This year, Fiberscope has added the SOLO PRO+ ExZ1 explosion-proof pipe inspection camera to its line-up of pipe inspection systems. An advanced pipe inspection camera system certified to stringent ATEX Zone 1 standards for safe operation in potentially explosive environments. This new system introduced a critical safety solution for the oil, gas, and mining sectors, enabling operators to conduct high-resolution pipeline surveys in hazardous locations without the risk of ignition or the need for extensive shutdown procedures. The SoloPRO+ explosion-proof pipe camera delivers uncompromising safety without sacrificing professional-grade performance. It is an indispensable tool for thorough, efficient, and safe pipe surveys in hazardous, explosion-prone environments where safety is not just a priority but an absolute necessity".
The system centers on the CCU210-ExZ1 control unit, which features a specialized ATEX Override Key that immediately cuts power if the system detects any safety non-compliance. To ensure clear diagnostics, the system offers interchangeable camera heads—the CAM025 Self-Leveling Axial and the CAM026L Pan & Tilt with Laser — both nitrogen-pressurized to prevent gas ingress and capable of precise diameter and defect measurement. With a sunlight-viewable 8-inch display, WiFi connectivity for instant reporting, and pre-installed WinCan software, the SOLO PRO+ ExZ1 explosion-proof pipe inspection camera allows teams to capture and share critical infrastructure data efficiently while remaining fully compliant with safety protocols.
Operations in sectors such as petrochemical refining, wastewater management, and mining frequently involve "Zone 1" environments where flammable gases, vapors, or dust are likely present during normal operation. Standard electronic inspection tools pose a significant risk in these areas, as internal heat or sparks can trigger catastrophic explosions. Consequently, facilities often face costly downtime for nitrogen purging or dangerous manual entry requirements to perform essential maintenance. "By eliminating the need for human inspectors to enter risky or confined spaces, these cameras significantly enhance worker safety," according to Minicam technical documentation. "The system’s robust enclosure design and intrinsic safety mechanisms allow for more efficient and frequent inspections, delivering clear visual insights that improve overall operational reliability across various industries". The introduction of the SOLO PRO+ ExZ1 explosion-proof pipe inspection camera addresses a growing industry demand for equipment that meets rigorous safety mandates, such as UL Class 1, Division 1, and IECEx standards, without compromising data quality. Beyond oil and gas, this technology provides vital capabilities for inspecting hydrogen cooling systems in power generation, combustible dust areas in food processing, and biogas collection networks in wastewater utilities, ensuring infrastructure integrity across the energy and manufacturing landscape.
