Gas warning devices in the printing industry
Safety with paint, solvents and air quality
Print shops are high-tech operations with complex machines, inks and auxiliary materials.
Whether offset, gravure or digital printing: volatile organic compounds (VOCs), solvents or ozone-forming substances are used in many processes – often in closed rooms and in high concentrations.
What many people don’t know: These substances can not only be harmful to health, but also highly flammable.
Typical hazardous substances in print shops:
- Solvent vapors from cleaning agents, paints or varnishes
- Isopropanol (IPA): frequently used in fountain solution additives – highly flammable
- Ozone (O₃): is produced, for example, during UV drying or laser printing systems
- Carbon monoxide (CO): in the event of incomplete combustion in heating systems or dryers
- Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂): in compressed gases or during thermal processes
Risks without gas warning systems:
- Explosion hazard due to solvent vapors in unfavorable concentrations
- Health risks due to chronic VOC exposure
- Ozone exposure from UV systems – irritates the respiratory tract and eyes
- Unnoticed leaks from pressurized gas cylinders or cleaning systems
Gas monitoring protects people, machines and operations:
Preventive safety is essential in modern printing companies. Professional gas warning systems detect critical concentrations before they become a hazard – automatically, permanently and reliably.
Our systems offer:
- Early warning of dangerous gas concentrations
- Explosion protection according to ATEX and EN standards
- Integration in ventilation, alarming and process control
- Mobile or stationary measuring solutions – depending on the size of the company
Security that runs with you. Protection that thinks for itself.
With our gas detection systems, you can ensure a safe, legally compliant working environment in your print shop – without interrupting production.
