Speed Control: device enclosure changes in 2024

New enclosures for ELETOR devices

Last year, we tested a dozen new enclosure models for our Speed Control series devices. The main reason for deciding to change the enclosures was to maximise the reliability of our devices, including by improving enclosure sealing and their resistance to operation in harsh climatic conditions.

The photos below show the new enclosure for SC-S model controllers. The enclosure has a cast-in gasket in the front panel. In addition, the material from which the enclosure is made is noticeably harder and resistant to mechanical damage. The enclosure is mounted on a wall by drilling holes that join its two parts. Once the clamping screws are tightened, the enclosure becomes highly sealed, protecting the electronic modules from the adverse effects of factors such as moisture and dust. We have also added innovative cable glands to the enclosures, with a factory-fitted membrane gasket that provides additional protection for the electronics inside our devices.

Today, 16 January 2024, we received the first batch of 1280 new enclosures in three different sizes and models at our warehouse. We will write about the other two models later, when we begin the implementation process for new projects.

We realise that the world of technology moves fast, leaving behind companies that cannot keep up with change. However, our nearly 20 years of experience in the agricultural sector have repeatedly shown that our customers value device reliability, intuitive operation and the availability of servicing.

In Poland alone, our devices operate in livestock buildings, controlling ventilation and feeding processes in real time for at least several million farm animals, including pigs, cattle and poultry. With this in mind, every change to our devices is carefully considered and tailored to farmers' needs. There is no room for spontaneous changes driven by fashion or a one-off need. When we make a software change, the new feature is introduced in all new production batches of that model.

We hope that changing the enclosures will further increase your trust in and interest in our products.

Finally, what we believe is good news. This year, we do not expect to increase the prices of our products as a result of the enclosure changes. We offset the increased production costs through the benefits of increased production scale.

As always, we thank you for your trust and new orders — for 19 years now. May your farms grow and develop safely alongside our production.
