FLP Panel (Flameproof / Explosion-Proof Control & Distribution System)

Engineered for Uncompromising Safety in Hazardous Environments

In hazardous industrial environments where the presence of flammable gases, vapors, dusts, or fibers poses a significant risk, safety is paramount. Our FLP (Flameproof / Explosion-Proof) Panels are meticulously engineered to provide uncompromising electrical control and distribution solutions, ensuring operational safety and regulatory compliance in the most demanding conditions.

Designed to prevent the ignition of explosive atmospheres, our FLP Panels are robust, reliable, and customizable, offering peace of mind where safety cannot be compromised.

Key Features:

• Robust Flameproof Enclosure: Constructed from heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant materials such as cast aluminum alloy (LM6) or marine-grade stainless steel (304/316L). Designed and tested to withstand internal explosions and prevent flame propagation to the external atmosphere.
• Certified Internal Components: Houses a comprehensive range of pre-wired and certified electrical components including MCBs, MCCBs, contactors, relays, timers, power supplies, terminal blocks, indicating lamps, push buttons, selector switches, and meters – all individually rated for hazardous area applications.
• Precision Machined Joints: Engineered with exact tolerance, flame-quenching gaps (flame paths) at all joints (doors, covers, conduit entries) to cool hot gases below their ignition temperature before they can exit the enclosure.
• High-Integrity Sealing: Equipped with durable, weather-resistant gaskets (e.g., neoprene, silicone, EPDM) to ensure an Ingress Protection (IP) rating of IP55, IP65, or IP66, safeguarding against dust, water jets, and corrosive agents.
• Certified Cable Entries: Supplied with a variety of certified flameproof cable glands (Ex 'd') suitable for armored, unarmored, and specialized cables, ensuring secure, sealed, and safe cable termination points (NPT, Metric threads available).
• External Controls & Indicators: Option for externally operable flameproof push buttons, selector switches, emergency stops, and LED indicators for safe control and monitoring without opening the enclosure.
• Viewing Window (Optional): Toughened borosilicate glass window available for safe visual inspection of internal components, meters, and readouts without compromising the flameproof integrity.
• Modular & Customizable Design: Available in various sizes and configurations (e.g., motor starter, distribution board, control station, junction box) to suit specific control, distribution, or monitoring requirements. Fully customizable based on customer schematic diagrams and specifications.
• Corrosion & Weather Resistance: Designed for long-term reliability and minimal maintenance in harsh industrial environments, including high humidity, extreme temperatures, and chemical exposure.
• Easy Access & Maintenance: Hinged door with robust locking mechanisms and specialized fasteners for secure yet accessible maintenance (when de-energized and safe to open).
• Mounting Options: Suitable for wall mounting, skid mounting, or floor standing configurations.

Benefits You Can Rely On:

• Uncompromised Safety: Eliminates the risk of igniting explosive atmospheres, protecting personnel, critical assets, and the environment.
• Regulatory Compliance: Ensures strict adherence to international and national hazardous area classifications and standards (e.g., ATEX, IECEx, IS/IEC), simplifying certification processes.
• Maximum Uptime: Robust construction, high-quality components, and superior engineering minimize downtime and reduce maintenance requirements.
• Tailored Solutions: Custom configurations mean you get a panel precisely designed for your specific process needs, optimizing performance and integration.
• Durability in Harsh Conditions: Built to withstand corrosive chemicals, extreme temperatures, mechanical stress, and vibration, extending product lifespan and reducing replacement costs.
• Peace of Mind: Operate with confidence knowing your critical electrical systems are housed in the safest possible enclosure, backed by expert design and rigorous testing.
