The VERTEX HOT RUNNER BOXES are really "a service" we offer our customers by building our controllers into suitable free standing boxes that can be used for controlling various applications. This is done by our approved subcontractors to our high standard and specification.

It is clearly less expensive for you to purchase the controllers and solid state relays and do it yourself, but for those who do not have the facilities or expertise we offer this service.

• Choose from our versatile range of boxes able to house anything from 1 to 6 controllers per box
• Depending on the level of control you require, you can choose either the VD26, VT26 or VT30 series 48 x 48 size units for your box (Or other sizes on demand)
• Our boxes are built to high standards, incorporating a circuit breaker on the front to act as the box electrical overload protection and provide easily accessible isolation if and when required.
• We use Solid State Relays in order to give the best possible on/off control rather than relays or contactors along with our Fuzzy Enhanced PID controllers.
• Our SSR's are mounted on suitable heat sinks to provide adequate cooling.
• We always incorporate the correct semi-conductor fuse protection to protect each SSR output circuit.
• We use the correct thermocouple cable and plugs to ensure best accuracy of measurement and control.
• We offer the choice of IEC or Harting plugs for the load connection depending on pricing pressure and load current factors.
• Should we feel it necessary a cooling fan is installed to help reduce the temperature in the box.
• Over and above this each box is engineered so that correct wire sizes are chosen to be used in the box and all neatly packaged and assembled.
• We are flexible and will always try to accommodate your specific needs regarding connection plugs etc

In order to quote a box

Information we require from you.......

• How many zones (controllers) do you require in one box.
• What controller would you like us to use (Or a little information about your application so that we can advise)
• What type of load will you be controlling and how many amps will it draw (How many watts or KW is each load)
• Is the load inductive or resistive or if you are not sure simply what is the load.
• What voltage will you be using and will it be single or 3 phase.
• What kind of temperature probe will you use (Thermocouple and type or perhaps PT100)
• Any special circumstances we should know about. ie will the box be used in extra high ambient temperature places etc.

Send us an e-mail with this info or give us a call and we can discuss your application and quote a price should you so require.

• These boxes are designed and built to your specification and as such are special purchase items and are non-returnable under any circumstances. The onus is on you to ensure that what we offer is what you need and will do your job.
• Visit our general terms and conditions page Terms and Conditions.

• The delivery will be confirmed at the time of quoting once we have evaluated your requirements.
• We always require up front payment with these orders.
