Cable entry through the control panel base
icotek enclosure base plates increase safety and productivity
Control panels that are used in industrial production facilities must be reliably protected against the ingress of dirt and dust. The solution to dirty enclosure interiors: icotek enclosure base plates for dust-tight cable entry.

KDR-BMP
Enclosure base plate for mounting of MP modular gland plates. Suitable for Rittal enclosures.
The problem: dirty control panels
Control panels used in industrial production facilities must be reliably protected against the ingress of dirt and dust. Otherwise, the conductivity of the deposits can lead to short circuits, and their thermal insulation capacity can cause individual components to overheat. This can lead to machine downtime and, in the worst case, electric shock or fire hazards.
In particular, the base of an enclosure can become a weak point if cables are not adequately sealed and the enclosure's degree of protection is not maintained.
In particular, the ventilation and air-conditioning components of the enclosure suck the dust into the enclosure and distribute it.

The solution: the patented KDR systems for panel base cable entry
Prefabricated enclosure base gland plates and modular gland plates with standard cut-outs for our KEL cable entry systems enable a quick and easy install. The KDR-ESR is a one-piece plate to be assembled on enclosure bases. Slide frames for the KEL cable entry frames are already pre-assembled.
Various flange plates that fit e.g. on AX/AE compact enclosures, KX KL terminal boxes or BG bus enclosures by Rittal let you easily mount our cable entry devices at your enclosure wall.
Enclosure base plates – why the KDR solution is worth it
- Sealing of the control panel base with IP54 (certified acc. to EN 60529)
- Extremely simple assembly and disassembly from inside the control panel. The enclosure does not need to be lifted!
- During assembly, almost the complete base of the enclosure can be used for installation of cables
- Even large connectors can be installed easily
- Retrofitting possible without disconnecting cables. Everything can be built around the cables
- No additional sheet metal work required
- Long durability of the seals
- The icotek flexibility: base plates are designed for Rittal VX25/TS 8, Häwa H390/H395 and nVent Hoffman ProLine G2 enclosures. Other sizes can be supplied on request
