In an era dominated by emails, Zoom calls, and polished boardroom presentations, Ratner is taking a different road, literally. He’s stepping away from the Zoom calls and heading out onto the open road, meeting customers face-to-face the way business used to be done. Recently completing a 14-day tour across Texas in a fully equipped RV, Ratner brought his company directly to the front lines of the gas and oil industries.

This isn’t just a throwback to relationship driven sales, he has put a modern twist on it. He’s documenting the entire journey through a fast-growing reality series on YouTube called, “On Site and Off Grid.”

Mr. Ratner stated, “What started as a creative way to showcase a unique sales approach has quickly taken on a life of its own.” With hundreds of viewers tuning in daily, the audience extends far beyond the industry itself. The show has quietly evolved into a cult favorite online, offering an unfiltered look at the people, places, and challenges that keep critical infrastructure running every day while also revealing the real struggles and resilience of a small, family-owned manufacturing business.

At its core, the series shines a light on an often overlooked workforce. The men and women working in refineries, plants, and facilities across the country rarely get recognition. Ratner’s show puts a face to that world, humanizing an industry that most people never see, but everyone depends on.

This dual approach of combining boots-on-the-ground relationship building with digital storytelling is what makes the strategy so unique. While many companies chase clicks and impressions, East Hills Instruments is building something deeper: trust, visibility, and authenticity.

And it’s paying off.

Mr. Ratner says, “Customers aren’t just watching but they’re engaging.” Prospects who may have once been unreachable through traditional channels are now reaching out after seeing the show. Conversations are warmer. Doors are opening faster. The line between marketing and relationship-building has begun to blur in a way that feels both natural and powerful.

At the same time, the show reinforces what truly differentiates East Hills Instruments: its products and its people. The company’s Magnum Pro Calibration Pumps have earned a reputation for being virtually indestructible and capable of withstand the harsh environment they are used. Paired with the patented technology behind its Winchester Engineering auto-ranging digital gauge, the combination delivers precision, durability, and innovation in a way few competitors can match.

It’s this pairing of powerful, authentic marketing on one side and superior, battle-tested equipment on the other that sets the company apart.

Ratner’s got the winning combination.

There’s also an underlying message that’s hard to ignore. In a business climate where automation and digital outreach dominate, Ratner is proving that there’s still immense value in showing up. Shaking hands. Looking customers in the eye. Understanding their environment firsthand.

From boardrooms to back roads, this approach challenges conventional thinking. It suggests that the future of marketing may not be about choosing between digital or traditional—but blending both in a way that feels real.

And perhaps that’s why “On Site and Off Grid” is connecting so strongly.

Because beyond the RV, the road trips, and the sales calls, it’s not just a marketing campaign it’s a reminder that business, at its best, is still human.

The Engineering Equipment and Materials Users Association (EEMUA) has written to the UK Government and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to raise concerns about the ongoing review of the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 (PSSR) under the Government’s Regulatory Action Plan.

In a letter sent to the sponsoring Minister of State with primary oversight of the HSE and the Chief Executive of the HSE, the Association, which represents many of the UK’s largest industrial operators across the power, chemical and petrochemical sectors, is seeking confirmation that its evidence has been considered as part of the regulatory review.

EEMUA highlights that major UK operators continue to identify shortcomings in the current regulatory framework, particularly around the recognition of modern inspection methodologies and the operational realities of complex industrial sites. According to the Association, these shortcomings risk limiting the UK’s ability to reduce administrative burden, adopt technology‑driven inspection approaches, and strengthen industrial competitiveness without compromising safety.

The letter draws attention to three priority areas for modernisation:

• Greater alignment with risk‑based inspection (RBI) to reduce unnecessary invasive examinations and improve plant availability.
• Reform of the 28‑day reporting requirement, which EEMUA says is impractical for large sites and can constrain detailed engineering assessments.
• More flexible postponement provisions, allowing risk‑based decisions in exceptional circumstances to avoid unnecessary shutdowns.

The Association reiterated its willingness to meet with Government and HSE representatives to support a proportionate and modernised regulatory framework. A copy of EEMUA’s detailed position statement has been provided alongside the correspondence.

As numerous industrial sectors undergo digitalization, there is a growing trend toward automation, traceability, and paperless processes and workflows.

When an ignition source meets a combustible dust cloud within an enclosed space, such as in a dust collector, silo or bucket elevator, a devastating explosion may occur.

Explosion vents are often installed on these vessels to open and safely relieve pressure and flames.  When these applications are located indoors, “free venting” isn't possible and flameless venting devices may often be used instead. These devices include a flame arrester constructed of several layers of wire mesh to absorb the heat and keep flames from escaping.

