In today’s fast-paced industrial environments, skid-mounted process control panels offer a compact, efficient, and ready-to-install solution for automating complex systems. These panels are pre-wired, pre-tested, and integrated onto structural skids, providing plug-and-play control for a wide range of applications.
What Are Skid-Mounted Control Panels?
A skid-mounted control panel is an electrical control unit installed on a structural frame (or skid) that includes all necessary components—wiring, instrumentation, piping, and controls—pre-assembled and tested before delivery.
Key Advantages of Skid Panels
- Modular Design – Easy to transport, install, and scale.
- Reduced Installation Time – Arrives fully assembled and tested.
- Improved Quality Control – Fabricated in a controlled environment.
- Lower Cost of Ownership – Minimizes on-site labor and downtime.
Typical Components in a Skid System
- PLC and HMI Interfaces
- Temperature and Pressure Sensors
- VFDs (Variable Frequency Drives)
- Motor Starters and Contactors
- Field I/O and Terminal Blocks
Applications of Skid-Mounted Systems
- Oil & Gas – For wellhead automation, chemical injection, and pump controls.
- Water & Wastewater – Used in filtration, disinfection, and pumping systems.
- Food & Beverage – Automates mixing, batching, and temperature regulation.
- Pharmaceutical & Chemical – Ensures precise dosing and safe material handling.
Compliance and Safety
Skid-mounted panels can be built to meet UL 508A, UL 698A, and hazardous location standards such as NFPA 496 or ISA 12.12.01, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance.
