Enclosures handle the pressure

When Precious Washers Stafford needed heavy duty, customised junction boxes to house thermostats for its hot washing machines, it turned to Spelsberg UK.

Precious Washers supplies hot and cold pressure washers, sweepers and warehouse cleaning machinery to a nationwide customer base. Its popular ALPHA hot box range converts cold water pressure washers into hot water washers which are suitable for applications where sanitisation or heavy-duty cleaning (e.g. grease removal) is required.
The ALPHA A2 trolley mounted hotbox and ALPHA HB van mounted machines both use electrically powered and diesel heated vertical boilers to quickly deploy up to 30 litres/minute of hot water for the toughest cleaning jobs. Wanting to keep operations of the machinery as simple as possible, a single switch control and thermostat is mounted within a junction box on the side of the water tank.
Spelsberg UK was first approached as a possible solution partner in January, 2024, and it was quickly clear that the two companies would work well together. As the largest ex-stock supplier of non-metallic enclosures in the UK, Spelsberg offers a range of over 4,000 standard parts to choose from. Further, the company has invested in extensive in-house customisation services to ensure OEMs can benefit from bespoke design on exceptionally short lead times.
After just a month of consultation and R&D, Spelsberg was able to make delivery of the first order of enclosures, with two different sizes identified for each of the two ALPHA hot box models. In both cases the enclosures are customised prior to delivery including pre-drilled entry points and custom lid prints to the bespoke design of Precious Washers.
