How much do you know about the explosion-proof performance of explosion-proof electric forklifts
The electric forklifts used in some flammable and explosive places such as chemical plants, refineries, and flour mills are different from traditional electric forklifts. This difference mainly comes from the explosion-proof performance of electric forklifts. So, what processes are used to obtain the explosion-proof performance of explosion-proof electric forklifts?
Firstly, the most basic explosion-proof method for electric hoists is material explosion-proof. This is similar to explosion-proof equipment such as explosion-proof chain hoists, which mainly obtain explosion-proof performance by eliminating mechanical sparks. Generally, copper alloy material is used, and most manufacturers choose to make the fork part of the cargo into copper alloy material because it is the lifting part that needs to be frequently in contact with different moving targets.
Then it comes to the handling of the circuit. As it involves electric drive, relying solely on copper alloy explosion-proof is far from enough. Electric motors also generate sparks during rotation, so these areas need to be isolated and protected with full shielding. Some use AC motors because they do not have sparks during operation, so they are relatively safe.
This is the explosion-proof treatment of electric forklifts. With the help of explosion-proof electric forklifts, the handling work in flammable and explosive places such as chemical plants and refineries has become safer.
