Explosion Protection for
Logistics & Material Handling sector
could be explosive environments!
The Atex explosion proof conversion of forklift trucks and industrial equipment is necessary in environments where these equipments can become a triggering factor for explosions, due to substances in the air.
Where material handling concerns flammable gases, vapors or liquids, combustible/conductive powders, there is always a potential explosion risk, where the material is stored, or when it is loaded/unloaded for transport.
In certain product sectors, industrial equipment and mobile vehicles (in general) may need to operate in production areas and warehouses where there are inflammable materials in the form of gas, vapor or mist or in the presence of combustible dusts. The mix of such substances, in certain concentrations, may create an explosive atmosphere and spread through the inflammable mix, if ignition occurs.
Miretti Group can provide, in particular:
- Explosion protection for trucks (forklift trucks, pallet trucks, etc.) and mobile vehicles in general
- Explosion protection for special vehicles, earthmoving machines, cranes, aerial platforms, access platforms, tractors, dumpers, wheel loaders etc.
- Atex and Ex Components (electrical and diesel equipment, kits, enclosures)
- Safety systems for non-formally classified areas (gas checker / gas detection system for non-classified areas)
Miretti can also provide Exhaust Cleaning Solutions reducing pollutants for mobile vehicles and off-road machines: After Treatment Systems DPF, Ecological Anti-Particulate Kits, Oxy Catalysts for different range of engine powers, SCR DeNOx Systems for NOx reduction in diesel stage V vehicles too.
are mandatory
A forklift truck or industrial equipment could be a potential source of ignition. So, it must be explosion proof protected.
Therefore, logistics companies must be aware of the ATEX and Explosion Proof directives when handling flammable materials and take appropriate measures to avoid the risk of explosions and remove any sources of ignition on mobile equipment.
