Control Panels
for Hazardous Area Industries
Fast Design & Delivery Service
Thorne & Derrick International, working with Pepperl+Fuchs, understand the complexities involved in Exd design and manufacture. 12-16 week lead times are not unfamiliar with Exd panels but we are able to work closely with our clients and supply chain and can provide custom built solutions on short lead time delivery for both UK and international projects – we can provide custom built ATEX certified panels depending upon engineering specification and factory capacity on 6 week lead times.
Ex d flameproof control panels can be customised for automation, production, process and hazardous area power distribution – we can arrange for control panel customisation with panels populated with terminals, drilled to accommodate cable glands according to zone location, gas group and international hazardous area certification requirements.
Hazardous area control panels with IP66/IP67 ingress protection and operating ambient temperature ranges of -50° to +60° are certified to Ex d and Ex tb, including intrinsically safe circuits.
Thorne & Derrick can custom design flameproof panels for protection and control of ATEX lighting, trace heating systems, and power distribution – electrical control panels for safe and reliable protection in Zone 1 and Zone 2 including indoors/outdoors, weather-exposed and corrosive environments.
To provide and protect Low Voltage Power Distribution networks from harsh environmental conditions and explosive atmospheres common to the onshore and offshore hazardous area industries please view our range of Exd enclosures for flameproof applications.
