AttaBox® Enclosures –- the world’s most specified polycarbonate and non-metallic electrical and industrial enclosures — introduces AttaBox SolarShield™ HMI Covers, providing the ultimate HMI screen protection in the harshest of environments.

New, patent-pending AttaBox SolarShield HMI Covers offer the most innovative, durable, non-metallic HMI Covers for use with all enclosure material types. They are ideal for protecting HMI Screens from UV and harsh environmental conditions and are the industry’s only non-metallic HMI covers with side shields.

AttaBox SolarShield HMI Covers are ideal for demanding applications in non-hazardous industrial and commercial markets including industries such as oil and gas, equipment manufacturing, industrial machines, water/wastewater, marine, and food and beverage.

Extremely tough and durable, AttaBox SolarShield HMI Covers can be used in both outdoor and indoor applications. They provide superior

protection of the Human Machine Interface (HMI) screens from the sun, dust, water (rain, sleet, snow), sand, flames, oils, chemicals, grease, dirt, foreign objects, and other environmental conditions that cause corrosion and damage.

AttaBox SolarShield HMI Covers fit standard 10” x 8” and smaller HMI screens and maintain a NEMA 4X rating of enclosure and screen when paired with a NEMA 4X HMI device. These universal covers can be used with either non-metallic or metallic enclosures.
