Ingersoll Rand, a global leader in reliable and innovative power tools, expanded its portfolio of ATEX certified industrial equipment with seven new heavy duty pneumatic impact tools and drills.
The new tools meet the harshest environments of specialised applications including the petrochemical and mining industries, and other production or processing areas where hazardous atmospheres can occur.
The ATEX (Atmosphères Explosibles) Directive 2014/34/EU1 is the European Regulatory Framework for the manufacture, installation and use of equipment in explosive atmospheres. It defines the essential health and safety requirements for equipment and protective systems.
“At Ingersoll Rand we have always tirelessly worked to be close to our customers and offer them power tools that help them do the job effectively in their even most demanding environments,” said Frederic Jezequel, product and marketing leader at Ingersoll Rand.
