The classifier determines whether an area is a dust Zone, gas Zone or non-hazardous industrial location; the process label alone does not. Ask for authenticated documentation showing boundaries, group and minimum ignition temperature; do not classify from a photograph or area name.
Pulp and paper lighting for documented dust and process conditions
Lighting support for wet, dusty and corrosive mill environments
Pulp and paper lighting for documented dust and process conditions
wood handling, pulping, paper machines, converting lines and chemical areas can place classified and non-classified spaces only metres apart. The process and its classification documentation determine the fixture; the industry label does not.
The classifier determines whether an area is a dust Zone, gas Zone or non-hazardous industrial location; the process label alone does not. For each catalogue number, verify combustible dust, moisture, chemicals, heat, vibration and maintenance access, plus a certification mark from an accredited Canadian certification body and any special conditions.
LEDEX compares the project documentation against product markings and calculates a layout from the exact model's IES file. You receive a fixture schedule with the supporting product documentation your project professional and inspection authority will ask for.
Application Areas
Pulp Processing
Pulp Processing conditions vary by release source, ventilation and process. Use the authenticated classification and complete model marking to select lighting for this part of the facility.
Paper Manufacturing
Paper Manufacturing conditions vary by release source, ventilation and process. Use the authenticated classification and complete model marking to select lighting for this part of the facility.
Wood Processing
Wood Processing conditions vary by release source, ventilation and process. Use the authenticated classification and complete model marking to select lighting for this part of the facility.
Chemical Recovery
Chemical Recovery conditions vary by release source, ventilation and process. Use the authenticated classification and complete model marking to select lighting for this part of the facility.
Recommended Products for This Industry
Why LEDEX for Pulp & Paper?
Classification-led selection
Candidate models are filtered by the documented Zone or Division, group, temperature and ambient range.
Model-specific records
We supply the certification record for the exact catalogue number and options, not a general family listing.
IES-based layout
The photometric model uses the project optics, mounting height and obstructions to predict fc/lux and uniformity.
Coordinated installation inputs
Mounting, wiring and combustible dust, moisture, chemicals, heat, vibration and maintenance access are recorded before quotation.
