Now available from Albert Jagger is a patented compression latching hinge, designed for insulated and HVAC applications. This is manufactured by its Swedish partner, Industrilas.

The versatile product can be used as a hinge or latch, allowing for left- or right-sided assembly, as well as complete removal of the door if required.

This ensures the hinge is functional for a wide range of applications, with tactile feedback during use and a 180° opening angle when applied as a hinge.

Constructed from high-quality robust materials, including polyamide, die cast zinc and stainless steel, the hinge meets standards for sealing Level 1 according to DIN EN 1886. Simple assembly and smooth opening allows for safe and effective operation when using it as a hinge or latch.

Furthermore, the new product is also available in an extensive range including non-locking, push-button, keyed and tool-operated. All hinges can be fully customised with individual logo-types upon request.

Safety has been the main priority during the design stages of the product.

The 6mm compression and decompression process ensures equalisation of pressure both inside and outside the door. Whilst maintaining a closed position, the hinge allows air to safely pass through the door and frame. This means a safe and steady opening, reducing the risk of compressed air hazardously forcing the door open. The added bonus of a built-in safety catch, plus vertical adjustment, makes it easier than ever to achieve the perfect sealed door, the company explains.

This is the latest addition to a wide range of integrated industrial products, including latching systems, hinges and sealing technology.

It combines quality, design and function to guarantee efficient performance in even the most demanding industrial environments.

Industrilas is currently certified by TUV to EN ISO 9001:2008 and EN ISO 14001:2004, with all products compliant with the RoHS Directive. According to Albert Jagger, this product is the only one of its kind on the market to date.

Serving the industrial, military, marine and construction industries, as well as scientific and medical applications with industrial hardware, Albert Jagger can, through its partnership with Industrilas, supply a versatile range of integrated enclosure hardware consisting of a wide variety of products that can be assembled in a modular system.

A full range of 3D CAD models are available for easy integration into design development, as is a comprehensive catalogue listing the full range of standard stock components.
