enclosures. Both products have been developed for high cable density applications with high demands for environmental protection.

The free-to-attend event will also incorporate a technical seminar and workshop, covering the latest approaches to cabinet and enclosure sealing. The session will focus on the technical aspects of hazardous area sealing, bonding and grounding with Roxtec solutions.

Clive Sharp, Managing Director of Roxtec UK, said:

“We are excited to be introducing our latest HD cable sealing solutions at the Innovation 2020: Cabinet Event, and the home of Manchester United will provide a suitably inspiring backdrop. The day will bring together Roxtec experts from around the globe, and we’re also looking forward to welcoming engineers and managers from a whole range of industries to Old Trafford. Just like existing products within Roxtec’s HD range, these new transits represent safe, secure and cost-effective cable sealing solutions. They allow companies to save time during the design, installation and upgrade phases, and are tested and approved to provide environmental protection in the harshest environments.”

50% more area efficient than traditional cable glands

New for 2020 is the Roxtec HD 16, for up to 16 cables, and the Roxtec HDLC, for large cables up to 54mm. The existing Roxtec HD 32 for up to 41 cables is already a success. All three are available for Ex e/Ex tb rated terminal and junction boxes and fulfill the requirements for bonding and grounding. Roxtec HD transits are certified as a replacement to cable glands. They are quick to install, 50 percent more area efficient than traditional cable glands and can help reduce installation costs by 50 percent.

Roxtec HD transits are available in versions for ATEX, IECEx and NEC projects. The transits consist of AISI 316L acid-proof stainless steel frames and Roxtec sealing modules, making them adaptable to cables of many different sizes.

Space and weight saving design 

Roxtec HD transits make it easy to seal multiple armored or non-armored cables in each opening. This is a great advantage in comparison to cable glands as it allows designers and manufacturers to reduce the quantity, size and weight of cabinets and enclosures drastically. It is possible to cut weight by half and increase cable capacity by up to 40 percent when compared to cable glands.

The day will also be suitable for managers responsible for asset management and maintenance, quality, safety and environmental. For more information and to register interest, visit here
