Explosion Proof Diesel Engine Kits

We supply kits to protect diesel engines against explosions in hazardous and dangerous environments. We design, test, and build, the components needed to make engines – ranging from 15 bhp to 2,500 bhp – explosion-proof. Our clients often use these kits in upstream and downstream, oil and gas applications. Please visit our website for more details on this kit and related information.

Passive Explosion Proof Diesel Engine Kits

Our ATEX-compliant explosion-proof kids are also available for electronic and mechanical diesel engines – these passive explosion-proof kits shut down an engine if it overspeeds and uses a water-cooled gas cooler to limit surface and exhaust temperatures to pre-set limits. These kits can also be used for engines ranging from 15 bhp to 2,500 bhp. Please visit our website for more details on this kit and related information.

Active Explosion Proof Diesel Engine Kits

Our ATEX-compliant active explosion-proof diesel engine kit caters for electronic and mechanical engines operating in hazardous areas. The active explosion-proof kit comes with an exhaust gas flame trap elimination system using our special 3GP™ gas detection technology. Other features are shared across the line – automatic shut down features, surface and exhaust temperature controls, and others. Please visit our website for more details on this kit and related information.

Explosion Proof Diesel Engine Superkits

Pyroban offers a "superkit" for building explosion-proof diesel engines. This is a solution that covers every possible need and eventuality in the explosion-proof space and the product has a number of features exclusive to it in our range. Marine radiators, ex-charging and black state systems, human-machine interface controls, throttles, electronic transmission, other electronic systems, and a thermal signature reduction system, are all part of the superkit's features. Please visit our website for more details on this kit and related information.

Forklift Trucks

Please visit out website for full details.

Electric Explosion Proof Forklifts (3G Active)

Our 3G Active electric explosion-proof forklift product, using our System6000 conversion technology, is a explosion-proofing solution that combines gas detection with our standard range of explosion protection techniques. All of our systems are certified to European and regional standards. The "active" part of the system allows for the forklift truck operator to be constantly informed of the status of the operating areas – and to be instantly notified if it becomes unsafe. The product includes standards features such as explosion-proof enclosures for sparking and arcing components, surface temperature limitation, and a range of other safety features. Please visit out website for full details.

Electric Explosion Proof Forklift (3G Passive)

Our 3G Passive explosion-proof forklift product, suitable for moving hazardous materials or operating in flammable environments, come with the standard features of all of our electric forklift trucks. Explosion-proof enclosures for sparking and arcing components, surface temperature limitation, and a range of other safety features, all combine to make this a leading product that is ideal for environments where an "active" gas-detecting explosion-proof product is not available or cannot be used.
