We offer Auto-line configurations which complies with the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU, meeting the stringent requirements for operation in explosive atmospheres. This directive is essential for equipment intended for use in environments with a high risk of explosion due to the presence of flammable gases or dust.

Equipment categories Auto-line filters can comply with:

– Category 2 (Zone 1): Suitable for areas where explosive atmospheres caused by mixtures of air and flammable gases, vapors, or mists are likely to occur in normal operation occasionally.

– Category 3 (Zone 2): Designed for areas where explosive atmospheres are not likely to occur in normal operation but, if they do occur, will persist for a short period only.

ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU Marking: II 2/2 G Ex h IIB T4-T3 Gb/Gb

This marking indicates our systems’ compliance with the ATEX Directive, signifying:
– II: Equipment intended for use in places with an explosive gas atmosphere.
– 2/2: High level of protection, suitable for Zone 1 (G) and Zone 2 (G) areas.
– G Ex h: Protection by methods according to the equipment protection level (EPL) Gb, suitable for explosive gas atmospheres.
– IIB: Suitable for gases, vapors, and mists with an auto-ignition temperature greater than 135°C but less than 200°C.
– T4-T3: Temperature class, indicating the surface temperature limits of the equipment. T4 corresponds to a surface temperature limit of 135°C, and T3 corresponds to a limit of 200°C.
– Gb/Gb: Equipment protection level, indicating a high level of protection suitable for use in explosive gas atmospheres.

By adhering to these rigorous standards, our filtration systems offer reliable and safe operation in environments with explosive atmospheres, ensuring the safety of personnel and the protection of facilities in industries where flammable substances are processed or handled.
