Mixers and agitators upgrade to ATEX approval
Chemineer can now upgrade mixers and agitators to ATEX approval for use in Zone Zero hazardous areas.
ATEX Zone 1 adherence has already been achieved by Chemineer's XP, MR, HS and Greerco high shear mixers.
The directive applies to equipment that has its own source of ignition; is intended for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere (air mixtures); and is under normal atmospheric conditions.
In addition to meeting the ATEX Directive, Chemineer has also recently achieved compliance with ASME-BPE quality, which demonstrates an exemplary standard for manufacturing high purity equipment ideally suited to critical industries.
This followed Chemineer successfully becoming one of the very first designers and manufacturers of mixers and agitators to achieve the stringent requirements of the EU's new Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) - an important safety issue often overlooked by some contractors.
