Allweiler Pumps approved for explosive atmospheres; new ATEX certificate for dust

摘要

For many years progressing cavity pumps, peristaltic pumps, and macerators manufactured by Allweiler have fulfilled the requirements for use in potentially explosive gaseous atmospheres when used properly. But now, as of the end of 2008, they are also certified for use in dust-laden explosive atmospheres. The ATEX certificate confirms that Allweiler pumps now fully comply with EU directive 94/9/EC "Explosion Protection" when used in accordance with specifications. This directive requires proper documentation for all new installations and initial start-ups of equipment in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres.
