The Polytcab® has been JPemBall‘s flagship translation booth model since 2008, periodically enhanced based on customer feedback. Our thorough understanding of polycarbonate has enabled us to offer lightweight translation booths that are very easy to assemble while fully complying with standards. Installation teams appreciate the minimal physical effort required during setup and transportation.

Due to its affordability among ‘large’ booths and its limited number of panels, it constitutes 90% of our sales. From the European Parliament to rotating European Presidencies and many other prestigious institutions, the Polytcab® 2100 is particularly prominent.

Advantages

  • Lightweight
    Lightweight

    Our translation booths are the lightest on the market. They weigh only 122 kg, making them much easier for technicians to handle and assemble.

  • CABLE PASSER BRUSHES
    CABLE PASSER BRUSHES

    We opted for brush strips to facilitate cable entries. Made of polypropylene and nylon with a thickness equal to the wall, the brush strips are very easy to use and maintain a semblance of soundproofing.

  • Edge-to-edge glazing
    Edge-to-edge glazing

    We ensured that translators benefit from excellent visibility into the room by making the windows extend from one edge to the other of the panel frame. The windows of our Polytcab® 2100 booths are perfectly soundproofed and unbreakable.

  • DOOR SILL BOTTOM
    DOOR SILL BOTTOM

    Our booths feature a 5 mm door threshold, making them easily accessible and eliminating the risk of tripping.

  • Two coat hooks provided
    Two coat hooks provided

    Very practical for the comfort of our booth users, we provide 2 removable coat hooks to be installed during the booth assembly.

  • Easy assembly
    Easy assembly

    Our booths can be assembled in seven minutes by a single technician using a Hallen N°7 wrench.

    Centering fingers serve as a guide during assembly.

    No corner posts for assembly. The panels are self-sufficient.

    These key points make them unique and have won over many customers.

  • Ultra-silent ventilation
    Ultra-silent ventilation

    The ISO 4043:2016 standard requires an air exchange rate of 41 m3 per hour. JPemBall provides a minimum air exchange of 150 m3, which is 3.7 times the required air volume.

    For optimal working conditions, having nearly silent ventilation is essential. We have ensured to meet this requirement. Indeed, our ventilators operate at 15 dB (at interpreter’s height).

    Update as of September 2023 : the ventilator has been upgraded to a more powerful one, increasing the air exchange rate from 103 to 150 m3 and maintaining the noise level at 15 dB.

  • LED Lighting
    LED Lighting

    Our booths come standard with LED strips running the entire width of the booth. The intensity is adjustable with a touch switch (ON-OFF // and from 10% to 100%).

    Placed above the work surface, they provide completely uniform illumination. Additionally, LED lighting, being heat-free, does not contribute to the interior warming of the booth during prolonged use.

    Integrated into the thickness of the roof panels, nothing protrudes inside or outside. The power supply is through the same electrical source as the ventilators.

  • Door porthole
    Door porthole

    As required by the ISO 4043:2016 standard, the doors are equipped with a small window measuring 20 x 20 cm, allowing visibility from the outside to check if an interpreter is already working inside.

Options

  • Special booth flight-case

    Outside dimensions : 2070 x 540 x 1080 mm (L x W x H).

    Empty weight : 60 kg.

    Our expertise in the manufacturing of transport crates and flight-cases allows us to offer a made-to-measure Polytcase® specifically designed for our booths.

    Perfectly tailored to your booth, the flight-cases are made-to-measure designed to transport and store them in perfect security conditions. The Polytcases® are made of honeycomb polycarbonate, making them exceptionally lightweight and easy to transport.

    We adapt to your needs : we can incorporate additional storage spaces or modify the opening upon request.

  • Three-to-four-seater extension kit

    Pursuant to ISO 4043:2016 standard, it is necessary to be able to expand translation booths to three seats (2400 x 1600 mm), or even four seats.

    Our Polytcab® 2100 booths are designed for two translators, but it is very easy to add one (or two) extension kits to accommodate three (or four) occupants. An extension kit includes : 1 standard glass panel for the left front + 1 standard solid panel for the rear + 1 specific roof panel + 1 specific shelf extension.

    Do you have an unused Polytcab® booth ? You can retrieve its glass panel and solid panel and only purchase the roof and shelf to create a three-seat booth.

  • Multi-socket integrated into the tablet

    The ISO 4043:2016 standard requires that each interpreter has access to an electrical outlet and a USB port in close proximity.

    Our Polytcab® booths can be equipped with a power strip featuring 3 universal outlets, 2 USB-A ports, and 2 USB-C ports, providing electrical power for 2 or 3 people working in the booth.

    Easy to access and suitable for all electrical devices, this power strip ensures interpreters can work in comfortable conditions.

    Multi-socket integrated into the tablet
  • Removable battery CO2 meter

    To ensure that interpreters can work in optimal comfort and safety, the CO2 level inside the booth should be visible to the occupants.

    We can provide a removable CO2 meter that easily integrates into the booth and has a four-hour battery life. It can be recharged through a USB port.

    Removable battery CO2 meter
  • Laminated glass 33.2

    The 33.2 laminated glass provides better sound insulation, but it adds weight to the booth (4 kg per glazing). Laminated glass does not shatter into small pieces but retains its shape due to the bonding.

  • Connectors

    The booth  is fitted as standard with 3.5 JACK plugs, which can be replaced by POWERCON plugs or XLRs.

    Connectors
  • Colours

    To customize your booths (making them more recognizable, aligning with your company’s branding, blending into a specific environment, etc.), we can apply a colored adhesive film during the manufacturing process.

    A wide range of finishes is available : wood imitation, stone, leather, etc.

    Colours
  • Version 2100-H

    The 2100-H version allows for the replacement of the standard door with an ‘disabled’ type door with a width of 90 cm (instead of the standard 72 cm).

    However, the door’s location will be fixed and must be defined during the booth’s manufacturing.

    Version 2100-H
  • Painted profiles

    All aluminum profiles can be customized with an epoxy paint (RAL reference), baked in an oven, to match the specific color of the panels or a decor, while retaining high impact resistance.

    Painted profiles
  • Floor joints

    5 mm EPDM or rigid PVC rubber gaskets, adhered to the floor profile, prevent potential scratches on parquet/tiles. This makes it impossible to slide the booth once assembled.

Acoustic Soundproofing

Our Polytcab® booths comply with the ISO 4043:2016 standard by offering soundproofing levels exceeding the required prerequisites. Below are two graphs representing the acoustic performance of our booths compared to the standard.
