Stahlin®’s patented SolarShield HMI Covers provide the ultimate Human Machine Interface (HMI) screen protection in the harshest environments. These are the industry’s most innovative and 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.

Available in both Opaque and Clear options, Stahlin 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. The Opaque configuration provides superior protection of HMI screens from the sun, and both Opaque and the new Clear configurations provide protection from wind-blown dust, water, oils, chemicals, grease, flames, foreign objects, and other environmental conditions that cause corrosion and damage.

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

Among the many performance benefits of Stahlin SolarShield HMI Covers:

  • Simple and functional: They are easy to use! The Opaque configuration’s hinged design with supporting inner doors offers easy, hands-free viewing regardless of the angle of the sun, while the Clear configuration has the inner doors removed for excellent visibility of the HMI screen while the cover is closed.
  • Superior Protection: Maintains NEMA 4 and 4X rating when paired with a NEMA type 4 or 4X HMI device. Stahlin SolarShield HMI Covers protect HMI screens and electrical equipment from corrosion and damage due to UV (Opaque only), oils, dirt, and sand and greatly reduce equipment replacement cost.
  • Strength: Impact resistant but light-weight polycarbonate construction provides long dependable life in harsh conditions.
  • Reliable sealing featuring a robotically-applied foam-in-place seamless polyurethane gasket.
