ATEX components
ATEX components
ATEX-approved products are essential in environments where there is a risk of explosion due to flammable gases, vapors, dust, or other combustible materials. These zones are typically found in industries such as oil and gas, chemical production, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture, where safety must be paramount.
The ATEX (ATmosphères EXplosibles) directives are EU-regulated requirements that ensure that electrical and mechanical equipment does not constitute a source of ignition in potentially explosive atmospheres.
ATEX-approved products are designed and tested to meet strict explosion protection standards, and proper use is not just a matter of compliance—it's a matter of operation and safety.
It is essential to have a complete overview of ATEX zones, classifications, and risks so that the right equipment is used in the right place. Incorrect installation or use of non-approved equipment in ATEX areas can lead to serious incidents, operational downtime, and have large consequences.
ATEX switches
ATEX switches are designed for safe switching and control in potentially explosive areas where sparks or heat generation may pose a risk. Our range covers both Ex e (increased safety) and Ex d (flame-proof) enclosures, ensuring operational reliability in both gas zones (1/2) and dust zones (21/22).
Application:
– Process plants, treatment plants, and chemical factories
– Food production with risk of dust explosions in all zones
– Offshore installations
Advantages:
- Robust construction for demanding environments
- Mechanical lock for safe operation
- IP and IK ratings for protection against dust and water
ATEX terminal boxes/junction boxes
Junction boxes are used for safe and flexible power and signal distribution in potentially explosive areas. Our ATEX-approved boxes are available in stainless steel, polyester or aluminum, and can be configured with terminals, cable glands, and potential equalization – as needed.
Application:
– Separation of cable routing in refineries or gas terminals
– Installation in dust-sensitive silo systems in the food industry
– Offshore installations where corrosion resistance is crucial
Advantages:
- Zone 1/2 and 21/22 classified
- Available as standard or customized solution
- High IP protection and temperature tolerance
ATEX control boxes
Control boxes enable local control of pumps, valves, and other devices in ATEX zones. Our solutions range from simple push-button boxes to advanced devices with emergency stop functions, signal indicators, connections to automation systems, and much more.
Application:
– Starting/stopping pumps in production environments
– Local operation of ventilation systems in dusty areas
– Emergency stops in pharmaceutical or food production
Advantages:
- Complete Ex-certified construction
- Customization by function
- Withstands vibration, moisture, and chemical exposure
ATEX wall outlet
Wall outlets for ATEX zones ensure safe and easy power supply to equipment in potentially explosive areas. The products are approved for both gas and dust zones and are available in several current ratings and pole configurations.
Application:
– Power supply for inspection equipment in process plants
– Temporary installations in oil and gas fields
– Connecting equipment in potentially explosive dust atmospheres
Advantages:
- Color codes for voltage levels IEC 609
- Easy maintenance and high safety
ATEX connector
ATEX connectors enable the safe connection and disconnection of electrical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres. They are designed to prevent sparking and meet strict safety standards.
Application:
– Temporary power connections
– Use for maintenance in processing and silos
Advantages:
- Lightning-fast and secure connection
- IP rating for protection against dust and water
- Color-coded for voltage level, IEC 60309
ATEX extension cables
ATEX connectors enable the safe connection and disconnection of electrical equipment in potentially explosive atmospheres. They are designed to prevent sparking and meet strict safety standards.
Application:
– Temporary power connections
– Use for maintenance in processing and silos
Advantages:
- Lightning-fast and secure connection
- IP rating for protection against dust and water
- Color-coded for voltage level, IEC 60309
ATEX screw connections
ATEX-approved cable glands ensure tight and secure cable entries in potentially explosive environments. Our range covers types of metal and plastic, that prevents the ingress of dust and liquids.
Application:
– Connection of control cables in instrument boxes for all ATEX zones
– Many production options
Advantages:
- Certified according to ATEX and IECEx standards
- Withstands wide temperature ranges and chemicals
- IP rating for protection against dust and water
ATEX solenoid valves
ATEX solenoid valves control the flow of liquids and gases in potentially explosive environments with high precision and safety.
Application:
– Gas regulation in biogas plants or hydrogen systems
– Flow control in the food industry with risk of dust explosion
– Steam and liquid control in pharmaceutical production
Advantages:
- High operational reliability in demanding environments
- Fast response time and low power consumption
- Compatible with many types of liquids and gases
