Mechanical maintenance and repair

Maintaining and repairing mechanical systems in ATEX zones presents significant challenges. The presence of flammable gases, vapors, and dust makes conventional tools risky due to spark formation and heat generation. Safety regulations demand strict compliance, and obtaining hot work permits can cause costly delays. However, with non-sparking tools, you can perform mechanical maintenance efficiently, safely, and without unnecessary downtime.

Minimizing risks in mechanical maintenance

Did you know that mechanical failures account for a significant portion of unplanned downtime in hazardous environments? Whether you’re replacing components, removing corrosion, or cutting materials, using the wrong tools can increase the risk of explosions and fires. In ATEX zones, maintenance teams must follow strict protocols to ensure safety while keeping operations running.

The challenge: Performing mechanical maintenance in ATEX Zones

Working on pumps, valves, pipelines, and rotating equipment in ATEX zones requires specialized tools. Traditional cutting, grinding, and fastening methods can generate sparks, increasing the likelihood of ignition. Additionally, confined spaces and lack of proper ventilation make mechanical maintenance even more complex.

Common challenges:

• Sparks from grinding, cutting, or fastening creating explosion risks.
• Lengthy downtime due to hot work permit requirements.
• Corrosion and wear affecting mechanical components.
• Limited access to confined spaces and high-risk areas.
