Sealed quarter-turn option for floor and ground latches in railway situations
The EMKA range of stainless steel quarter-turn catches now includes their new Program 1000 System incorporating a sealed cover. This is especially valuable for railway applications or other situations where a floor mounted latch is required and there is a need to exclude the infiltration of dirt and moisture into the latch mechanism.
The threaded cover may be used with a number of 1000 program latches which offer square, slotted, triangular, hexagon and proprietary railway key inserts. The quarter-turn latch is first installed onto the floor mounted cover plate or access panel, with the “O” ring sealed cover then fitted over it for protection and a neat flush appearance which presents a safe footing for pedestrians.

EMKA cover stay and door stop solution to wind and gravity problems
EMKA are aware that the generic problem with many doors and access panels is often that they have a large surface area − easily caught by wind and able to generate a lot of force. This makes maintenance or installation/updates a difficult problem and potentially a painful one. Similar problems exist where a door/panel is opened against gravity or perhaps is in a position where passers-by may knock it closed.
In these situations, EMKA offer a program of cover stays and door stops in a variety of configurations including manually operated locking or self-operating as the panel is opened/closed. A simple stay may be a folding type or a sliding type door stop with a moving prop. Otherwise, telescopic types offer a longer mechanical prop and so spread the loads involved over a wider range. Button release or push-click operation is available.

New specification all EPDM integral gasket and spine
A spring steel spine on a P section gasket is a simple, effective way to provide an excellent gasket function for enclosure and vehicle doors. To date this has been achieved with an EPDM bubble sealing profile attached to a PVC spring carrier, however now EMKA have developed an integral section which combines both in one EPDM moulding.
This integration provides many advantages − EPDM is itself a more dynamic material than PVC making it easier to fit while conforming to door contours and providing good temperature, UV and ozone resistance in service. At the same time, a unified moulding shows a cost benefit to installers, plus it is less hazardous in fire situations.
New integral EPDM gasket is available ex-stock from the EMKA Coventry sales warehouse where custom sections can also be discussed.
As a specialist hardware company EMKA are pleased to carry extensive stock of standard gasket profiles for enclosures, cabinets, vehicles, HVAC and similar. These extruded sections provide a simple and effective means of sealing to common IP ratings such as IP44, IP55, IP65, IP66 protecting against ingress of dust or liquids when installed face-to-face between a door and cabinet frame. Other sections install edge-to-face and yet others seal inspection windows or provide a wiping action. Paint protection and compensation of varying gap thicknesses are further important uses for gasket sections.
Profiles in EPDM, neoprene, PVC, black nitrate and natural rubber cover traditional expanded closed cell (self-adhesive) foam, through wiping blade and bubble or P type sections, with self-grip (clip-on), channel fixing and window type (with expansion insert), to more complex multi-functional and custom designs perhaps with fillers or flocked weather strips and supported sections with internal or flange structural support.

Stainless steel compression latch variant for hygiene areas and improved security
EMKA stainless steel hygiene compression latches now come with both rounded/double flat key insert and a new triangular key insert latch for improved security, which makes this quarter turn program for hygienic areas more secure against unauthorised access. The compression latch program meets hygiene standard DIN EN 1672- and DIN EN 14159 to protection level IP 65 with gaskets that meet the requirements of the FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 and VO 1395/2004.
It is notable that the compression design of these latches offers tamper and vibration resistance for most industrial installations and brings together two well-known factors - the well understood benefits of stainless steel, and the proven design/engineering technologies of EMKA, in their range of specialist latches and locks for industrial cabinets and enclosures.
EMKA expertise enables the corrosion-resistance and ultimate strength of stainless steel to be developed into the robust longevity of these locking products which therefore enable engineers to “fit-and-forget” confident that designed-for-purpose high quality designs mean that these products save time and replacements costs over their lifetime of service in hygiene, corrosion and washdown areas.
The EMKA stainless steel locks and latches program includes quarter-turns, hygiene/wash-down locks, conventional L and T handles, space-saving swinghandles and rod mechanisms, compression locks, safety locks (vibration proof with built-in cover to exclude dirt), ring handle, wing knobs, padlockable handles and heavy-duty latches.

New Emergency Hammer for buses or trains
EMKA have introduced a new advance on the traditional design of emergency hammer for breaking tempered and laminated glass, as well as insulating glass.
Emergency hammers are a familiar sight in buses or trains, where they are located ready to use and clearly visible right next to the windows. In case of an accident or emergency, they help to break the window glass to allow trapped passengers to escape. The EMKA emergency hammer is made of fibre-glass-reinforced plastic with hardened steel tip and complies with the relevant fire protection standards. The optional belt cutter is indispensable for the proper use in all vehicles with safety belts to cut straps with locked or trapped mechanisms.
This new design features a large convenient grip and is offered in three versions − two of which provide a hand protection grip. The range includes a simple holder or a security holder with extensible/retractable steel retaining cable.

