custom enclosures

Reduce the racket, endure the weather.
If you want to keep the weather out and the noise in, there’s really only one way to go. KOHLER® enclosures are bolstered by industrial steel or heavy duty aluminum and acoustic insulation to protect your investment and keep the noise down. In addition, we coat every unit with Power Armor™ (a textured industrial finish) for heavy-duty durability in harsh conditions. UL 2200-listed and IBC-certified packages are available. Multiple weather/sound enclosure options are available on 10- to 3250-kW generators. Hinged doors, door handles and door holders provide security, protection and easy access for service. Multiple personnel doors and removable panels offer easy access to generator control, fuel fill, fuel gauge, oil fill and battery. In addition, KOHLER eFrame enclosures, designed to house Kohler Power’s largest 2.0 through 4 MW KD Series gen-sets, have been engineered to meet the specific requirements of mission-critical applications – primarily data centers.

What Commercial Operations Require Them?

Many big businesses need to install self-operating electricity-generating systems, including switches. These automated electric systems usually power appliances requiring electricity in case of power disruption, namely, lights, elevators, personal electronic devices, and other complementary electricity-dependent systems like fire emergency systems.

Nevertheless, minor to medium-sized enterprises can also use such power backups to run their programs. Kohler industrial generators provide diverse and customizable power backup options to help firms meet their power installations, manufacturing, telecommunication and information centers, and even power plants’ needs in case of disruptions or primary grid failure.

The commercial settings that require power backup are numerous, ranging from mining, education systems, healthcare facilities, manufacturing, businesses, and military bases.

Choosing an Appropriate Generator for an Enterprise

Industrial power generators have become an integral part of any setup that depends on electricity to run its operations, so the idea of having a power backup in case of disruption is very core to business operations. The task now comes to choosing the right generator package that will handle the power needs of an institution.

Kohler industrial generators offer the particulars required before settling on a power-backup option. Some specifics include the devices that will need to be operated and how much power they will require. Therefore, having a generator is determined by meeting a company’s electric needs. When the power goes out, Kohler generators can keep businesses and hospitals running. Commercial enterprises that use them demonstrate our wide range of industrial generator applications.

Mining

The mining industry is energy-consuming and industrial generators are an essential part of the operations therein. Notably, generators provide up to 70% of the power needed in mining activities, making this a convenient target market for Kohler generators’ industrial and commercial entrepreneurs’ needs.

Education Systems

Nearly all educational institutions require some form of power backup to support continuous learning. Educational facility power needs are based on the fact that digitized learning environments require electricity to run various devices. Properly organized academic facilities have generators to pick up whenever a power outage occurs; this is needed since time is a significant resource in studies. Apart from that, the safety of students also depends on power availability and quality education, which are the most valued services from an instruction setup.

Healthcare

The medical care sector features a delicate system where many devices run exclusively on electricity. Various medical devices and methods are used daily to help diagnose, support patients’ lives, or run operations like surgeries and hospital drug management systems. Furthermore, some hospital equipment requires electricity, such as oxygen pumps, surgical lights, and patient monitors.

These electricity-dependent devices and setups make electricity a vital component of a hospital system. Otherwise, many things can go wrong in a power failure, resulting in avoidable consequences.

In hospitals, generators are universally installed to provide backup power and continuous electricity in case the central grid fails. Kohler generators’ industrial applications ensure that healthcare facilities have a whole diesel-run generator with the capacity to run integrated hospitals for at least eight hours.

Manufacturing

The basis of manufacturing is to increase the production of goods per unit of time. A network of equipment usually runs the whole production process, making it energy-consuming. Electricity, a popular energy source for industries, makes the manufacturing sector an essential industrial generator target market.

Minor power disruptions can not only lower production rates but may also result in poor production. Besides, it is necessary to realize that the production line of every manufacturing facility must be operational throughout the production period. A Kohler industrial generator will provide a reliable emergency power supply in case of blackouts and help prevent production losses.

Businesses

Electricity failure can cost commercial businesses to lose revenue if they do not have a power generator to offer backup. This interruption results in the termination of daily business ventures directly linked to a company’s productivity. Using Kohler generators for power backup options for your business enterprise will ensure such events do not occur.

Power outages are also similar to schools forming a safety hazard environment in an emergency. Additionally, installing an industrial generator to meet businesses’ power needs will prove more economical in the long run.

Telecommunication and Data Centers

With the constant shift of businesses and various enterprises to the digital platform, more and more data is shared and stored online, giving rise to telecommunication and information center service providers. For all telecommunications-attached devices to function, electricity is required to power them.

Devices like computers in cloud storage data centers, data processing centers, banks, and information technology industries need some form of interconnectedness and data storing servers to be operational. This convenience of connection and data storage powered by electricity provides an operating environment free of interruption. With a reliable power backup, such institutions do not have to worry about any data flow hiccups.

Kohler industrial generators will provide reliable power backup services to the telecommunication and data center industries. So that even after an interruption in the power supply or a power grid failure, the generators will automatically start and provide electricity.

Military

Defense is a matter of national security, and any risk to its operations proves dangerous. The defense sector requires power for various reasons, from communication to powering combat devices like satellite phones. Some of the dangers could involve power outages at the main military bases. Apart from that, remote military camps all require generators to run their operations efficiently, ensuring national safety.

Power plants

In an emergency, power generation plants may also require generators. As a result, power suppliers with diesel generators are on standby for power production. Kohler offers high-end diesel generators that have the magnitude to provide power stations with appropriate generators. The diesel generators can be used until the power fault is corrected.
