The workshop at emf is equipped with a wide variety of machinery and tools, so that we can make and put together the right pieces of the puzzle. Parts of the puzzle can come in the form of custom busbars, clever shielding, or nifty mounting brackets.
We are constantly considering every part and piece, and how everything works together for the end result. By doing so, we can provide our customers with the most reliable switchboards.
Smooth, shiny PVC that stays clean! (not expanded foam)
Fire resistant - does not sustain a flame.
Spare cut-outs for controls or RCDs on Main Switch rail.
LC and W series switchboard masking panels are made from punched 1.2mm zinc plated steel and powdercoated white.
Gland Plates
All S Series switchboards and custom switchboards come with 4mm grey PVC gland plates top and bottom unless stated.
Aluminium - 3mm thick.
Grey PVC - 4.5mm thick.

Double Hinged Gear Trays
Double hinged insulated gear trays for S Series. These are our standard go-to gear tray for metering cabinets. Routered from sturdy 10mm signex, and come with wing nuts to secure the gear tray once installation is complete.
These allow for:
Cable access up the back of the cabinet.
Ease of opening.
Hides cabling.
Acts as a cable duct.
Option to router cable holes.
Option to use PVC.
Formica Geartrays
Formica, or Typanel as it's sometimes called, is an insulated material that works well as a metal substitute gear tray. So well, in fact, that it's been mistaken as the old asbestos fuse panel it replaced. We use a 3 Axis CNC router to cut out our sheet products to your specifications.
Black Formica sizes:
4mm
6mm
10mm
We have stock of other sheet products and thicknesses. Please contact us for availability.
