Otter Controls Ltd are world leaders in the design, development and manufacture of components
and connector systems for the Global Domestic Appliance Market.
In 1997 Otter Controls Ltd developed and patented a sealing system known as Otter Easifix for a
new generation of 360° concealed element jugs and kettles.
The Easifix™ sealing system successfully solved many of the industrial design and assembly
issues presented by the latest 360° appliances - and has quickly established itself as an integral
part of Otter’s policy of offering reliable and top quality system solutions.
A typical Easifix system will consist of some or all of the following:
 |
 |
 |
|
 |
|
 |
| An element plate
that forms the base
of the vessel |
|
A support moulding
situated below the
element |
|
A seal with a
resilient ‘side
acting’ profile |
|
‘Details’ in the vessel
to position the
support moulding |
The Easifix system
is protected by patents world-wide, including:
- UK - GB2330064
- Europe - EP1021117
- China - 98811836.X
Otter Controls has granted licenses to key manufacturers around the world, to allow the Easifix system
