Explosion protection conversion
May 1st 2011 To ensure logistics firms handling
flammable materials are protecting
their staff, and to safeguard supply
chains from fire or explosion,
Pyroban has launched the new
system6000 explosion protection
system for materials handling
equipment.
"The storage and distribution of
aerosols, paints, varnishes, solvents
and a multitude of other highly
flammable material is increasingly
subcontracted to 3rd Party Logistics
businesses (3PLs)," says Malcolm
Davis, business development manager
from Pyroban Group.
system6000 is an ATEX compliant
materials handling equipment
conversion that provides safety for
forklift users in Zone 2 areas. It
prevents explosions by combining gas
detection with various explosion
protection methods such as restricted
breathing enclosures, stainless steel
cladding of forks and surface
temperature cooling to ensure the
engine, motors, brakes, electrics and
other components remain below the
auto-ignition temperatures of
flammable materials. More articles from Pyroban Ltd: |
