RAMCO
Safety Shields for Liquid Chemicals
With the growing awareness of the importance of safety in the environment, RAMCO® Safety Shields are a natural fit in processes involving hazardous or toxic chemicals.
Not only do they provide safety features, but they also permit cost reduction. Shields contribute to worker health and safety by minimizing absenteeism due to accidents caused by contact with leaking chemicals and contain costs because there is no need to train replacement workers. Also, because they prevent sprayouts from harming personnel, shields contribute indirectly to maintaining stable health insurance rates and containing workmen’s compensation claims.
Safety shields prevent sprayouts by interposing an impregnable barrier between the chemical flowing through the piping system and the external environment. To provide this protection, safety shields must be produced from special materials that are unaffected by chemicals and can tolerate exposure to various temperatures and pressures. In the event of a leak, the escaping fluid is controlled within the shield, and the pressure is dissipated, allowing the leaking chemical to drip harmlessly to the ground.
RAMCO® manufactures an assortment of safety shields to accommodate the hundreds of liquid chemicals that are used in processing industries at varying temperatures and pressures. By selecting the appropriate shield for a specific application, virtually all situations can be safeguarded.
The RAMCO® Safety Shields are suitable exclusively for liquid chemicals, both hazardous and corrosive, as well as water and steam.
