ATEX blowers
ATEX blowers are designed for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, adhering to the ATEX directive (2014/34/EU) for equipment and protective systems intended for use in such environments. These blowers are engineered to prevent ignition sources, ensuring safe operation in hazardous areas classified as Zone 1, 2, or 22 for gas and dust environments, respectively.
Key Features of ATEX Blowers:
-
Explosion Protection:ATEX blowers are specifically designed to prevent the ignition of explosive atmospheres, which may contain flammable gases, vapors, mists, or dusts.
-
Compliance with ATEX Directive:They are certified to meet the requirements of the ATEX directive (2014/34/EU), ensuring they meet safety standards for hazardous environments.
-
Zone Classification:ATEX blowers are suitable for various hazardous zones, including:
- Zone 1 (Gas): Areas where an explosive atmosphere is likely to occur occasionally in normal operation.
- Zone 2 (Gas): Areas where an explosive atmosphere is not likely to occur in normal operation, or if it does, it will only be present for a short time.
- Zone 22 (Dust): Areas where a combustible dust cloud is likely to occur in normal operation.
- Zone 1 (Gas): Areas where an explosive atmosphere is likely to occur occasionally in normal operation.
-
Customization:ATEX blowers can be custom-designed for specific applications and customer requirements, including material selection based on the gas being handled and the inclusion of safety devices for monitoring and control.
-
Robust Construction:These blowers are built with safety in mind, incorporating features to eliminate potential ignition sources, even in the event of disturbances or malfunctions.
-
Gas Tightness:Some ATEX blowers are designed to be gas-tight, preventing the transfer of explosions from the inside to the outside of the unit.
-
Applications:ATEX blowers are used in various industries where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present, such as chemical, petrochemical, biogas, and pneumatic conveying systems.
