Protectoseal and W.M. Wilson team up to strengthen Vapor Safety Systems for Distilleries [BrandScape]

As distilleries scale operations and navigate growing regulatory demands for flammable vapor control, Protectoseal, a leader in safety engineering, is introducing a system-level approach to pressure management and vapor ignition protection. Through a new partnership with W.M. Wilson, a trusted distributor with over 50 years of industry experience, Protectoseal is expanding its reach within the spirits sector – bringing proven vapor safety technologies and hands-on expertise directly to distillery operators.

Comprehensive Safety Solutions

At the core of Protectoseal’s offering are conservation vents, which maintain safe internal tank pressures during normal operations such as filling, emptying, and temperature changes. These vents safeguard storage tanks from structural damage and product loss, critical concerns for both craft distilleries and large-scale producers.

In emergency scenarios, such as fire exposure or rapid vapor expansion, emergency pressure relief vents provide a vital second line of defense. Designed for full-capacity, rapid venting, these devices protect tanks from rupture when standard relief systems reach their limits.

Recognizing the unique risks of ethanol vapor, Protectoseal also manufactures a comprehensive line of flame arresters and detonation arresters engineered to prevent ignition sources from entering vapor systems. Flame arresters stop flashback through open vents, while detonation arresters block high-speed flame fronts within piping. Both are tested to rigorous international standards and are essential for distilleries operating in classified or hazardous areas.

Beyond core vapor safety devices, Protectoseal supports distilleries with specialized components such as hatches, liquid level indicators, and sanitary-grade accessories tailored for food and beverage applications. Each product is designed to meet the hygiene and reliability demands of modern distilling environments.

What sets Protectoseal apart is its integrated system approach. Rather than offering isolated products, Protectoseal designs complete solutions – ensuring every vent, arrester, and accessory works together for end-to-end vapor control. Equipment is available in a range of materials, sizes, and configurations, with customization options to suit both heritage distilleries and emerging brands.
