EMEX Control Systems has a depth of expertise and experience in the design and build of containerised motor control centres, which are custom-built for a wide range of clients across the UK. Here are some examples of recent projects that you can select to view in higher resolution.
This video, filmed at our premises EMEX Control Systems Ltd by our supplier S Jones Containers, highlights the partnership and process behind our custom containerised control systems. It’s aimed at clients across industries such as asphalt production, mining, and heavy manufacturing—anyone in need of robust, MCC and distribution solutions.
Tom, our Managing Director here at EMEX, walks through the setup and our long-standing relationship with S Jones Containers, who supply the bases we convert into a fully functional finished product. Once we have the container, we’re able to build a complete, ready-to-go switch room that can be delivered straight to site—fully wired, tested, and ready for commissioning.
The video shows a snapshot of our shop floor and wiring team at work. A standout feature is a white container housing two 450kW ABB Modular Inverters—high-powered units that generate a substantial amount of heat. To manage this, we installed a tailored cooling system using two 7kW air conditioning units, along with ducting, fans, and louvres fitted with rain protection and filters.
Also featured are a set of green containers built for an asphalt plant in London: one for the MCC, one for distribution, and one for the compressor. With limited space on-site, these containers were stacked—demonstrating our ability to design practical, modular solutions for even the most spatially constrained projects.
