VarTech System’s Hazardous Area Non-Purged C1D2 LCD 10.4 Inch Panel PC Computer Now Available with the Latest Intel I Series Core Processing Technology

Baton Rouge, LA, January 27, 2013 --(PR.com)-- VarTech Systems Inc. has announced that their ToughStation Hazardous Area, Non-Purged, C1D2, 10.4 inch panel PC computer is now available with the latest, powerful Intel i3, i5 and i7 Core processing technology. VarTech’s hazardous area LCD workstations are engineered for Class 1 Division 2 environments such as oil rig drilling, underground and surface mining, chemical processing, pharmaceutical and food processing. These industries can now benefit from the latest in computing technology by incorporating the fastest and most powerful processors into their industrial and hazardous area applications.

VarTech’s ToughStation VTPC100PS C1D2 certified, hazardous area, 10.4 inch panel PC computer features class 1 division 2 hazardous area testing and certification by an independent agency. The bright active matrix TFT flat panel display boasts 400 nits high brightness illumination. It is equipped with a powerful Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz Processor with optional Intel T4500 2.30 GHz 800MHz FSB Intel Dual Core Processors or the latest Intel i3, i5 or i7 core processing technologies. The VTPC100PS is constructed with a NEMA 4X (IP66), stainless steel front bezel helping to make the IPC resistive to corrosive liquids / materials and suitable for wash down applications. An impressively wide operational temperature range, -10°C to +60°C (14°F to +140°F), is standard on the VTPC100PS.

VarTech’s ToughStation Hazardous Area fully enclosed LCD workstations and panel PC computers are applicable as rig floor computers withstanding the harsh environments presented by oil drill rigs in situations such as hydraulic fracturing or fracking, directional drilling, hydrocarbon well logging or mud logging, catalytic cracking and crude oil / petroleum refinery. They are also designed for the extreme conditions of underground mining including but not limited to distribution mining, tunnel boring and production mining. These non-incendive LCD workstations and panel PCs ensure explosion proof protection in underground mining environments where coal dust and other combustible materials are present in an enclosed atmosphere. They are built to resist the rugged conditions and shock and vibrations inherent in strip mining, surface mining, open-pit mining and mountaintop removal applications. These units can also serve in both chemical engineering and processing industry areas involving vapor recovery, corrosive chemical solvents, plastic or polymer production and fixed bed reactors. They are certified for Class 1 Division 2 areas where gas, ignitable vapors or flammable dust may be present. The Non-incendive construction of this line of hazardous area LCD workstations makes them appropriate for use in food processing applications where grain dust is present and corrosive cleaning elements and wash-down computing is necessary.

VarTech Systems Inc. is an ISO 9001 registered company specializing in the manufacturing of military, marine and industrial grade displays and computer workstations.
