The Canalis BBT (Busbar Trunking) requires no maintenance due to the easy way to link all runs and at the same time, the installation is a static one.
If the busway is placed in a dirty or aggressive environment, then the maintenance will be cleaning off the dust or having a visual inspection if it was placed in a chemical area. This check is not mandatory because normally nothing happens even in very dirty spots like in the automotive industry where we have found tap-offs covered with oil. The tap-offs installation is 25 years old and still running. The most important point is taking care in which environment the busways are being installed because they can have a much quicker aging process according to the aggressiveness of the installation environment.
Please find attached a declaration of conformity stating that the Canalis offer is maintenance free. I have also attached some guidelines regarding preventative maintenance for some Canalis ranges.
