Yarmouth Rewinds now provides a custom built facility for hazardous area certified panels and enclosures. The explosion-proof enclosure range has ATEX, IECEx, RINA, KT and GOST certifications suitable for Zone 1, 2, 21 and 22 hazardous area applications. The products are based around high quality enclosures in the increased safety, intrinsic safety and flameproof protection classes. The range provides several different options of enclosure dependant upon the project and application and specification required with a variety of sizes and materials available including stainless steel, cast alloy and glass reinforced polyester (GRP).

In addition to our custom build service we can also provide a repair and refurbishment of your existing hazardous area and safe area panels and enclosures as this sometimes can prove to be a more efficient and cost effective solution. The service includes verification and tracing of existing control panel wiring, commissioning, complete with a set of electronically produced drawings, which would reflect all upgrades or repairs. All hazardous area panels and enclosures will be repaired under our IECEx certified service facility repair license.

The enclosure came into us for a complete overhaul and recertification after being in use for a number of years. All the components including door components were removed. The enclosure was grit blasted and a 4-coat paint system was applied. All the flame paths were cleaned, measured and compared to the build standard. All female threads gauged and new door components were supplied and fitted. The unit was function tested and certificates were issued.

The alternator has come into the workshop from a platform in the North Sea with reported vibration issues which has resulted in damage to the engine, in addition to this the bearing housings of the alternator were out of tolerance and the main stator leads had chaffed through. The rotor was set up and dynamically balanced to ISO grade G1, both bearing housings re-claimed and the leads re-insulated, alternator re-assembled using new bearings, tested and returned to platform.
