Cosmetics & Pharmaceutical Manufacturing & Logistics Explosion Protection

In most cosmetics and pharmaceutical manufacturing and logistics applications as part of the process, or by accident, flammable gases or vapours could be present in the atmosphere creating a potential explosion risk.  This could be where raw materials are stored such as toluene or acetone, in the blending process areas or waste storage.

Pyroban provides a range of explosion protection services to help manage the risk and remove the sources of ignition found on mobile equipment such as lift trucks or scrubber driers:
