Regulations and Safety

It’s not just a question of energy and CO.

When we talk about industrial technical insulation, our minds immediately turn to concepts such as energy efficiency, plant protection, emission reduction and regulatory compliance. All of which are correct. But this view is incomplete.

More and more companies are discovering another value, perhaps less obvious but equally strategic: the direct impact on the well-being of people working in production environments.

More stable temperatures, less noise, greater safety: what was once perceived as an exclusively technical intervention is becoming a concrete lever for improving quality of life in the workplace, reducing accidents, and increasing productivity.

A silent but real transformation that is shifting the focus from the plant… to people.

And perhaps the time has come to start looking at technical insulation from this new perspective as well.

An often underestimated issue: comfort in production departments

Those who work every day in an industrial plant know this well: the intense heat near uninsulated pipes and valves, the constant noise of operating equipment, the impossibility of touching a surface without risking a burn… these are factors that directly affect physical and mental well-being.

  • Fatigue increases.
  • Concentration decreases.
  • Errors multiply.
  • The risk of accidents is always around the corner.

Yet, all this is often accepted as an inevitable part of the job. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Technical insulation is already the answer. Our Enersave thermal jackets —designed for valves, flanges, pumps and filters—not only serve to contain heat loss and save energy. They also offer concrete, visible, and measurable benefits for those who work alongside this equipment every day:

  • They lower the surface temperature of insulated components, drastically reducing the risk of accidental contact with hot elements.
  • They stabilize the environment, helping to create more balanced thermal conditions, especially in departments where cold and hot areas alternate.
  • They dampen the noise generated by operating equipment, making the department more livable and less stressful from an acoustic point of view.

The result? A better quality of life for workers

QImproving operational comfort triggers a virtuous circle:

  • Operators are more attentive and relaxed.
  • They work in safer conditions.
  • They reduce the margin for error.
  • And, last but not least, they feel that the company is paying real attention to them.

What was once considered a simple technical covering thus becomes a real ally for productivity and staff motivation.plice rivestimento tecnico, si trasforma così in un vero alleato per la produttività e la motivazione del personale.

An advantage for entrepreneurs too

The adoption of technical insulation systems such as Enersave also brings benefits in terms of management:

  • Reduction in accidents = fewer days lost and fewer unexpected costs.
  • More comfortable environment = easier to retain qualified staff.
  • Easier maintenance = the jackets are removable and reusable, simplifying inspections.
  • Energy savings = less heat loss means lower bills and greater sustainability.

It’s not a dream. It works, and it works right away. Those who have implemented these solutions have seen tangible results within the first few weeks.

Change starts with the details. And these really make the difference.

At a time when employee wellbeing is becoming increasingly important, it is time to look at technical details with fresh eyes.

Because a more comfortable, safe and stable environment can also be created with a well-insulated valve.

Why should a small SME invest in health and safety management?

ISO 45001 certification is an International standard that defines the requirements of an occupational health and safety management system and provides precise indications for its implementation.

Being in possession of such a qualifying certification, places a company among the most advanced firms on the Italian and International industrial scene.

Also New Componit decided to adopt ISO 45001.

The certification that defines the requirements of an Environmental Management System of a company can no longer be seen as something extraneous or parallel to company life.

So what does it mean to have a certified ISO 14001 partner?

There are many advantages of having an Environmental Management System certified by this norm, such as the supervision of environmental performance, the guarantee of systematically approaching environmental emergencies and the prevention of environmental violation, the reduction of waste and many others.

Also New Componit decided to adopt ISO 14001.

Want to improve comfort and performance in your plant with a tailored solution?

Already in 90s New Componit, had been a pioneer among SME in undertaking the certification process for ISO 9001 standard.

Over the last few years, the need to update to ISO 9001 : 2015 has marked the company daily life, setting its goals and focusing above all on customer satisfaction and continuous improvement.

The standard defines the international requirements for the certification of a quality management system in a company.

For the majority of small and medium companies, Quality is a burocratic issue: certification is nothing more than a stamp to be shown on the market, something “you must have” to participate in tenders.

For New Componit, quality is different! New Componit has considered quality as a way of living the company and strongly wanted to achieve the certification, as the final goal of a path that has innovated processes and products.

In the last two years, all staff have been actively involved in the preparation and fulfillment steps and in 2022 New Componit obtained, in addition to ISO 9001:2015, also ISO 14001 (environmental management system), and ISO 45001 (worker health and safety management system).

An important aim that the company and its staff, want to keep with the biggest effort, thanks to the fact that mood as benefited, together with the quality of everyone’s work.

Want to improve comfort and performance in your plant with a tailored solution?

No, they are not and now I try to explain you why.

The legislative regulations concern all the equipment and protection systems intended to be used  in potentially explosive atmospheres.

  • Fabric expansion joints
  • Rubber expansion joints
  • Insulation covering

These products do not carry a flammable fluid and are part of a system which is already subject to ATEX certification.

The equipment defined by ATEX directive are: “machines, systems, fixed or mobile devices, components and control instruments, detection or prevention systems which are partially or entirely intended for the generation, transport, storage, measurement, control and energy conversion and/or treatment of materials which may cause an explosion due to their potential ignition sources “. (Article 1, paragraph 3)

The equipment which are part of ATEX directive have an independent function and their own ignition source.

Products that are in accordance with the definition of equipment but do not have their own ignition source are “outside the scope of ATEX directive”. Therefore, products such as manual valves, pressure gauges, pressure regulators, etc. are “outside the scope of the directive” if an ignition risk analysis shows that they do not have their own ignition source.

This does not include ignition hazards resulting from assembling these products in a circuit.

However, when we know that our products will be used in the Atex area, we use fabrics suitable for this type of environment, which are conductive, i.e. with a surface resistance a value that determines their absolute suitability for this use.
