The process of extracting, refining and transporting petrochemicals is fraught with danger. Extraction, in a South African context, will include mining of coal for processing into fuel oils and other essential hydrocarbon derivatives.
The mining and processing of petrochemical is hazardous and requires very stringent safety controls. This is to ensure that workers and associated personnel remain safe. Threat prevention is the responsibility of everyone in the value chain.
Abrasive products, such as cutting and grinding discs, are essential to the mining and petrochemical industry. Be it for cutting pipe sections, grinding and blending welds, or cutting of concrete slabs – the humble angle grinder has become part and parcel of the process. These same angle grinders and abrasives may prove to be a safety risk if not used correctly and under strict control.
With focus on improving safety of cutting and grinding applications, we have developed several products within the Superflex range to provide for a better working condition, while retaining excellent performance and overall cost reduction. Visit us at the upcoming African petrochemical roadshow set for 11 July in Secunda to see some of these products in action.
