Pentair to Debut New Innovative Modular Enclosure and Certified ModCenter Capabilities at Rockwell Automation Fair

ANOKA—November 12, 2015– Pentair will exhibit its newest Hoffman branded products at the 2015 Rockwell Automotive Fair, to be held November 18 and 19, at McCormick Place West, Chicago, Ill. Pentair’s Hoffman brand will be located at booth 1361, where visitors can view new products and learn how the company’s enclosure, cooling and modification solutions can help improve application performance and efficiency. “We are very excited to unveil the Hoffman brand’s new PROLINE G2 at Rockwell’s Automation Fair,” said Christina Wisler, Director of Product Management, Pentair Equipment Protection. “PROLINE G2 offers superior performance and product innovation which can help our customers save time and money.” PROLINE G2 features an innovative modular design which offers the following benefits:

• Better interior access with removable doors, tops, sides and bases. • Improved mounting options that include multiple subpanels, rack mounting, swing-out panels or racks, grid

system mounting. • Is designed to join enclosures without field modification and is easier to move and ship large systems. • Allows hundreds of components and accessories to be used to create unique plug and play solutions.

“Additionally, we are also excited to announce the introduction of Hoffman ERIFLEX FLEXIBAR as a flexible busbar wire replacement solution for low voltage applications,” said Matt Behrns, Director of Global Marketing. “ERIFLEX FLEXIBAR vastly improves design and assembly flexibility and the aesthetic of finished panels while reducing the size and weight of the enclosure.” All ERIFLEX FLEXIBAR cross sections can be bent, folded, or twisted with a very small bending radius for shorter and more compact power connections between main power and distribution equipment, between transformers and busduct, between busduct and electrical cabinets, and many other types of connections. The Hoffman brand will also showcase HY-SHED, a new hygienic enclosure that is IP69K rated with replaceable gasket. HY-SHED survives high pressure washdown environments and is easy to clean for food and beverage applications Finally, Hoffman will also feature its Steinhauer ModCenter enclosure machining center and other related

equipment. “The ModCenter is designed to incorporate up to 21 precision machining tools and automates all the

drilling, tapping, milling and processing steps required for enclosure modifications—significantly reducing labor-

intensive manual work and increasing overall productivity,” said Rick Maday, Marketing Manager.
