EXPLOSION-PROOF OVERHEAD CRANES

 

A Safe and Reliable Solution for Hazardous Environments

Explosion-Proof
Overhead Crane System

Explosion-Proof Overhead Crane

Explosion-Proof Overhead Crane System

Explosion-proof overhead crane systems are specifically designed to operate safely in hazardous environments where flammable gases, vapors, or dust are present. These cranes are engineered to prevent electrical arcs or sparks that could ignite explosive atmospheres.

Key Features

Explosion-proof electrical components: motors, controls, and wiring are designed to prevent sparks and electrical discharges

Intrinsically safe design: cranes are built to prevent electrical energy from igniting flammable substances.

Specialized materials: non-sparking, corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., stainless steel, aluminum) are used.

Enhanced safety features: emergency stops, overload protection, and redundant systems.

ATEX/IECEx certification: compliance with international explosion-proof standards.

Applications

Oil and gas refineries

Chemical processing plants

Petrochemical facilities

Explosive manufacturing facilities

Hazardous material storage facilities

Benefits

Enhanced safety for personnel and equipment

Reduced risk of explosions and accidents

Compliance with regulatory requirements

Increased productivity and efficiency

Long-term reliability and durability

Components

Explosion-proof hoists (wire rope or chain)

Anti-spark crane controls

Intrinsically safe lighting

Specialized crane rails and trolleys

Explosion-proof operator cabins (optional)

Standards and Certifications

ATEX (Atmospheres Explosibles) Directive (EU)

IECEx (International Electrotechnical Commission Explosive) certification

OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) compliance

ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) standards

Installation and Maintenance

Trained technicians for installation and maintenance

Regular inspections and testing

Compliance with manufacturer guidelines

Explosion-proof overhead crane systems ensure safe and efficient material handling in hazardous environments, protecting people, equipment, and facilities from potential explosions.

Single & Double Girder Explosion-Proof Overhead Crane

A single or a double girder explosion-proof overhead crane is a type of crane designed for hazardous environments where flammable gases, vapors, or dust are present. It features a single or double girder (beam) supporting the hoist and trolley, providing efficient and safe lifting operations.

Components and Features

Explosion-proof hoist (wire rope or chain)

Anti-spark crane controls

Intrinsically safe lighting

Specialized crane rails and trolleys

Explosion-proof operator cabin (optional)

Enhanced safety features (emergency stops, overload protection)

ATEX/IECEx certification

Zones of Explosion-Proof Overhead Cranes

Explosion-proof cranes are classified into zones based on the level of explosive risk:

Zone 0

Continuous presence of explosive atmosphere.

Highest level of safety requirements.

Crane components must prevent sparks and electrical discharges at all times.

Zone 1

Frequent presence of explosive atmosphere.

High level of safety requirements.

Crane components must minimize risk of sparks and electrical discharges.

Zone 2

Occasional presence of explosive atmosphere.

Standard safety requirements

Crane components must reduce risk of sparks and electrical discharges.

Zone 21/22

Dusty environments (Zone 21: combustible dust, Zone 22: combustible dust in the air).

Specialized crane designs and materials to prevent dust accumulation and ignition.

Classification of Explosion-Proof Cranes

Gas Group IIA (Propane, Ethane), IIB (Ethylene, Hydrogen), IIC (Acetylene, Hydrogen)

Dust Group IIIA (Combustible dust), IIIB (Combustible dust in the air)

Temperature Class T1-T6 (maximum surface temperature)

Standards and Certifications

ATEX (Atmospheres Explosibles) Directive (EU)

IECEx (International Electrotechnical Commission Explosive) certification

OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) compliance

ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) standards
