Explosion Proof Enclosures

Critical Protection for Hazardous Environments

Many facilities will have certain areas designated as hazardous. This can be due to things like, flammable gases, vapors, dust, or fibers. In these areas a single spark can have disastrous consequences. Explosion proof enclosures are required in these areas to prevent electrical components such as plugs or switches from causing such an incident. These heavy duty enclosures are designed to contain an explosion caused by electrical components reducing the risk of large scale damage. Enclosures like these can be found in facilities like oil refineries, chemical plants, feed mills, plastic factories, and military/ammunition factories.
