Hazardous Location Doors for Explosion Sensitive Environments

Facilities that handle flammable liquids, gases, or combustible dust face the unique challenge of keeping operations moving without introducing a source of ignition. Rytec high-performance doors address hazardous locations under the North American NEC/NFPA 70 standard to meet Class I and Class II requirements.

  • For Class I (flammable liquids and gases) environments such as refineries, chemical plants, pharmaceutical and ethanol facilities

  • For Class II (combustible dust) environments such as grain, nut, coal/carbon, wood and polymer processing facilities

  • Specialized components available on select Rytec models including Fast-Seal®, PredaDoor® NXT® and Spiral® rigid rolling doors

Are Your Doors Meant for Hazardous Locations?

Explosion-sensitive environments need specially designed equipment to reduce the risk of accidents and to protect people, products, and materials by eliminating electrical sparks, arcing, heat, and static discharge.

What makes these doors suitable for hazardous areas:

  • Intrinsically safe components such as specially designed bottom bar, electronics and enclosures, etc.

  • Intrinsically safe activators such as pull cords, push buttons, motion sensors and photo eyes

Rytec manufactures high-performance doors specifically for these sensitive environments, combining speed and durability with specialty components.
