자주 묻는 질문
Can IP56 enclosures be used in submerged environments?
IP56 protects against water jets but not full submersion. For underwater use, consider our IP67 or IP68-rated enclosures.
What certifications do you provide for export?
All units include CE, UL, and ATEX documentation. Customized test reports available upon request.
How to ensure proper heat dissipation?
Use our optional ventilation kits (sold separately) or consult our engineers for airflow optimization.
Can IP56 enclosures be used outdoors?
Yes. IP56 enclosures are widely used in outdoor environments, particularly where there is exposure to:
Rain or splashing water
Dust and airborne particles
UV radiation (when made with UV-stable materials or coatings)
They are commonly used in telecommunications, outdoor control systems, solar equipment, and public infrastructure.
What materials are used for Hofengfab’s IP56 enclosures?
We offer IP56 enclosures in:
304 or 316L Stainless Steel – Excellent corrosion resistance
Aluminum Alloy – Lightweight and naturally corrosion-resistant
Polycarbonate or ABS Plastics – Ideal for cost-effective, non-metallic applications
All materials are tested for mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and environmental durability.
Can the enclosure be customized?
Absolutely. Hofengfab specializes in custom enclosures. We support:
Cutouts for cable glands, connectors, or displays
Pre-installed brackets, hinges, or locks
Surface finishing (powder coating, passivation, anodizing)
Mounting systems for pole, wall, or rack installations
CAD drawings, STEP files, and samples are available during the design process.
Is the IP56 enclosure fire-resistant?
The enclosure's fire resistance depends on the material used:
Metal enclosures (steel/aluminum) provide inherent fire protection.
Plastic enclosures are made from UL94-rated flame-retardant polymers upon request.
Let our team know your compliance needs (e.g., UL, CE, IEC) so we can select appropriate materials and certifications.
What is the typical lead time?
Standard models: 3–7 business days
Customized orders: 10–20 business days, depending on complexity
All products undergo full quality inspection before shipping.