Space-saving lever locking lift handles from EMKA
As major manufacturers in enclosure/cabinet hardware, EMKA are aware of the space pressures often experienced by specialist panel builders − to this end they are pleased to offer very narrow vertical lever locking handles which reduce door margins to a minimum and can operate either inside or external to the gasket sealed area, while maximising the usable door area.
The EMKA 1099 is just 20mm wide and operates a twin rod mechanism with the option to add a padlock. Where an integral cylinder lock with a pop-out lever handle is required, then their 1190 program at 32mm or 35mm wide offer attractive solutions. Likewise, their sleek 38mm wide 1390 series lift handle keeps the rod lock closure mechanism well to the outer door margin.

Edge Protectors − protect edges and people
EMKA extruded edge protectors are now offered in a wide range of sizes using spring steel spines within PVC or EPDM sheaths, so ensuring a firm grip. EMKA are also pleased to announce sections in fire grade EPDM.
Self-locking “U” sections are ideal for covering of potentially sharp metal or glass fibre edges which may otherwise present a hazard to people on furniture or equipment. Typically, shelving, doors or similar may require safety sheathing or a form of bumper protection which can be provided by these purpose-designed, ex-stock sections.
EMKA point out that edge protectors are often called for elsewhere for purely cosmetic purposes where they serve to tidy up otherwise unsightly edges or to protect cut edges from environmental factors − or from impact damage in some situations.
EMKA explain that in addition to carrying comprehensive UK stock they also offer a custom design service on their extruded section products.

Visual indication IP69K stainless steel compression latch
EMKA are always pleased to develop innovative new products for different market sectors − in this case an IP69K compression latch in stainless steel with visual status indication to suit railway and other special vehicle applications. This allows for distanced observation of the lock status − whether the lock is open or closed − by virtue of a cover which is linked to the lock. If the lock is open then the cover is held open. Due to its compact design and high weather resistance the latch can be used in many outdoor areas, such as wind power plants, tunnel construction, traffic facilities and rail vehicles.
The lid of the new EMKA compression lock is spring-mounted and snaps shut automatically only when closed. If the lock is turned by 25 degrees or more, the lid remains open at an angle of 90 degrees. A clearly visible opening indicator then appears on the inside of the lid: a red area with the EMKA logo. On trains, for example, railway personnel can see from a distance as soon as a door or flap is not completely closed.
Major features include resistance to shaking and vibration, thus preventing unintentional opening of the lock, also the lock complies with protection class IP69K and fire protection regulations. Other features include automatic flap closure with seal on the lock to protect from damage to the door.

Anti-microbial bow handle
EMKA’s new 1095-36-WI bow handle with the optional cover is designed to meet increasing hygiene regulations which require anti-microbial characteristics for use in highly frequented environments. These are situations where particular attention must be paid to potential exposure and include areas of public access, also in medical technology settings or in the food industry. Other possible uses can be found in ventilation and air conditioning installations.
Silver is a reliable and well proven biocide now introduced to the popular EMKA 1095 program during the production phase where it is mixed into the granular base. This new anti-microbial handle offers exactly the same performance and appearance as standard items in all other respects. The WI version is also black to match normal industry practice and has an optional clip on cover for enhanced aesthetic appearance as well as cleanliness and for security.
Antimicrobial plastics are ideally suited to these applications − while there is no change in the previous physical or other chemical properties there are also no restrictions on use and no special care is required for installation or aftercare, as the silver additive is fully integrated throughout the polyamide. The antibacterial effect is considered not as a substitute, but as a supplement to regular disinfection procedures, e.g. in the toilet area or on food and pharmaceutical machines.
Handles with this silver biocide inclusion have laboratory proven effectiveness according to ISO 22196 as demonstrated against E. Coli (intestinal bacteria) and Staphylococcus aureus. This is particularly critical in hospitals especially because Staphylococcus aureus can be multi-resistant to a range of antibiotics.

TOGGLE LATCHES
COMMERCIAL VEHICLE ACCESSORIES
This range builds on EMKA’s extensive program of moulded sealing profiles and custom formed gasket rings and frames with vulcanised corners − which have met a significant need within the commercial vehicle industry.
Applications include buses, coaches, earth moving equipment, military vehicles, transfer vehicles, trains, light rail, generators, trailers, trucks, glazing panels, recreational vehicles, cabins, caravans, ships and boats, special vehicles, cabinets, enclosures and general ‘industrial’ situations, as well as off-road vehicles, subways, trams, railway carriages, mobile homes, municipal vehicles, horse boxes and emergency service vehicles.
STAINLESS STEEL COMPONENTS
EMKA are increasingly finding that “everything in stainless steel” is the demand for cabinet hardware as installations find more aggressive environments and more challenging regulations.
The food processing and pharmaceutical industries have become ever more sophisticated and far reaching in their requirements and EMKA can now provide a wealth of components in stainless steel from specialist locking systems to handles and hinges. Materials vary from AISI 303 to AISI 316, including fabricated as well as fully machined items with sealing up to IP66.
