ATEX Safety in the Chemical Industry
ATEX directives are the backbone of safety requirements for equipment used in explosive atmospheres. Trantec’s ATEX-certified equipment is a testament to our commitment to these stringent safety standards, providing peace of mind and safeguarding operations.
Corrosion Resistance – Components are made from materials that resist corrosion caused by aggressive chemicals, ensuring that the equipment remains reliable and functional over the long term, even when exposed to harsh substances.
Chemical Compatibility – Materials are chosen based on their non-reactivity with the substances they will come into contact with, preventing dangerous chemical reactions. This prevents dangerous chemical reactions that could compromise safety and equipment integrity, ensuring smooth and safe operation in various industrial processes.
Durable Materials – Manufactured from high-quality metals such as 304 or 316 stainless steel, known for their durability and resistance to mechanical stress and chemical exposure.
Interchangeable Parts – Designed with modular components that can be easily removed and swapped out for cleaning or maintenance. It also allows for continuous operation and makes equipment more accessible to repair or upgrade, ensuring it remains versatile and adaptable to changing needs.
Smooth Surfaces – Trantec equipment is constructed from stainless steel with a non-porous surface capable of resisting chemical absorption and staining. This characteristic is crucial for preventing contamination and ensuring the equipment can be cleaned efficiently and effectively.
Crevice-free design – The equipment features polished, crevice-free welds that enhance hygiene by eliminating areas where contaminants could accumulate. This design not only reduces the risk of contamination but also simplifies the cleaning process, ensuring that the equipment meets the highest standards of cleanliness.
Versatile across industries – Trantec equipment is designed to handle diverse materials, making it suitable for various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and more. This versatility empowers companies to use the same high-quality equipment across different applications, ensuring consistent performance and reliability.
Reduced downtime – The innovative quick-release mechanism of Trantec equipment allows for rapid disassembly and reassembly, significantly cutting down maintenance and cleaning downtime. This efficiency simplifies maintenance procedures and ensures that all parts of the equipment that come into contact with chemicals can be cleaned appropriately.
