Explosion protection specialist Pyroban showed visitors to CeMAT, the "world's leading fair for intralogistics", how to "Get Active", by demonstrating how industries at risk of explosive atmospheres can optimise levels of safety and reduce the cost of their operation.
Pyroban's "Get Active" theme at CeMAT 2011, in Hannover, Germany this May, helped the international engineering company to highlight two of the explosion protection safety services it offers.
"We have a wide customer base in Germany and across Europe and CeMAT proved to be a great opportunity for us to communicate the message of 'Getting Active' with area classification and explosion protection" says Malcolm Davis, of Pyroban. "It was particularly important to show that we are gaining a strong presence in the German market, as more users switch to active explosion protection."
Getting active in area classification
Pyroban's hazardous area experts discussed area classification services that could help businesses achieve more appropriate zone designations (under ATEX* 1999/92/EC), making operations safer and, in most cases, reduce cost.
Getting active in explosion protection
For businesses with Zone 2 hazardous areas, active explosion protection systems help warn and protect an operator if there is a release of flammable material.
The new generation of active forklift conversions for Zone 2, system6000, was launched on the Pyroban stand, where experts demonstrated how businesses can benefit from specifying the latest forklift trucks with full ATEX 94/9/EC compliance and a choice of gas detection technology.
"Previously, Ex trucks could be offered with either pellistor based or infrared gas sensing systems but neither system suited all Zone 2 applications" Malcolm Davis explains. "But system6000 is a unique gas detection system as it can now be selected with both gas sensing technologies."
Pyroban also exhibited some of the latest Zone 1 and Zone 2 explosion proof forklift trucks from leading brands and highlighted the importance of maintenance and auditing of explosion proof equipment.
