Explosion Proof Wire Rope Hoist, Explosion proof & Spark Proof, Safe Rope Hoist

What is explosion proof electric wire rope hoist?

A distinctive feature of explosion proof hoist is spark resistant, including things such as bronze wheels on trolleys, bronze hooks, stainless steel wire rope to accomplish the necessary spark resistance.

Explosion proof hoist is needed in those places wherever explosive gases or dusts exist, for instance, in oil rigs, in gas liquefaction plants, in mines or in the chemical industry, and in the other branches of industry including petrochemical industries, power generation. Food and pharmaceuticals industries also need the explosion proof. All in all, this rope hoist commonly serves industries include the oil, gas, power generation, and water treatment, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries worldwide.

Explosion proof hoist is a specially designed rope hoist with the features of explosion proof. Explosion proof electric hoist is designed and manufactured according to GB3836-2000 provisions and international regulations, with the explosion proof mark of D II BT4 and D II CT4, which can be supplied to applications that has the level of II A, II B, II C grade, the temperature sub-groups T1-T4 group of combustible gas, steam and air from the explosion gas mixtures in zone 1, zone 2 areas.

Flame proof hoist can be suspended on the I-beam to lift loads doing straight line or curve movement, or installed on the fixed bracket to lift loads in vertical direction. It can also be mounted to different lifting equipment such as single or double girder overhead crane, gantry crane, jib crane and so on. We Yuantai supply this hoist for minor duty applications on overhead cranes, gantry cranes, jib cranes and monorail applications.

Degree of protection

1. Explosion proof electric hoist is mainly divided into three degree of protection ⅡA, ⅡB, ⅡC , temperature groups for T1-T4 which apply for the workplace with flammable gas or explosive gas, steam and air mixture.
2. Explosion proof electric hoist can be divided into Grade B and Grade C. Explosion proof hoist is generally applicable in zone 1 and zone 2. The applicable temperature mainly from T1-T6, if it is approaching lever T6, that means that it arrives the highest temperature limit. For example, DIICT4 stands for: D is for flameproof type, II is for class II explosion which represents factory explosion proof, C is for C-level explosion proof area which represents the most dangerous areas, T4 is for temperature class. The explosion proof electric hoist is frequently of DIICT4 level currently.

Definitions

Explosion classified areas are defined by the following classes, divisions and groups, by the National Electric Code.

Class

• Class I - Locations: Are those in which flammable gases or vapors are or may be present in the air in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or ignitable mixtures.
• Class II - Locations: Are those in which are hazardous due to the presence of combustible dust.
• Class III - Locations: Are those which are hazardous due to the presence of easily ignitable fibers or flyings, but in which such fibers or flyings are not likely to be in suspension in the air in quantities to produce ignitable mixtures.

Division

Division I - Locations in which hazardous concentrations in the air exist continuously, intermittently, or periodically under normal operating conditions.

Division II - Locations in which hazardous concentrations are handled, processed, or used but are normally within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape one in case of accidental rupture or breakdown.

• Group A - Atmospheres containing acetylene.
• Group B - Atmospheres containing hydrogen, or gases (or vapors) of equivalent hazard, such as manufactured gas.
• Group C - Atmospheres containing ethyl-ether vapors, ethylene or cyclo propane.
• Group D - Atmospheres containing gasoline, hezane, naptha, benzine, butane, alcohol, acetone, benzol, lacquer solvent vapors, or natural gas.

Group (Class II)
