In the processing, use, loading and unloading and storage operations of flammable and explosive dangerous goods in petroleum, chemical, textile, pharmaceutical, paper, and paint industries, forklift trucks are also used most widely, including transporting raw materials to processing sites and converting finished products. Transportation to storage and transportation sites and loading of dangerous goods onto transport vehicles.
Occasionally, during these processes, some operational accidents occur. For example, the goods are accidentally dropped or punctured from the forks, and the forklift hits the piled goods, pipelines or other equipment, causing flammable substances to leak and evaporate. And proliferation. In addition, the leakage, evaporation and diffusion of flammable substances during normal processing (such as filling, discharging, and crushing of materials) are inevitable. These flammable substances, once mixed with air, form an explosive mixture. When the concentration reaches the explosion limit and sufficient ignition energy is encountered, it will cause combustion or explosion.
When the forklift is operating in this environment, its potential danger may occur at any time if it is not explosion protected because of its presence of high temperature surfaces, high temperature exhaust, exhaust sparks, arcs, sparks, and static electricity.
How to improve the efficiency of material handling in explosive hazardous locations and ensure the safety of the operation. The choice of using explosion-proof forklifts is the best way to solve this problem.
