Following an audit on 9th and 10th September 2019 from an Auditor on behalf of our notified body, SGS Fimko Oy, we have achieved an ‘A’ rating for our QA system, which has been considered suitable for the purpose of maintaining our ATEX QA Notification.   

This notification is a mandatory requirement for companies who design and manufacture explosion-protected equipment, providing confidence that the products supplied comply with their certified design. 

The Auditor commended our system with the following comment: 
“There is an emphasis on continual improvement within the company as a whole and particularly for Ex products.  There is awareness of Ex product requirements throughout the company and considerable experience and knowledge.”

The slip ring unit combined with these junction boxes, certified for use in ambient temperatures of -40°C to +45°C, allows a throughput voltage and current of 1kV and 200 Amps respectively.  As with the TX4740/TX4741, the slip ring can be combined with fibre optic rotary joints and hydraulic swivels, as required.

In 2020, the TX4740 series of Slip Ring Units celebrates its 30th Anniversary in operation so is a field-proven product, suitable for winch and ROV applications.

Trolex Engineering have recently expanded the TX4700 Series of products to allow the TX4705 and TX4707 to be used directly with the TX3700/3701 Exd Connectors.

The slip rings are certified for use in ATEX and IECEx hazardous areas with an ambient temperature of -20°C to +55°C, allowing direct connection using plug-and-play technology.

Trolex Engineering have recently introduced the TX4782 Electrical Slip Ring Unit to their range, certified for use in IECEx hazardous areas, to IEC 60079-0, IEC 60079-1 and IEC 60079-7 standards, for use in FPSO applications.

The electrical slip ring has a throughbore of 760mm, allowing the passage of hydraulics, pneumatics or product pipes, with a height of 2.1m.  Rated up to 500Vac with a maximum throughput current of 2010 Amps, it allows the transmission of both power and signals. The slip ring has been certified for use in an ambient temperature of -20°C to +45°C and is manufactured from 316L Stainless Steel.

The slip ring is fitted with junction boxes for connection from both the rotor and stator, allowing easy installation on-site, without the weight of heavy cables.  In addition, all maintenance can be done via removal of covers fitted to the unit to access the internal elements.

Trolex Engineering have been designing and manufacturing both explosion protected and weather protected slip rings for over 40 years.  From small, low power slip rings, through to large, high power slip rings; tried and tested in a range of arduous environments.  They offer both standard and bespoke products to suit any application.

The ISO9001 standard requires organisations to demonstrate that they have quality management systems in place that ensure consistency and improvement, assuring customers of high levels of performance and satisfaction.  Certified organisations are committed through continuous improvement and are assessed annually to ensure progress is being maintained.

The new 2015 standard, introduced in September 2016, has evolved to meet the needs of a more technology driven world with increasingly complex supply chains.  Focusing more on managing processes and less on documentation, the new accreditation includes a number of important changes including:
​

• More explicit expectations on proactive risk assessment and avoidance
• A requirement for top management to become fully accountable for the Quality Management System
• A stronger focus on the provision of resources to monitor and measure processes

Trolex Engineering will be closed from 3.15pm on Tuesday 19th December 2017 and will reopen at 8.00am on Tuesday 2nd January 2018.

If you enquiry is urgent, please email sales@txeng.co.uk, as these emails will be checked intermittently.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2018.
