Sofamel

Sofamel S.L. is a Spanish company dedicated to the production of electrical material
of connection, as well as safety and electric protection material

Sofamel’s main objective has been to reach a high degree of specialization with the aim of providing a global solution for our clients. The same backed up by strict quality standards and by important investments in machinery and design for the manufacturing of all those products that our factory produces. This has allowed us to offer one of the most extensive ranges of articles that exists on the market.
 

Our commitment with excellent quality work allows our company to own the quality management system certificate under standard UNE-EN ISO 9001:2015 and R+D+i certificate under standard UNE 166002:2006, both duly granted by the Spanish Association for Standardization and Certification (AENOR).

Our principles, in which we trust, are the philosophal stone
that brought Sofamel to be one of the top leader manufacturers
all over the worl in Safety and Connection material.

Such ideas and feelings inspire a special business manner.

THE WORK WELL DONE

The R & D department of Sofamel
always in constant evolution
 

The SOFAMEL laboratory offers its clients the possibility of providing fast response to growing demands in relation to performing tests and developing new products. The investment policy for new equipment, technically qualified personnel and calibrations grants us autonomy and dynamism in order to meet our clients’ requirements.
 

In addition, our R&D+i process Management system is certified by AENOR, based on the UNE 166002 standard.
 

A LABORATORY EQUIPPED
WITH PUNTA TECHNOLOGY

1.Test for verifying dielectric rigidity of an insulating element

Which is part of some of our products. Thanks to this, we can determine, for example: the test voltage, working voltage, perforation voltage, test for checking the ground leakage, etc…

We check the insulating characteristics of products such as: dielectric carpets, benches, vinyl materials, insulating poles, gloves, etc… All of which are essential products for guaranteeing the worker’s protection during tasks involving electric hazards.
 

2.Electric resistance check tests

For example to verify correct assembly and good state of preservation of the Earthed and short-circuit equipment units.
 

3.Electric ageing test on connection products

By means of automated heating/cooling circuit, based on IEC 61238 standard.
 

4.Resistance test for detecting deterioration and corrosion in SALINE MIST

Useful for assessing the quality and uniformity of protection coverings.
 

5.Resistance test for detecting resistance to fire and smoke emission of materials with flame retardant elements

Called Glow wire test.

 

6.Tests for determining voltage thresholds in our Voltage Detectors

Thanks to our High voltage transformer.
 

7.Mechanical traction/compression tests

Using our horizontal Dynamometer for determining breaking loads, elongation, deformation levels, etc… of materials.

 

8.Load bearing and stability capacity tests

For examples in insulating Benches.
 

9.Flexion and torsion tests on insulating poles
 

10.Glove re-testing cabin
 

OUR TEST EQUIPMENT

For performing all of these tests and other specific ones which our clients may requires, as well as for developing new products, we have equipment such as:
 

• Dielectric rigidity testers
• High voltage transformer
• Saline mist chamber
• Horizontal dynamometer
• Dynamometric keys
• Oscilloscopes
• Equipment for Glow Wire Test
• Equipment for simulating thermal ageing of connections
• Resistance Tester for Earthed Equipment
• Fatigue Tester for Earthed Equipment.
• As well as specific computer programmes for 3D design for developing new products
  which constantly innovate in the field of electrical and connection-related safety.
