The Udhyogi 6250 SS (cataloged under reference KTI10012002S304 and model designations 6250-SS-S / SSSU-2011) is a floor-mounted combination emergency drench shower and eyewash fountain. Engineered entirely from Grade 304 stainless steel (SS 304), the unit delivers rapid physical decontamination across environments containing aggressive acids, alkalis, and hazardous chemical compounds. Designed in compliance with IS 10592:2018 and ANSI Z358.1, the assembly provides an overhead shower discharge of at least 76 LPM alongside an eyewash delivery of at least 12 LPM, satisfying rigorous EHS standards for rapid flushes.
Chemical Manufacturing, Dispensing, and Transfer Bays
In chemical processing plants and bulk liquid transfer depots, personnel face continuous splash risks during reactor sampling, tank charging, and hazardous fluid transfer. The 6250 SS provides an immediate flushing barrier for acid and chemical spillage. The pull-rod-activated deluge shower delivers rapid total-body rinsing from a shower head height between 2100 mm and 2400 mm, drenching hazardous liquid off chemical suits and exposed skin before deep dermal burns can take place.
Battery Charging Rooms and Electrical Sub-Stations
Industrial battery charging areas, where forklift and plant machinery traction batteries undergo regular electrolyte servicing, contain significant concentrations of corrosive sulfuric acid. In the event of a casing rupture or boiling acid splash, personnel need instant eyewash access. The twin soft-flow foam-generating atomizers feature aerators that mitigate excessive water splash against damaged ocular tissue, while the integrated foot pedal enables hands-free activation if workers' hands are contaminated or temporarily immobilized.
Metallurgical Facilities and Steel Processing Operations
Steel processing, hot-dip plants, and metallurgical pickling lines expose floor technicians to harsh pickling baths containing hydrochloric and sulfuric acids. The Grade 304 stainless steel construction of the supply piping, 260 ± 5 mm receptor bowl, base plate, and stay-open ball valves ensures structural resilience in corrosive, high-humidity, and acidic atmospheres, preventing mechanical failure caused by chemical vapor exposure.
Pharmaceutical Processing and Research Laboratories
Laboratories and clean pharmaceutical formulation suites handle concentrated reagents, solvents, and biological agents. The twin atomizers are fitted with pop-off covers that seal out ambient dust, powders, and contaminants during standard facility operation, opening automatically via incoming water pressure when the push plate or foot pedal is engaged. This ensures the eyewash stream remains pristine upon emergency activation.
Automotive Dipping, Painting, and Spraying Lines
Automobile dipping facilities, solvent degreasing lines, and high-volume spraying stations utilize flammable solvents, primers, and caustic dipping agents. Strategically anchoring the unit via its 180 ± 5 mm base plate (utilizing 4 bolting holes on a 150 ± 2 mm PCD) along these production lines ensures compliant emergency response times near dipping tanks and chemical mixing equipment.
