Why Chemical Industry Needs Explosion Proof Cameras Onboard_

Why Chemical Industry Needs Explosion Proof Cameras Onboard? The chemical industry was so greatly influenced by automation in almost every aspect! Maintenance sensors and actuators help us with maintenance tasks and raise our safety, but there’s something else — security cameras! And not just any kind, these have to be explosion-proof cameras. These cameras are required to operate in hard-accessible locations where humans can’t or are prohibited to go, where lots of dangerous and flammable chemicals evaporate! That’s why you need a special kind of camera — the ones that are resistant to temperature extremes, acidic and sulfurous, and combustible environments! What Are Explosion proof cameras? Explosion proof cameras are built in such a way that their containers are suitable for explosive environments. This setup will prevent any sparks from within the camera to interact with the surrounding element and won’t start any explosions either. Often we are too negligent about electric sparks! Virtually every device we have at home emits sparks from time to time (think light switches), and it’s the same with your security cameras. Now place a camera like this in a hazardous environment filled with propane, methane, or any other flammable gas and you have a recipe for catastrophe! What you need in this situation is an Explosion Proof Camera

‍ The Features That Make Them Ideal These cameras have many benefits! They can protect your workers from disasters even in advance, they can allow full monitoring coverage of an entire process. These cameras safeguard precious elements and raw materials from getting stolen too! So let’s see some of their unique features. Ex-Proof Casing These cameras are made with durability and resistance in mind. The materials used for the casing of these are usually aluminum, stainless steel, or fiberglass of the highest quality. Made of these resistant materials, these cameras won’t be so easy to catch fire or get damaged by extreme temperatures and will provide great and clear footage in any of these situations. The casing also prevents gases and chemicals from penetrating inside and interacting with electricity! This ensures that your cameras won’t be at fault for any explosion. Explosion Proof Mounts Explosion-proof cameras don’t aren’t the only part of this rugged system and the design. The holders of our security explosion-proof cameras are made in such a way that they can hold up to 10 times the camera's weight. These mounts are bulletproof and shock resistant, and they ensure that the camera is fixed in position even if the explosion detonates near it. Tempered Glass This is another feature that the chemical industry will benefit from — Sharp Eagle’s cameras lens are made from the highest quality tempered glass. This makes the eye of the camera literally immune to scratches, physical damage, and even fire! Other than being damage-proof, the tempered glass offers a light transparency of up to 96% — you can be sure of a crystal-clear image the whole time.

The entire enclosure and lens of the camera can withstand 10000 psi of air pressure around them, which is higher than almost all explosive environments, so you can be sure that these won’t yield in the face of catastrophe! Design Principles SharpEagle’s cameras are built in such a way that these aren’t only raw and durable materials thrown on a heap. Some heavy-duty explosion-proof design principles have been followed in the making of these — a flame-proof cylindrical joint secures the casing from the inside by guiding ignitable particles into a conduit! Our cameras have also been certified in the most dangerous zones as specified by ATEX certification. Even if an explosion happens inside the camera, it will be contained within it and never released into the environment. If these features weren’t enough, let’s explore some benefits of having these in your chemical plant! Benefits To The Chemical Industry With their rugged and durable design, these cameras provide safety to humans and will keep your workers safe — your monitoring crew now has better visibility and can fire an alarm as soon as they spot something going on. They also allow you to overlook the entire manufacturing process which will definitely take some burden off from human shoulders and your surveillance crew — they won’t be needed to be on spot 24/7! The cameras also have 15 days of information storage which will give you ample time to back up any sensitive data! Our cameras can be installed literally anywhere, from rig-flow, and monkey board to sub-base rings. Apart from keeping your people safe, they will also guard your expensive equipment and assets against getting stolen! These have a night vision ability, making sure that you’ll have an overview of the situation even when it’s completely dark. Conclusion These cameras incorporate the best of both commercial cameras and industry safety gear — and at a reasonable price! It's your job to ensure maximum safety at your chemical processing plant, so be sure to get the best gear that can help you out in doing so.
