X-type toughens up

摘要

Castell Safety International has developed a new X-type key exchange unit featuring a robust design. The exchange unit has been designed to be both er-gonomic and durable. The enclosure is now fully welded, of-fering increased rigidity. Newly designed locks, relocated to be rear mounted, mean that the unit has no visible fixing holes and therefore opportunities for dirt or food to be trapped are significantly reduced. This makes the unit suitable for environments such as the chemical or food and beverage industries, where dirt and food traps are a major issue. The new unit is fully compatible with previous FS lock types and has identical dimensions to Castell's X-type exchange unit, allowing it to be retrofitted to existing interlocking systems. Exchange units are typically used when a control key, having isolated the electrical supply, needs to release multiple keys to allow access to a number of areas.
