Ex Solutions For Food Processing & Package Machines

Grain silos store food industry products either in a store or somewhere in or outside of a building. Loading operations are normally operated by mechanical means such as pipes, conveyor belts, augers, etc through loading inlets placed in the upper part of the silo tower. Products can be collected after storage by unloading hatchback door and are transported by means of pneumatic or manual conveying systems.

It is important to remember that food industry products consist of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, oxygen, etc..  They are able to combust and start fires and explosions so precautions need to be taken.

In any case, even if the grains have higher dimensions, it must considered that the solid parts generate normally dust. It should be always kept in mind the rule saying that dusts generate finer dust. Obviously, the presence of combustible dust always involves, if triggered, danger of explosion.

Food Processing & Package Machines Applications

• Exploration and production
• Transportation, storage and partial processing of crude oil and gas from the wellheads to the refining plants
• Processing and delivery of finished carbon related product to the end-user

ELECTRICAL PLUGS & SOCKET-OUTLETS

Industrial Standards

In this Blog Marechal discuss different global standards suitable for their ranges of electrical equipment including industrial electrical plugs and socket-outlets, the DECONTACTOR to the industrial connectors.

The range of Marechal plugs and sockets are available in a range of current ratings, switching capabilities, voltage supply and hazardous area certifications (according to ATEX & IECEx) for safe use in potentially explosive atmospheres – this includes oil, gas and petrochem industries.

European Directives

The European texts aim to align the laws of the Member States to facilitate the movement of products while ensuring the protection of persons and property. All products put on the market must be consistent with the guidelines applicable to them and carry the CE mark.

For the power sockets designed to be used in potentially explosive atmospheres, the applicable Directive is the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU.

For power sockets for industrial uses, the Directive applicable is the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) N°2014/35/ EU.

The LVD lays down essential safety requirements: “ Equipment may only be put on the market if it is built in accordance with the rules of good practice, and if when installed and maintained properly and used for the purpose intended it does not compromise the safety of persons, or domestic animals or property ”.

The Directive requires manufacturers to:

• Design and manufacture a product that complies with the safety requirements of the Directive (when equipment complies with the requirements of a product standard, it receives only a presumption of compliance with the essential safety requirements) ;
• Follow the procedure of evaluation and then of attestation of this compliance;
• Gather all the elements of the design and evaluation of this compliance in “Technical Documentation”;
• Manufacture appliances within the framework of a system of internal inspection of the manufacture, in order to ensure their conformity to the Technical Documentation, even when bought-in products and/or external services are used.

All MARECHAL® appliances are consistent with the LVD and are manufactured within the framework of an ISO 9001 quality control system.

15kW AEU1 Hazardous Area Heaters

Thorne & Derrick are specialist Hazardous Area Electrical Heating Equipment Distributors – we distribute Flameproof, Explosion Proof and Intrinsically Safe equipment for Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22 hazardous area heating.

Hazloc’s AEU1 Explosion Proof Air Heater is the most extensively specified hazardous area electrical air heating product to provide reliable and safe heating on offshore vessels including drill ships, jack-up vessels, semi-submersible vessels, offshore barges and floating platforms.

The short video below is one of two 15kW AEU1 hazardous area heaters by Hazloc Heaters with a factory built-in electronic room thermostat at our functional operation test station.

During the 25 minute factory test, we ensure the heater meets all required performance specifications. These tests include voltage, amperage, dielectric strength , surface temperatures, auto high limit trip and reset temperatures as well as room thermostat functionality.

These heaters were just built for Torm A/S for use onboard their oil and chemical tankers (Torm Eric and Torm Resilience) where they will provide heat to the ballast water treatment system deckhouse installed on the main deck.

All the equipment inside the deckhouse must be minimum apparatus class IIB and temperature class T4 due to the cargo’s onboard the vessels.

The heater is used during the winter time where the fresh water and seawater pipes will freeze if the compartment is not heated.

Torm A/S has selected Hazloc Heaters to be used on 14 of their current vessels so far.
