THE CHALLENGE
The main challenge was to protect the wiring of the electrical enclosures against extreme environmental conditions: dust, humidity, thermal variations, and vibrations inherent to plant operation. In addition, the installation had to comply with strict sealing and electrical safety standards (IP68, EMC).
BENEFITS OF THE SOLUTION IMPLEMENTED BY GLAKOR
The IP68 nickel-plated brass cable glands provided an optimal technical solution that combined resistance, safety, and durability:
• Maximum sealing: their compression design ensures a hermetic closure that prevents water or dust ingress.
• High corrosion resistance: the nickel-plated brass finish preserves material integrity even in humid or corrosive environments.
• Electrical safety and grounding continuity: the metallic body ensures excellent conductivity and protection against electromagnetic interference.
• Durability and low maintenance: premium materials reduce interventions and extend the service life of the installation.
• Fast and precise assembly: wide compatibility with different diameters and threads optimizes installation time on site.
With this solution, Glakor ensured the protection and reliability of the plant’s electrical system, contributing to the operational success of a key project for sustainable energy development in the region.
CONCLUSION
Glakor’s participation in the Logrosán biomass plant demonstrates the value of tailored electrical engineering and the reliability of its solutions for demanding industrial environments. Thanks to the quality of the IP68 nickel-plated brass cable glands, the installation maintains its optimal and safe performance under adverse environmental conditions, ensuring the project’s operational continuity. This case reinforces Glakor’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and technical excellence, supported by more than 50 years of experience in high-performance electrical solutions.
