E-PAC®
Component fixation through positive locking
Innovation led to the founding of DMTpe
The E-PAC® system is part of a unique DMTpe success story. This is a housing construction made of expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam, which embeds all the components of an appliance in a form-fit using a predefined plug-in principle. The advantages are manifold: from the reduction of components, simplified assembly and disassembly to overall lower product development costs. In addition to the straightforward creation of prototypes and the simpler realization of the industrial design, synergy effects arise in the form of improved service characteristics. This makes the E-PAC® system a competitive alternative to conventional enclosure design.
E-PAC® - An innovation from DMTpe
As can be seen from the example shown, the material used for E-PAC® is a foamed plastic. Beads made from polypropylene granulate are expanded with steam, resulting in the very lightweight plastic EPP. A housing construction can then be milled from this plastic to fix the components in the correct shape,optimally route the cables and improve the thermal properties. Our customers also benefit from quick and easy assembly and disassembly.
