the philosophy of “Possibility”
Placing R&D and innovation at the service of its customers’ and the market needs, also means overcoming limiting conditions to make better alternatives accessible that were previously precluded. This too is the philosophy of Possibility. The explosion-proof device of the future, which Miretti is designing, is increasingly safer and, as far as possible, more agile and less cumbersome. More efficient and minimally invasive, maximum ergonomic – within reason – for every type of machine. The new explosion proof solutions will tend to be increasingly compact and naturally green, also combining fume abatement systems. The effort in Miretti is constantly oriented towards being present in the many international markets through production, commercial and workshop locations. In this way we are global and, at the same time, also local.
In the development of its Ex-protection systems, Miretti has always carefully followed the technological evolution of the automotive and aeronautics, the most advanced and driving sectors, with constant updating that encourages research and experimentation for the benefit of the Atex solutions proposed in terms of innovation.
Being able to transform the latest generation, more performing and less polluting vehicles into explosion-proof ones; create increasingly safer, more customized and less bulky protections; developing more ergonomic and less complicated equipment to use: it means offering the explosion-proof sector new opportunities to work better and new areas of development by increasing safety and efficiency.
Miretti research and experimentation are aimed at offering ever greater opportunities to end users who, even in dangerous areas with risk of explosion, will be able to have more options, choose between vehicles with different types of power supply and exploit their advantages in terms of performance.
An example of this is the considerable progress on the Ex-protections of hybrid trucks, trucks with lithium batteries, trucks powered by LPG for Atex Zone 2. The effort undertaken has been rewarded: the results obtained on lithium trucks and LPG trucks are currently still unique in the world. Since the introduction of lithium cells in the automotive world and in the industrial sector, Miretti has decided to engage in engineering and technical research dedicated to the Atex conversion of lithium vehicles, with the main objective of developing a certified, ergonomic and also customized product for machines with particular types of power supply. Miretti is also ready on the front of the latest generation internal combustion engines, with a lower polluting impact. It transforms numerous types of modern internal combustion engines of Stage V diesel trucks equipped with anti-pollution devices (DOC+DPF) in an explosion-proof manner, as required by the European regulation.
From careful and constant observation conducted in the field, innovative and alternative solutions such as CoatEx and FilterEx are born. The patented CoatEx system provides a thermal barrier between the hot surfaces of the engine and the outside atmosphere. It plays a key role in controlling heat release and limiting surface temperatures. The FilterEx is a certified compact, ergonomic, self-cleaning cooling system that reduces the temperature of the exhaust gases, extinguishes the flame and the spark and reduces pollution. All these functions are performed by a single component.
The new Miretti Atex Plugs and Sockets are ergonomic and compact solutions, easy to use and of high quality. It is an improved, highly engineered and more cost-effective product that better meets the needs of today’s explosion-proof industry, where forklift trucks are increasingly compact, with ever-shrinking spaces and very tight battery compartments. The new plugs and sockets also avoid complex and complicated extraction maneuvers by the operator. The new truck lighting systems are also part of the extensive ergonomic modernization work of the Miretti explosion-proof conversions. Compact, simple, light elements with a linear design, these systems combine protection methods (encapsulation of sparkling parts and increased safety) with great LED illuminating power.
Many solutions have been developed in the recent years.
