Armagard

Protective enclosures for computers, screens & printers

Stainless steel PC enclosures

Sealed stainless steel enclosures for a PC and 17–27 in. monitor, built to be hosed down with the rest of the line.

A smarter way to put tech on the floor

Rugged protection for the hardware you already trust.

Harsh environments usually force a bad choice: risk standard equipment and keep replacing it, or pay a premium for “industrial” hardware with older specs and proprietary parts. There’s a third option.

Consideration Unprotected standard hardware Rugged “industrial” hardware Standard hardware + Armagard
Survives washdown, dust & weather Fails early Built in Rated & independently tested
Choice of hardware & specs Any model Limited range, older specs Any compatible commercial model
Upgrading Easy Replace the whole unit Swap the tech, keep the enclosure
IT support Standard Specialist parts & drivers Your standard builds & suppliers
Cost over 10 years Repeat replacements & downtime Premium price, again at every refresh One enclosure, several hardware refreshes

We were keen to use standard PC systems because of the ease and cost of upgrade over time but had to be sure of the whole package… they have provided an excellent product which integrates well into our system.

Industries

Engineered around your environment.

Every sector breaks technology in its own way. Here’s how Armagard keeps it running in yours.

Daily sanitation without daily downtime.

Production floors are hosed down with hot water and harsh chemicals every shift. Armagard’s stainless steel NEMA 4X and IP69K enclosures put PCs, KPI screens, touchscreens and label printers right on the line — and let your sanitation crew wash them down with everything else.

Trusted by Tyson, JBS, Smithfield, Cargill, PepsiCo, Nestlé and Ruiz Foods.

Hygienic stainless steel touchscreen enclosure

Proven, not promised

Hose it down. Freeze it. Bury it in dust. It keeps working.

Anyone can call a box “waterproof.” Armagard was the first enclosure maker to have its products independently tested by a third party instead of self-certifying them — and we’ve never gone back.

Ratings, decoded

NEMA 4XWashdown & corrosive
Watertight and dust-tight against rain, splashing and hose-directed water — plus corrosion resistance for chemicals and caustic cleaning agents.
IP69KHigh-pressure steam cleaning
Tested with 176°F water at up to 1,450 psi, sprayed from just 4–6 inches at multiple angles. The toughest washdown rating there is.
NEMA 4Dusty & industrial
Protection from dust, dirt, rain and hose-directed water for factory floors, warehouses and outdoor kit.
ATEX Zone 2Potentially explosive
For areas where an explosive gas atmosphere is unlikely in normal operation — but can’t be ruled out.

How IP, NEMA & ATEX ratings work

We looked at several enclosure manufacturers, but Armagard was the only one that tested its products against jet washing. This gave us the confidence to trust Armagard when other manufacturers could only give vague assurances that they couldn’t back up.

Why Armagard

The enclosure specialists. For more than 30 years.

Our mark is a roof over a diamond — a shelter over something valuable. It’s still the job: engineer protection so good that you can put technology anywhere, and forget it’s there.

How it works

From first call to fitted — without the guesswork.

You know your operation. We know enclosures. Between us, you get protection that fits first time.

  1. 01

    Tell us the job

    What are you protecting, and what will it face? Share as much or as little as you know — working out ratings is our job.

  2. 02

    Get an engineer’s recommendation

    A product specialist matches the right enclosure, rating, mounting and options to your hardware — with a free, no-obligation quote.

  3. 03

    Prototype and refine

    Rolling out at scale? We can build working prototypes so your team can test them on the floor before you commit.

  4. 04

    Install with confidence

    Every product is backed by our guarantee and after-sales support. If anything arrives damaged or develops a fault, we replace it immediately.

Armagard responded to our initial requirement by providing a working prototype for each style of enclosure… as a result we achieved a very successful implementation, right first time on the shop floor.

Customer stories

Don’t take our word for it.

Read the case studies
  • Airport · Industrial enclosures

    “You and your team have exceeded all expectations of our customer by producing industrial enclosures not only ‘fit for purpose’ in what can only be described as a challenging and varied environment, but enclosures that look good and are functional as well.”

    Peter WebbDoha Airport

  • Manufacturing · After-sales

    “The system we have in the enclosure is extremely critical for our business… After calling Armagard we had a replacement within two days, you don’t expect that kind of service normally.”

    John AtherleyMSI Forks

  • Distributor · 10-year customer

    “They know that there are cheaper products on the market but with Armagard you know what you are going to get and the high quality is the main thing that attracts people.”

FAQ

Questions specifiers ask us.

Can’t see yours? Our specialists answer technical questions every day.

Can I use my own PC, monitor or printer inside an Armagard enclosure?

Yes — that’s the idea. Armagard enclosures are designed around standard commercial hardware, so you can specify the PCs, displays and printers your IT team already supports, then upgrade them later without replacing the enclosure. Tell us your models and we’ll confirm the fit. For label printers, our compatibility tool covers popular Zebra, SATO and Toshiba models.

What’s the difference between NEMA 4 and NEMA 4X?

Both are watertight and dust-tight, and protect against rain, splashing and hose-directed water. NEMA 4X adds corrosion resistance — essential where chemicals, salt or caustic cleaning agents are used, which is why our washdown enclosures are NEMA 4X-rated stainless steel.

Do I need an IP69K enclosure?

If your sanitation regime uses close-range, high-pressure, high-temperature water or steam, yes. The IP69K test sprays 176°F water at up to 1,450 psi from just 4–6 inches away, from several angles. For standard hose-downs, NEMA 4X or IP66 is often enough — we’ll help you choose.

How do you manage heat and cold inside a sealed enclosure?

Every design is engineered for its environment. Depending on the application, that can mean cooling or thermostatically controlled heating — our heated printer enclosures keep running at −22°F. Our plenum-chamber design helps keep seals jet-washable while holding internal temperatures stable.

Do your touchscreens work with gloves?

Yes. Our integrated touchscreen enclosures are designed for reliable use with gloved hands — essential on food lines, in cold stores and on busy shop floors.

Can you build a custom enclosure?

Absolutely. Bespoke engineering is a big part of what we do — from modifying a standard enclosure to designing something entirely new. For larger rollouts we can supply working prototypes so your team can test them on the floor first.

What guarantee and support do I get?

Every Armagard product comes with a guarantee and after-sales support. If anything arrives damaged or develops a fault, we’ll replace it immediately to minimize disruption to your operation.

Do you have a US team?

Yes. Our US sales team is based in Chicago, IL. Call +1-866-434-0807 (Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm) or email sales.us@armagard.com. Armagard enclosures are installed in more than 50 countries.