How effectively a vent relieves pressure is referred to as its “venting efficiency,” which helps system designers determine the proper size and quantity of vents that are required to safely protect the process.  However, with flameless venting, a number of particles may clog the filter, which greatly reduces its venting efficiency.

This is why product clogging and several other variables must be included in the design of a flameless venting system. If this efficiency rating isn’t properly calculated for an application in which flameless vents are installed, they may not safely relieve the deflagration when called upon.

Essential Elements of Flameless Vent System Design

The performance of every flameless vent filter depends heavily on the unique characteristics of the burning dust cloud. Therefore, when designing a flameless venting system, an explosion protection provider should know the following about the application and its handled dust:

1. PARTICLE SIZE: Various particle sizes may clog the filter slower or faster.
2. PARTICLE MORPHOLOGY: Affects the rate of clogging as well as the size of aggregates that get blocked on the surface of the filter. For example, fibrous dusts may clog the filter in a different way versus melting dusts (such as sugar) or granular dusts.
3. DUST CONCENTRATION: 250g/m3 in a certain volume will challenge a filter differently in comparison to 2000g/m3. In the second case, the filter may clog faster and it can even fail due to the increase in pressure.
4. VESSEL GEOMETRY & IGNITION: In a long vessel, where ignition may occur at the bottom and the flameless venting system is installed at the top, flame will push the maximum amount of dust from the entire volume through the filter.
5. VESSEL VOLUME: Each flameless venting size has a maximum process equipment volume where dust is dispersed and can be successfully quenched. Above that limit, flame quenching is not guaranteed due to the high thermal load.

Why is Efficiency Reduced in Flameless Venting Devices?

Flameless venting performance cannot be described by one efficiency number but rather must be disclosed through a complex model that considers all of the factors of the process and its handled dust 

For example, there is a possibility that a flameless venting device of a certain size performs very well under 500g/m3 of cornstarch, showing an efficiency of 70 percent, but clogs very quickly under 500g/m3 of wood flour, showing an efficiency of just 40 percent or lower.

If multiple factors are ignored and severe clogging occurs, there is a chance of the device failing and the vessel rupturing.

Why It Matters

Purchasers of flameless venting systems must understand that within these devices is a hidden, complex problem of fluid mechanics, including fluid- particle flow, the transferring heat and the releasing of pressure, all within milliseconds.

The application of such a device to mitigate an explosion requires more information than traditional venting.

Users need to be aware of the complexity and ask the correct questions with the aim to define the real performance of these devices to ensure that when they are called upon, they work as intended.

ATEX has been part of the industrial safety landscape for more than two decades. For professionals working with hazardous areas, it’s familiar territory—equipment marking, zone classification, Ex certification. But familiarity can sometimes lead to oversimplification. And that’s where problems begin.

In 2013, ExVeritas published a guide to demystify the fundamentals of ATEX. The goal then was clarity—what the directives mean, how they apply, and where responsibilities lie. Ten years on, the core framework of ATEX remains intact, but the environment around it has evolved. Today, ATEX needs to be understood not in isolation, but as the foundation of a broader compliance system.

Why ATEX Still Matters

At its heart, ATEX is about managing the risks of explosive atmospheres. It does this through two complementary directives:

• 2014/34/EU – for manufacturers, covering equipment design and certification
• 1999/92/EC – for employers and site operators, covering safe use in the workplace

Together, they govern both the products used in hazardous areas and the environments they’re used in. One sets the baseline for safe equipment. The other sets expectations for safe operation.

In practice, however, these two parts are often treated separately. A site may buy certified equipment, only to install it in the wrong zone. Or zoning documents may not reflect real conditions on the plant floor. These aren’t minor errors—they’re points where compliance and safety can break down.

Two Directives, One Challenge

The issue isn’t with the directives themselves, but how narrowly they’re applied. ATEX draws a line between product and workplace responsibilities, but that line is rarely so clear in reality—especially in dynamic operations where conditions change and equipment evolves.

Certified equipment is only part of the story. To ensure long-term safety, it must be installed, maintained, and used correctly—supported by clear procedures, competent people, and responsive management systems. ATEX assumes this integration happens, but it’s often where gaps appear.

Hazardous Areas as Systems

Hazardous areas aren’t defined solely by equipment. They’re shaped by how people interact with processes and how risks are managed over time. Compliant equipment today might not be tomorrow if it’s modified, misused, or applied outside its intended use.

That's why ATEX is often misapplied as a product compliance checkbox. But both directives, covering equipment and workplace, require much more. True compliance involves:

• Equipment lifecycle management
• Zoning and documentation
• Competence and procedural control
• Ongoing inspection and verification

When these elements work together, ATEX becomes part of a living safety system—not just a certificate on file.

