Flange Pre-Treatment in ATEX Zones
Preparing flanges for inspection, coating, or maintenance work in explosive environments? Traditional methods like grinding or blasting pose serious safety risks. With Safety Tools Allmet, you can mechanically prepare flanges – thoroughly and safely – without generating sparks, dust, or shutdowns.
Our ATEX-certified tools are specifically designed to deliver reliable surface preparation, even in hard-to-reach places and hazardous gas zones.
Hard-to-reach flanges? We’ve got the right tools
Flanges are often located in tight or awkward positions – near corners, inside pipe racks, or close to sensitive equipment. That’s where our specialized tools come in. Whether you need compact grinding files or flexible discs, we offer a wide range of spark-free solutions that give you full access without compromising safety.
Ideal for:
- Removing corrosion of contaminants
- Surface roughening before coating application
- Cleaning flanges for inspection or refurbischment
Fully ATEX-certified and compatible with multiple materials
All our grinding and cutting tools are ATEX certified for use in gas zones 1 and 2. You can confidently work in oil & gas facilities, chemical plants, offshore platforms, or storage tanks – even while systems remain live.
