Zero-spark battery handling for Zone 1/2 solvent drum and pallet racking.
A pharmaceutical API manufacturing company needed a customized flame-proof battery-operated electric stacker to operate safely inside ATEX Zone 1 / Zone 2 hazardous chemical solvent storage areas.
Standard diesel or regular electric stackers could not enter the solvent storage rooms due to explosion safety risks, causing tedious manual drum shifting.
SRE designed an encapsulated flame-proof electric stacker with sealed electrical enclosures, static-dissipative PU wheels, ergonomic tiller head, and regenerative braking.
The client passed all statutory factory safety audits and boosted chemical drum loading throughput by 65%.
"SRE custom electric stackers provided the exact flame-proof certification we required for our pharmaceutical solvent storage."
