Double-door panel
For a process section or a machine group.
A double-door enclosure is what a process section needs when one door is no longer enough to reach the inside of it: a mixing station with its drives and dosing, a filling section, a group of conveyors controlled as one sequence.
The width is the point. It lets the internal layout be organised across the backplate in functional zones — incoming supply and protection, drives, control, I/O — instead of stacked vertically because there was nowhere else to put it.
Why width beats height
A tall narrow cabinet holds the same components as a wide one, and is considerably worse to work on. Stacked components mean the wiring crosses zones, terminals end up above head height or at floor level, and tracing a fault means working through layers. Width lets each function sit in its own area with its own terminals — which is why a fault takes ten minutes to find rather than two hours.
When to choose this size
The situations this panel is the right answer for — and the one where we would point you to a different size.
A process section or a machine group controlled as one sequence.
Enough drives and I/O that the internal layout has to be zoned rather than stacked.
A plant where maintenance is done by your own team and access matters as much as capacity.
An installation where the cabinet stands against a wall and is worked on from the front only.
When a different size fits better
Once the scope is a complete production line rather than a section of it, the panel becomes a line-up of bays — with the control and indication grouped per drive on the doors.

Frequently asked questions
Not answered here? Write to us — an engineer replies.
Can you build a panel to our own drawings and component list?
Yes. If you send finished drawings we build to them, including to your preferred component brands so the panel matches the spares you already hold. If you send a process specification instead, our engineers develop the control architecture with you and you approve the drawings before anything is ordered.
How large a system can you build?
The largest example on this page is a three-bay line-up controlling a complete production line, and multi-bay systems are routine work. The practical limits are the space available in your building and how the line-up can be brought in and placed — both of which we check at drawing stage.
What protection rating do you build to?
The rating is specified to the environment rather than applied by default — a wash-down food plant and a dry electrical room are not the same problem.
Do you supply the panel with the machinery, or on its own?
Both. When we build the process equipment, the panel is designed and commissioned as part of it — which is the arrangement we would recommend, because the two are then tested together before they reach your site. We also build panels on their own, for machinery you already have or are building yourself.
Can it be installed without stopping our production?
Usually yes, and it is a large part of how we work: the panel is built and tested in our plant, so the time on site is installation and commissioning rather than assembly. The changeover window depends on how the existing control is arranged, which we assess during the site survey.
Where are the panels manufactured?
In our own plants in Tomești (Iași, Romania) and Bălți (Republic of Moldova). The Romanian plant is inside the EU single market, so deliveries within the Union involve no customs and no import duty.
