CUTTING AND GRINDING TOOLS FOR USE IN EXPLOSIVE AND HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS

The tools and abrasives from Safety Tools Allmet are the only tools of their class in the world that do not generate Heat or Hot Sparks and are Certified by DNV in accordance to ATEX regulations.

Among the main benefits of this tools we have that grinding and cutting can be performed without the need of a Hot Work Permit, Shut-downs or Slow-downs.

There are many situations where traditional grinding and cutting tools are totally unsuitable, for instance in Potentially Explosive or Hazardous Classified Areas, you would be putting everyone’s life on the line - not to mention risking the very existence of your facility.

Habitats are one alternative, but even for minor jobs their use is time-consuming and expensive. By the time you’ve acquired the necessary Hot Work Permit, have the habitat in place, and have carried out the work -you would probably rather not have to total up the time spent, and all the costs incurred.

Safety Tools Allmet by means of TFT-PNEUMATIC offers a better way. All of our tools are classified as COLD WORK, which allows you to do the job quickly. No shutdown or slowdown in production. No need for committee work or frustrating delays.

Just get the job done. Safely. Quickly. Cheaply.

Safety tools are the only tools certified by DNV in accordance with ATEX regulations for use in potentially explosive and hazardous environments.

CHARACTERISTICS:

No Hot Sparks - eliminates danger of explosion -Creates no heat: < 70 C -No Hot Work Permit is required
Low noise: < 85dBA. Ordinary grinding is 110-125dB
Low vibration (max 3.1 ms-1), can be used for extensive periods
Increased safety, reduced time, reduced operational costs
Minimal dust - metal debris is large and dense
No sharp slinters - virtually eliminating secondary damage
Particles are concentrated in the work area, not spread to the nearby environment
No toxic gases released when grinding through polyurethane coatings
No release of hydrocarbon gases

WHAT YOU SAVE - AT A GLANCE:

No need for production shutdown or slowdown
No need for time-consuming risk evaluations
No need for Hot Work Permits
No need for Habitats with a controlled atmosphere
No need for fire guards -No delays, no waiting, no duplication of effort -Less replacement of tool heads
Safety Tools Allmet files and discs are amazingly durable
