The requirements of modern sites has seen a huge upturn in the demand for safe and reliable technology which can be taken into operational hazardous areas for the purpose of inspection or modification.
Many project and maintenance schedules now demand work to be done whilst processes are still live where possible with many sites no longer having traditional shutdown and overhaul periods. (Read More)
Explosion Proof Air Conditioner for Harsh and Corrosive Environments
Ex-Machinery Explosion Proof Equipment B.V. launches a split air conditioning system for use in highly corrosive environments.
Applications are off-shore platforms and refineries in coastal areas and chemical plants. Copper tubing with copper fins prevents galvanic corrosion of the condenser. The outdoor unit casing is made of AISI316 stainless steel. The A/C system is suitable for extreme ambient temperatures up to 55°C. (Read More)
Changes for lift trucks operating in the “Angel’s Share” of distilleries
Distilleries have been affected by the update to the EN1755:2015 standard, which has changed how ATEX compliant lift trucks are built and managed.
“The storage of high volumes of casks of maturing scotch whisky presents explosion risks classified in the same league as the petrochemical industry,” says Rob Vesty of safety company Pyroban®. (Read More)
Progarm Protects Against The Great British Weather
Garments designed with the wearer’s safety, comfort and convenience in mind highlight ProGARM’s commitment to industry safety
ProGARM, the UK’s leading specialist in Arc Flash protection understands the need for clothing that is comfortable, warm and importantly waterproof during the winter months.
While those across the UK at risk of an Arc Flash are already encouraged to wear full protective PPE throughout the year, workers crucially want to be comfortable and dry once inclement weather becomes an almost daily occurrence throughout the UK. Unfortunately, a lot of PPE clothing deemed weather proof, can lose its effect after hours of exposure and may only be able to protect against rain to a limited extent. A lack of protection in areas like zips, seams and pockets is also commonplace, making many workers turn to their own waterproofs for protection against the elements. (Read More)
Grounding multiple components in powder processing – Protection from static hazards
Powder processing operations can generate vast quantities of electrostatic charge via the movement of powder.
The standard method of charging on powder processing operations is due to tribo-electrification, which is basically the contact and separation of the powder with processing equipment, the powder itself or other factors that can cause charging, like surface contaminants. (Read More)

Hybrid Power System
Looking for a portable power source that can cope in any climate, is cost effective, environmentally friendly and low maintenance?
JCE Group has the solution with the innovative Hybrid Power System (HPS), which is robust enough to cope in any weather condition, climate or hard to access location and supplies reliable energy output 365 days of the year. (Read More)
The HPS consists of solar panels, a wind turbine, battery system, control panel and distribution board to create a fully autonomous energy system, generating power from sunlight and wind which is stored in the battery.
JCE Group can customise the design and manufacture of the HPS specific to your power requirements as there is a variety of voltages and loads available. We can also certify the HPS for whatever environment it’s used in, including marine duty and EX rated for hazardous areas.
Once the Hybrid Power System is complete, it can be carefully packed away into a containerised unit for easy transportation and optimal protection. We can arrange for the complete package to be delivered across the globe through various means of transport. The HPS is an ideal solution for any industry or project in a remote location where power supply is in demand, including jungles, deserts, marine applications and unmanned platforms.
After the stand-alone unit arrives on site, unpacking and installation requires minimal time and effort as it is designed to eradicate any need for external wiring. The HPS can be assembled and ready for use within hours. Our specialised team of electrical engineers can even be on hand to ensure a seamless installation and initiation of the system on site.
Multiple applications can be used in conjunction with the Hybrid Power System, including bird scaring devices, navaids, lights and security cameras, which are all supplied by JCE Group. We can also add our intelligent telemetry system to the HPS, allowing you to monitor your asset from a distant location, ensuring performances remain at optimum levels.
The HPS offers significant reductions in operational expenditure from other power supply solutions, as it requires minimal supervision and maintenance to continue peak performance. With a lifespan of 25-30 Years JCE Group’s Hybrid Power System can be a long term solution to your power and energy needs.
