Established in 1990, we have been involved with the major energy companies, main specifiers and contractors, testimony to the expertise and reputation of the hazardous area generators we manufacture.

Production techniques and design technology has enabled the company to lead innovative designs and high quality products, we have a distinguished record of engineering achievements.

Ampco's range includes zone 1 generators and zone 2 generators which meet relevant directives and certification standards, including IECEx, ATEX and NEC requirements.

IECEx certification confirms the generators have the appropriate protection for use in explosive atmospheres and are manufactured under systems which are subject to ongoing surveillance by the certified body.

Quality Assurance

Stringent quality procedures are observed from first design to finished product in accordance with the ISO9001 documented quality systems, an assurance that only the highest possible standards of quality are accepted.

Quality Testing

All hazardous area generators are inspected to strict engineering tolerances. All components are thoroughly checked for quality, standard and material specification and are subjected to mechanical and electrical tests at first, intermediate and final stages of manufacture. Individual hazardous area generators are also tested to specific customer requirements.
