Custom Stainless Enclosures Highlights 4Xxtreme® Double Seal Enclosures™

Built to withstand extreme conditions while maintaining peak sanitation standards

Custom Stainless Enclosures Highlights 4Xxtreme® Double Seal Enclosures™

Custom Stainless Enclosures, Inc. continues to innovate and lead the industry with the highest washdown standards for electrical enclosures, highlights its 4Xxtreme® Double Seal Enclosures for extreme indoor and outdoor environments. The 4Xxtreme® Enclosures feature patented Double Seal and Double Stud® Mounting Technology, an ultra-clean free-draining design, an award-winning “Single Hygienic Quarter Turn Door Design”, and a field replaceable blue gasket system, resulting in a revolutionary enclosure that leads the industry in the lowest overall cost of ownership and is ideal for all industries including food, pharma, oil and gas, and wastewater.

4Xxtreme® Double Seal Enclosures are UL Type: 4X rated, with additional ratings of IP66 & IP69K. Custom Stainless Enclosures is the first company in North America to Manufacture IP69K (High Pressure Wash-Down) rated enclosures. All Custom Stainless Enclosures’ washdown ratings have been 3rd party tested and verified by UL.


The 4Xxtreme® Double Seal technology offers multiple layers of protection. The outer seal rejects 99.9999% of water, so the inner seal never sees any water pressure. Any water that does get through the outer seal is minimal and easily passes through the weep holes in the bottom of the enclosure door, ensuring there’s never water build-up between the two seals.

All 4Xxtreme® Double Seal Enclosures also feature a field replaceable blue gasket system, an easy-to-install “Push On" style gasket that requires minimal installation labor. The gasket system is made from an EPDM material that’s highly chemical-resistant and can handle consistently high temperatures of 250⁰F (121⁰C). In addition, because the gasket material is blue, all 4Xxtreme® gaskets are considered "Foreign Material Detectable".

All 4Xxtreme® Double Seal Enclosures also feature a 2021 Process Expo Innovation Award-winning “Single Hygienic Quarter Turn Door Design”. The biggest problem with electrical enclosures in processing plants is people don’t turn all the quarter turns to properly close an enclosure door. By minimizing the number of door closure points to “One”, this design reduces premature electrical failures, increases plant production and revenue, and reduces the overall cost of equipment ownership.

4Xxtreme® patented (welded in place) Double Stud® Mounting System provides secure mounting for the back panel on the inside, while also providing an external mounting means from the outside which eliminates any need for mounting gaskets. This system also simplifies the installation process, which reduces their customers cost of installation labor and the overall cost of ownership.

4Xxtreme® Customized Solutions provides their customers with seven top configurations as opposed to the usual two—more than any other electrical enclosure manufacturer on the market today. “Building Your Enclosure Your Way” is their motto when it comes to offering their customers a unique customized enclosure solution in any size, shape or top configuration required.

The combination of 4Xxtreme®’s patented Double Seal Technology, field replaceable gasket system, single quarter turn door design, patented Double Stud® Mounting System, custom configuration options, and overall hygienic design give the 4Xxtreme® Enclosures the lowest cost of ownership in the industry. These key features keep internal electrical components safe and greatly extend the product’s life cycle.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
