Spot repair in ATEX-zones

Carrying out spot repairs in ATEX zones comes with strict safety regulations and operational challenges. Whether addressing corrosion, coating damage, or minor structural repairs, using conventional tools can create ignition risks, requiring hot work permits and extended downtime. With non-sparking tools, you can safely perform spot repairs without disrupting production or compromising safety.

Minimize risk, maximize efficiency

Did you know that even minor surface damage in ATEX zones can lead to long-term corrosion and expensive repairs? Spot repair is a crucial maintenance practice that prevents small issues from escalating into major structural failures. However, working in ATEX environments requires precision and strict adherence to safety guidelines.

The challenge: performing spot repairs in explosive environments

Performing spot repairs in ATEX zones requires a balance between safety, efficiency, and compliance. Traditional grinding, cutting, and coating removal methods generate sparks, increasing the risk of ignition. Additionally, obtaining hot work permits leads to significant downtime, delaying maintenance schedules.

Common challenges:

• Risk of explosions due to sparks from conventional tools.
• Lengthy downtime while waiting for hot work permits.
• Inefficient surface preparation affecting coating adhesion.
• Restricted access to confined spaces and high-risk areas.
