Shielded enclosures to protect personnel, equipment and the industrial environment
LAVAYSSIERE know-how for a response designed and adapted to the most sensitive industrial environments.
In high-risk industrial sectors – whether radiological, electromagnetic or chemical – the safety of operators and the protection of equipment are essential. Shielded enclosure is the technical solution of choice, combining containment performance with regulatory compliance.
What is shielded enclosure ?
Shielded enclosure or containment is a protective covering or casing designed to encapsulate or isolate sensitive equipment, work areas or installations. Depending on the nature of the risks, several solutions can be integrated:
- Ballistic and mechanical shield. It protects against splinters, projections, broken tools or debris from industrial processes.
- Lead shielding. It is needed in radiation protection to combat radiation.
- Faraday cages. They prevent electromagnetic interference (EMC), which is detrimental to the operation of measurement and automation equipment.
- Laser protection. Design of multi-material panels to contain laser emissions in high-precision sectors.
These solutions take the form of fully shielded containment cells, protective boxes or handling enclosures. (see our Containment page)
Why opt for shielded enclosure? What are the benefits?
The manufacture and installation of an shielded enclosure makes it possible to :
- Protect operators against radiation and electromagnetic emissions. Reduce the risks of exposure.
- Safeguarding the integrity of sensitive equipment against electromagnetic interference (measuring machines, sensors, automated systems)
- Meet the safety requirements imposed by current standards and European directives (EMC, radiation protection, machine safety, etc.).
- Facilitate maintenance operations in safe, controlled conditions.
- Enhancing the industrial image with a controlled, compliant and safe environment.
Each project requires a personalized approach and study, taking into account your various constraints in terms of access, maintenance, radiation, space and ventilation.
Shielded casing and CSR approach
Integrating shielded enclosures for your machines and installations is an active part of a solid CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) approach:
- Health and safety in the workplace: optimum protection for employees, reduction of accidents and occupational illnesses.
- Environmental protection: Limiting harmful emissions into the environment.
- Regulatory compliance: Anticipating legal and societal obligations.
- Durability: Designed to last, shoring solutions reduce the need for replacement and intensive maintenance.
In this sense, investing in shielded enclosures means choosing social responsibility as much as industrial performance.