From Certification to Continuous Control

Today, ATEX intersects with broader obligations: DSEAR, ISO 14001, and quality management systems that demand traceability, change control, and continual improvement. Certified equipment is essential—but how it’s managed, maintained, and documented is what sustains compliance.

In Part 2, we’ll explore how ATEX fits into this wider ecosystem—and what good looks like when hazardous area compliance is embedded into quality, safety, and environmental governance.

In hazardous areas, mobile devices are subject to strict certification requirements. This directly affects how equipment is selected and replaced. In practice, there are two common approaches. The first is fully certified Ex tablets. These are intrinsically safe devices where the certification is built into the hardware itself. The second approach uses standard consumer tablets combined with a dedicated explosion-proof enclosure. Despite their differences, both approaches share the same limitation. The device and the explosion protection are effectively locked together. When the hardware becomes outdated, underpowered, or unsupported, the entire solution must be replaced.

For Ex tablets, this is because the certification is tied to that specific device. You cannot upgrade internal components without invalidating certification. For consumer tablets with Ex housings, the enclosure is designed for one specific model. Once that tablet is ready for an upgrade, the enclosure can no longer be reused. In both cases, a hardware refresh results in full replacement, including components that are still mechanically sound.

A More Sustainable Approach A more sustainable model separates the device from the explosion protection. Instead of treating them as a single unit, they become modular components. In this setup, the enclosure remains a long-term asset, while the tablet inside can be upgraded independently. This allows companies to follow standard IT lifecycles without replacing the certified housing each time.

It also removes a common bottleneck. With traditional Ex devices, users often have to wait for new certified models to access updated technology. A modular approach allows immediate use of newer consumer hardware, without being dependent on certification cycles. The result is a system that is both more flexible and more aligned with modern expectations around sustainability and cost control.

A Universal Modular Solution The UniCase by Armadex is built around this modular principle. Instead of being tied to a single device, the enclosure is designed to work with multiple tablet models through an interchangeable inlay system. The outer housing remains unchanged, while the inlays are tailored to a specific device. Buttons, touchscreen, cameras, and microphones can be used as intended, without compromising usability.

When upgrading to a new tablet, only the inlay and the device are replaced. The enclosure itself is reused. This approach decouples the lifecycle of the ATEX tablet enclosure from that of the device, while maintaining full operational functionality in the field. Looking Ahead As industries place more emphasis on sustainability and efficiency, the way equipment is designed and managed becomes increasingly important.

A modular system allows companies to reduce waste by reusing durable components. It also avoids repeated investment in certified housings, which is the most expensive part of the solution. At the same time, it ensures access to the latest technology. Devices can be upgraded when needed, without waiting for new certified variants or replacing the entire setup. In hazardous environments, where reliability and compliance are essential, this approach provides a more balanced model. It supports long-term use of costly certified equipment while enabling continuous technological improvement.

In just three weeks, MENZEL delivered a water-cooled, pressure-encapsulated (Ex-p) compressor motor to Austria’s largest plastics manufacturer. This was possible because both the base motor and the required Ex-p system were available from stock, and we have the expertise to convert standard motors to Ex-p in-house, TÜV-certified.

Challenge: High safety requirements with minimal lead time

The customer urgently required a replacement for a compressor drive operating in a hazardous area (Zone 1). In addition to complying with the protection class II 3G Ex pzc IIB T3 Gc, fast availability was critical, as the compressor plays a key role in the production process. The new motor had to fit exactly into the existing footprint, including foundation dimensions, flange positions, and connection geometries.

All necessary modifications to the stock motor had to be completed within three weeks. MENZEL engineers were on-site even before order placement to review the installation situation and clarify all technical details.

Solution: Perfect combination of stock availability, engineering expertise, and Ex-p know-how

MENZEL successfully executed the project because both the suitable squirrel-cage motor from the MEBKSW series and the pressure-encapsulated Ex-p system were immediately available from stock – a decisive advantage over many other manufacturers.

The stock motor was extensively adapted to the application and installation site. The housing was equipped with purge flanges, allowing the motor to be flushed with a non-ignitable gas mixture before start-up, while overpressure during operation prevents the ingress of hazardous gases. The motor was certified II 3G Ex pzc IIB T3 Gc, and all testing according to applicable Ex standards was performed in our in-house certified test facility.

Additional modifications included:

• Conversion to cooling type IC 81W (water-cooled)
• Mechanical adjustment of frame size from 560 to 630
• Relocation of terminal boxes
• Preparation of the star-point terminal box for current transformers
• Adjustment of bearing flange connections
• Installation of vibration sensors

Thanks to close cooperation between engineering, manufacturing, and quality assurance, all mechanical and electrical work was completed within three weeks and delivered via special truck. MENZEL also offered technical supervision for commissioning.
