This idea is supported by WWF, who have stated that although technology is a solution enabler it is also part of the problem. The term ‘technology’ refers to the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes and the machinery and devices developed as a result. We are currently living in a period of rapid change, where technological developments are revolu...

Aflatoxins are one of the most potent and dangerous groups of mycotoxins, produced by certain moulds such as Aspergillus Flavus and Aspergillus Parasiticus. These moulds grow in agricultural commodities such as tree nuts, peanuts, rice, corn, sorghum, wheat, millet, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, cotton seeds, chili peppers etc. and in a variety of spices. Aflatoxins are...

The article "The Definition of Intrinsically Safe" on cobic-ex.com explains the concept of intrinsic safety in the context of electrical equipment in hazardous areas. It describes 'intrinsically safe' as a design approach that limits the generation of sparks and heat to prevent ignition in explosive atmospheres. The article compares intrinsic safety to other protection m...

One of the types of flooring for which Eureka receives the most requests for advice is industrial concrete. INDUSTRIAL CONCRETE: - HOW DO YOU CLEAN A CONCRETE FLOOR? - CAN I CLEAN CONCRETE WITH A FLOOR SCRUBBER-DRYER? - ARE INDUSTRIAL AND QUARTZ CONCRETE THE SAME THING? Concrete is one of the most common materials for industrial flooring due to ease of installation, hi...

There is also the possibility that there may be static electricity build-up on individual dust particles sucked into the vacuum which is another reason why combustible dust vacuum cleaners need redundant grounding in five different ways, eliminating the possibility of any kind of explosion from the vacuum cleaner. Combustible dust vacuum cleaners, designed to remove fugi...

Static electricity (ESD) is The big issue of static electricity at production sites, particularly in winter. It explains that static electricity is a common occurrence during the winter season, causing experiences like electric shocks when touching doorknobs. The charged potential felt by the human body is typically several kilovolts (kV). However, even if the static el...

Preventing static electricity(ESD) in industrial environments is crucial, and creating an environment where static electricity does not occur is the best approach.　The bathroom serves as an example of such an environment, as it remains free from static electricity due to its high humidity. The presence of moisture prevents static electricity from accumulating on surfaces...

There are a great multitude of types and materials of car parks: outdoor car parks in asphalt or gravel, covered car parks in concrete, multi-storey parks and/or underground car parks with passages for bicycles and pedestrians… It follows that the type of dirt accumulates is very diverse and there is no single cleaning solution, which is the best possible solution everyw...

Scrubber dryers and floor buffer machines, are designed for very different primary use. To assess its efficiency and appropriateness of use, it is therefore essential to pay close attention to the objective to be pursued choosing one.

Solid waste shredder is widely used in all kinds of solid waste applications, and with the actual demand for different situations, single shaft shredder, double shaft shredder, four shaft shredder, primary shredder, and mobile shredder have been continuously developed. We make a simple introduction to single shaft shredder, helping our customers to learn more about our p...

Electrical hazards can cause electrification (or electrocution) as well as burns with serious injuries or even amputations. Working on electrical installations exposes you to the risk of an electric arc. The thermal impact of an arc depends not only on the voltage level (LV/HV) but also on the incident electrical energy (cal/cm²). Effective and appropriate personal prote...

Recent studies have confirmed that Coronavirus can be airborne and persist in the air up to 6 hours and can move from one room to the other though HVAC ducts, thus serious concerns arise regarding Indoor Air Quality and HVAC management. It's well known that one of the main source of indoor pollution are humans, introducing through their breath a large amount of VOCs, CO2...

Industry is a hazardous place and workers need protection from the dangers posed by impacts, dust, gases, fire and all the other threats they face, but employers and manufacturers of PPE have to think about more than just protection, says David Matthews, a former UK government advisor on health and safety and personal protective equipment, and now a consultant with Fire ...

Quick introduction on industries dealing with explosive risks. And a cheat sheet on ATEX zones and what equipment to use.

Engineers designing systems for industrial and factory applications are adopting functional safety design practices to reduce the risk of system failures that could result in costly damage or injury. In addition, adhering to functional safety processes can help expand a manufacturer’s market and customer base worldwide. Protecting systems’ operators from the potential...

Noise-Induced hearing loss is one of the most prevalent, but often ignored, risks in the workplace and employees must, by Law, be protected. In 2003, Directive 2003/10/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arising from physical agents (noise) was adopted. Looking aft...
