Explosion Proof Actuators
Explosion Proof Actuators are the masters of industrial orchestration, commanding and controlling all the moving parts that make your plant function. They are the guardians of the most dangerous environments, protecting people and equipment from the deadly effects of flammable gases.
Designed to be safe in hazardous areas, these electric actuators are ideal for use with industrial valves and dampers. They have been certified to meet the requirements of ATEX and IECEx. Their construction and design help them prevent sparks, hot surfaces, and the ignition of flammable gases.
They are suitable for Zone 1 and Zone 2 environments containing gases like hydrogen, and combustible dust atmospheres. They also work well in the more remote, rural locations that rely on solar power or batteries to run their gas pipelines. Their fail-safe features reset to a predetermined position during a power outage, keeping things in the safest possible state.
The explosion proof surface of the shell prevents internal sparks or explosive carriers from coming into contact with other equipment or the outside world. This is important, because the energy generated by the ignition of the flammable gas may cause significant damage. This means that a large gap should be left between the explosive surface and other equipment to ensure that this is not the case.
Electrical sparks are a common source of ignition for machines and tools around many facilities. This is why non-sparking, explosion proof equipment is so popular, as it can reduce the risk of accidents and injuries caused by these ignition sources. It is also important to note that observing best practices in the use of non-sparking equipment may be able to help ensure that these features continue to function as intended. This includes ensuring that non-sparking equipment is kept away from ferrous materials, which can create volatile acetylides when they come into contact with each other.
