ERGOSTYLE® by ELESA
ERGONOMY AND DESIGN AT THEIR BEST

Conceived for a broad spectrum of applications, typical of new market segments, ERGOSTYLE® elements are destined for hospital and medical equipment and laboratory fittings, office furnishings, leisure and sporting equipment, and, generally, wherever aesthetics and user-friendliness are key requirements for the market success of a product. A basic feature of the new elements, besides a perfect ergonomic function, is that of adding to the quality and value of the equipment for which they have been designed, by fully blending with it. All products in the ERGOSTYLE® range are marked by five small dots. They stand for the five letters in ELESA’s name, an almost imperceptible signature, not to interfere with the brand identify of the product on which it fits.

Be sure to look for them:
a small unobtrusive mark, making a world of difference.

INOX-Stainless Steel

The high resistance to corrosion of stainless steel makes it one of the most demanded materials in many industrial sectors. ELESA offers a wide range of plastic items with AISI 303, AISI 304 and AISI 316 stainless steel insert or completely made out of AISI stainless steel: handwheels, knobs, handles, positioning and control elements, accessories for hydraulic systems, levelling elements and hinges which guarantee the best performance in sectors which require, by law, stainless steel elements.

Designed for:

• Food processing
  
• Chemical
  
• Pharmaceutical
  
• In compliance with the most rigorous hygienic laws

Soft-touch - For a safer grip

Lobe shaped or fluted grip knobs together with two-volume or knurled handles represent the "SOFT" line.Commonly know as Soft-touch, these new elements have been developed by ELESA's R&D department for use on machinery and equipment requiring frequent tightening, or for applications subject to severe stress. The major characteristics of "SOFT" products are to ensure a safer and more stable ergonomic grip and to improve the comfort of the operator's hand, increasing adherence to the element and absorbing vibrations even in unfavourable environmental conditions such as humidity, aridity, heat, cold and grease.

Designed for:

• Disability aids
  
• High-precision instruments
  
• Fitness machines
  
• Gardening and unfavourable climatic conditions

ATEX - Oil level sight glasses for special applications

Elesa+Ganter’s extensive range of oil level sight glasses also provides solutions for highly demanding requirements, for instance high temperatures, high pressure loads or aggressive substances. The most recent development is an ATEX sight glass for use in explosion hazard atmospheres.

Designed for:

• Industrial products such as gears, used in applications where the components must comply with ATEX guidelines

Clean line - White against the dirt

Industrial handles, lobe and knurled knobs in RAL 9002 white colour with glossy finish to make cleaning operations easier. AISI 303 stainless steel metal inserts in compliance with the most rigorous sanitary laws. Compact shape and lack of cavities to avoid any deposit of dirt, dust and machining residues. These are the major functional characteristics of ELESA CLEAN line in addition to a modern design and high performance.

Designed for:

• Medical and hospital equipment
  
• Operating rooms
  
• Hospital fittings

San - Antimicrobial Protection

The products of the ELESA SAN LINE stop the deposit of any undesired organisms such as microbes, bacteria, mildew and fungi which are the major causes of unpleasant odours, discoloration, degradation and the formation of biofilm on surfaces and prevent them from reproducing. Hence a hygienic and precautionary action is guaranteed even after several cleaning cycles at high temperatures with soap and solvents in the long term. A special technopolymer including antimicrobial additives - a mixture of silver ions on an inorganic ceramic base - chemical free without any antibiotic drugs or pesticides which may be released on the operator’s hands.

Antimicrobial action

• When a microbe ingests silver ions they destroy cell walls thereby killing the microbe.
  
• Silver ions bind microbe cell walls thus preventing cellular "respiration", causing lysis of the microbe.

Designed for:

• Medical and hospital equipment
  
• Disability aids
  
• Machines for the food processing and pharmaceutical industry
  
• Equipment for catering services
  
• Urban and public fittings

ESD line - Antistatic action

The special conductive technopolymer (ESD-C Electrostatic Discharge Conductive) prevents the transfer of electrostatic discharge between bodies with different electric potential. The new antistatic elements line is suitable for ESD PROTECTED AREAS (EPA) where components which are susceptible to electrostatic discharges are to be handled with the minimum risk of damage. The printed mark ESD-C on the surface of every single element identifies the particular antistatic feature according to EN 100015/1 and IEC 61340-5-1.

Designed for:

• Assembly lines for electronic components
  
• ESD-Protected Area (EPA)

AE-V0 line

Elements in self-extinguish special technopolymer for use in public environments where flame-proof materials are required.

Designed for:

• Urban and public fittings
  
• Equipment for the lighting sector
