COUPLINGS FOR ATEX APPLICATIONS IN POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS
R+W Couplings can be obtained with ATEX certifications regardless of the application type or size, ranging from high precision dynamic drives to large industrial construction models.
The applications can often be quite unique and demanding. According to the ATEX directive 2014/34/EU, components such as coupling that are used in explosive environments need to be tested for these specific operating conditions. For this reason, R+W completes on-site testing and ATEX certifications for many couplings from its product portfolio.
Many types of customers can be supported with these special certified couplings. For example, a manufacturer of dispersing machines can use ATEX couplings in the production of suspensions and emulsions. The machinery is in constant contact with dust and powders that have a very low ignition point, making this a perfect application for an electrically conductive elastomer insert that eliminates the possibility of a discharge between the coupling hubs.
