Innovator’s Cold Grinding and Cutting products are non-sparking, operate at a temperature less than 70°C, produce noise levels less than 85 dBA, and have vibrations less than 2.5 ms². This allows for safe 8-hour use each day. They do not release dangerous fumes and produce minimal dust due to the low RPM and unique teeth.
Innovator’s Ex-certified tools are used in many sectors, such as energy, oil and gas, mining, marine, and maritime.
The tools can be used for a variety of tasks including weld removal, drilling deck projects, deck plate removal, topside pipe cutting, grating removal, pinhole corrosion, bolt removal, edge smoothing, valve corrosion, stuck bolts, paint removal, topcoat removal, steel removal, and more.
By using the Steel Grinding Suitcase, jobs can be completed in half the time conventional methods would have taken, leading to significant cost savings. For example, one project saved approximately $300,000 in costs.
Yes, the equipment follows ATEX guidelines and is certified safe to use in Ex gas zones 1 and 2 (dust zones 21 and 22) without a hot work permit.
The noise level from the cutting wheel is so low that it allows for a normal conversation while cutting through a 4-inch pipe.
The tools have been reported to significantly increase work efficiency. For instance, they have been used to cut out welds attaching equipment in an area in one shift without having to shut down the facility.
They operate at a temperature less than 70°C, reducing the risk of overheating and potential accidents.
