3. Non-Spark Plug Wrench

A Non-Spark Plug Wrench is a specialized hand tool designed for safely removing and installing spark plugs in environments where the presence of flammable gases, vapors, or dusts poses a risk of explosion. Unlike standard tools, these wrenches are made from non-ferrous, non-sparking materials such as beryllium copper or aluminum bronze, which eliminate the risk of generating sparks during mechanical contact.

These tools are essential in hazardous or explosive atmospheres such as oil refineries, chemical plants, gas processing units, mining operations, and munitions manufacturing. The wrench is typically designed with an insulated or ergonomic handle and a deep socket that securely fits over the spark plug, allowing for easy removal or tightening without damaging the plug or the engine.

Benefits of Non-Spark Plug Wrench

Explosion Risk Elimination Made from non-sparking materials, it significantly reduces the risk of igniting flammable gases, vapors, or dust in hazardous environments.

4. SEALING COLLAR –

Sealing Collars are specially designed metal rings used to effectively seal and arrest leakages from drum flanges, particularly after the reconditioning process such as burning and cleaning. These collars are applied to used drums with curled flanges, where the original flange gasket may be damaged or deteriorated due to heat exposure.

During the drum reconditioning process (burning to remove residues and cleaning for reuse), the flange gasket—typically made of a non-metallic sealing material—can burn, melt, or lose elasticity, leading to fluid or vapor leakage during reuse. The Sealing Collar provides a secondary sealing mechanism by crimping over the curled flange area, thus restoring the sealing integrity of the drum

Functionality:

• The Sealing Collar is placed over the curled flange of the drum and then mechanically crimped to ensure a tight and uniform fit.

• This crimped joint acts as a barrier against leakage, even in the absence of a functional gasket.

Key Benefits:

Prevents Leakage from Damaged Gaskets

• Provides an additional sealing layer over burnt or ineffective gaskets.

• Helps maintain drum integrity even after high-temperature cleaning processes.

Compatible with Curled Flanges

• Designed specifically for curled flange designs found on most reconditioned drums.

• Ensures a snug fit and uniform sealing around the flange area.

Enhances Safety and Compliance

• Prevents hazardous spills and emissions during transportation and storage.

• Supports regulatory compliance for reconditioned packaging, especially in chemical, paint, oil, and lubricant industries.

Reduces Environmental Impact

• Promotes reuse of metal drums, thereby minimizing industrial waste.

• Aligns with sustainable packaging and circular economy practices.
