The use of electrical equipment in potentially explosive environments (hazardous areas) is subject to strict requirements, which the Impactinator® touch screens from Interelectronix for Zone 1/2 (gas) and 21/22 (dust) fully meet. They can be operated with a finger, glove or pen, are absolutely reliable and durable thanks to Impactinator® technology, yet very robust, i.e. chemically resistant, impact and scratch resistant and tested for extreme temperatures from -30°C to +70° C. Explosion protection is the reaction of flammable gases, vapours or dusts with the oxygen in the air.

The explosion is the sudden oxidation or decay reaction that produces an increase in temperature and/or pressure. Explosion hazards must be considered not only in the chemical industry and mining, but also in many areas of the processing industry.

Imagine the disaster of an explosion in your facility – lives at risk, costly equipment destroyed, and productivity halted. For industries where hazardous environments are a daily reality, ensuring safety and reliability is not just a priority but a necessity. Interelectronix understands the stakes and has channeled its extensive expertise into developing solutions that you can trust. The Impactinator® touch screens are more than just a product; they are a testament to cutting-edge technology meeting stringent safety standards. This post dives deep into why our touch screens are the perfect match for your high-risk operations.

Understanding the Hazards: Electrical Equipment in Explosive Environments

The environments classified as hazardous due to the presence of flammable gases, vapors, or dusts require specially designed and certified equipment to prevent potential explosions. The nature of these environments means that any spark or excessive heat from electrical devices can ignite an explosion. This makes it crucial for equipment used in such areas to meet rigorous safety standards.

Interelectronix’s Impactinator® touch screens are designed for Zone 1/2 (gas) and 21/22 (dust) environments, providing reliable performance even under the most challenging conditions. The zones indicate the frequency and duration of the presence of explosive atmospheres, with Zone 1/21 being more frequently hazardous than Zone 2/22.

The Impactinator® Advantage: Reliability and Robustness

What sets the Impactinator® touch screens apart is their unparalleled durability and reliability. They are engineered to withstand the harshest conditions, including extreme temperatures ranging from -30°C to +70°C. This broad temperature range ensures that the touch screens remain operational whether in freezing cold or sweltering heat.

Moreover, the Impactinator® technology ensures that these screens are chemically resistant, impact and scratch-resistant. This robustness is critical in environments where equipment is often exposed to harsh chemicals or physical impacts that could compromise their functionality. The ability to operate with a finger, glove, or pen adds to their versatility, ensuring seamless operation without compromising safety.

Explosion Protection: A Deep Dive

Explosion protection involves preventing the ignition of flammable substances. This can be achieved through various methods, including intrinsic safety, explosion-proof enclosures, and pressurized systems. The key is to ensure that any potential sources of ignition are adequately controlled or isolated.

In the case of the Impactinator® touch screens, they are designed to prevent ignition through intrinsic safety measures. This means that the electrical energy within the device is limited to a level that is insufficient to cause ignition, even in the presence of a flammable atmosphere.

Applications Across Industries

The need for explosion-proof equipment is not limited to the chemical and mining industries. Many sectors within the processing industry also deal with hazardous environments. This includes food processing, pharmaceuticals, and oil and gas, among others. Each of these industries faces unique challenges, but the common requirement is the need for reliable, durable, and safe equipment.

The Impactinator® touch screens have been tested and proven to meet the stringent requirements across these various industries. Their versatility and robustness make them a valuable addition to any operation where safety and reliability cannot be compromised.

HAZARDOUS AREAS ZONE 1/2 (GAS) AND 21/22 (DUST)

In the high-stakes world of industrial environments, safety and efficiency are paramount. As a product owner, you're constantly juggling these priorities, especially when it comes to handling hazardous areas. Whether you're dealing with potentially explosive gases or combustible dusts, the stakes are high, and the need for reliable, expert guidance is critical. Interelectronix understands the complexities you face, bringing decades of experience in developing solutions tailored to the unique challenges of hazardous environments. Our deep expertise ensures that your operations not only meet stringent safety standards but also achieve optimal performance. Let's delve into the intricacies of hazardous areas, focusing on Zones 1/2 for gas and 21/22 for dust, and explore how we can help you navigate these critical aspects of your work.

Understanding Hazardous Areas

Hazardous areas are classified into different zones based on the frequency and duration of the presence of an explosive atmosphere. In the case of gases, Zones 1 and 2 are critical classifications. Zone 1 indicates a space where an explosive gas atmosphere is likely to occur during normal operation, while Zone 2 covers areas where such atmospheres are unlikely to occur in normal operation but, if they do, will persist for a short period. Similarly, for dust, Zones 21 and 22 categorize areas with the potential for combustible dust to create explosive atmospheres under varying conditions.

The Importance of Proper Classification

Proper classification of these zones is not just a regulatory requirement; it's a vital step in ensuring safety and efficiency in your operations. Misclassification can lead to inadequate safety measures, increasing the risk of explosions and severe damage. It's not just about compliance—it's about protecting your personnel, assets, and business continuity. Interelectronix specializes in providing accurate assessments and solutions tailored to your specific needs, ensuring that your operations are both safe and compliant with international standards.

Challenges in Hazardous Areas

Operating in hazardous areas presents unique challenges, from the need for explosion-proof equipment to the strict maintenance and operational protocols.
