Safety Tool Allmet

Safety Tools Allmet specialises in providing ATEX-certified cold work grinding and cutting tools designed for safe and efficient maintenance in tank terminals. Their equipment is engineered to operate in explosive environments, such as ATEX gas zones 1 and 2, without the need for hot work permits, making them ideal for maintenance tasks on tanks and piping in petroleum storage facilities.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Cold Work Certification: Safety Tools Allmet’s equipment is certified for use in ATEX gas zones 1 and 2, allowing maintenance activities to proceed without shutting down operations. This capability enhances safety and operational efficiency.
• Non-Sparking Tools: The tools are designed to prevent sparks, significantly reducing the risk of igniting flammable substances present in tank terminals.
• Low Heat Generation: Operating at temperatures between 30-60°C, these tools minimize the risk of heat-induced accidents, ensuring safer maintenance procedures.
• Low Noise and Vibration Levels: With noise levels averaging 80-85 dB and vibration levels around 2.5 m/s², the tools contribute to a safer and more comfortable working environment for maintenance personnel.
• Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, including weld removal, pipe cutting, deck plate removal, and surface preparation, making them indispensable for comprehensive tank and piping maintenance.

Applications in Tank Terminals:

• Tank Maintenance: Safety Tools Allmet’s grinding and cutting solutions are ideal for spot repairs and surface preparation on storage tanks, ensuring compliance with safety standards without the need for hot work permits.
• Piping Maintenance: The tools facilitate safe cutting and grinding on pipelines, even in explosive atmospheres, allowing for efficient maintenance without operational disruptions.

Advantages Over Traditional Methods:

• Elimination of Hot Work Permits: The cold work nature of the tools removes the necessity for hot work permits, streamlining maintenance processes and reducing administrative burdens.
• Operational Continuity: Maintenance can be performed without halting terminal operations, leading to significant time and cost savings.
• Enhanced Safety Measures: The non-sparking and low-heat characteristics of the tools mitigate the risk of fires and explosions, ensuring a safer working environment.
