ATEX extraction: capturing combustible dust without ignition sources
When a process involves combustible dust (metals, flour, sugar, carbon) or solvent vapours, the extraction system itself can become a source of risk. Elptec ATEX products are designed to capture these contaminants without introducing ignition sources: conductive materials, continuous earthing and certification under Directive 2014/34/EU.
The range includes:
- extraction arms for explosive atmospheres, self-supporting, suitable for Zones 1 and 2 (gas) and Zones 21 and 22 (dust), in AISI 316 stainless steel or conductive plastics; diameters from Ø 75/100 mm for laboratories to Ø 160/200 mm for industry, reaches from 2 to 5 metres;
- TAV automatic and manual valves from Ø 50 to Ø 150 mm, with ATEX Category 3D versions for Zone 22: they only open while the tool is running, concentrate suction where it is needed and reduce energy use and wear on the central unit.
The acid-resistant stainless steel versions also suit chemical and pharmaceutical environments with strict hygiene requirements.
Zone classification and risk assessment are the employer's responsibility; we help you choose components consistent with that classification and with the properties of your dust. To protect filters and ducts against explosions, see also our explosion isolation systems. Request a quote.
