This is precisely why explosion protection is not a \u201cnice-to-have,\u201d but a central component of safe process design.<\/p>\n<p>At TBH, we understand explosion protection for what it is: <b>consistent protection of human beings, the environment, and machinery<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h2><b><strong>ATEX in practice: Assessing risks, implementing measures<\/strong><\/b><\/h2>\n<p>As an operator, you are required to assess the risk and define the <b>ATEX zones<\/b>. In the case of dust, this typically refers to <b>zones 20 to 22<\/b>, depending on how often and for how long an explosive atmosphere can occur.<\/p>\n<p>To turn this obligation into a clean process, you need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a clear assessment of the dust (material data, process conditions),<\/li>\n<li>a suitable technical solution,<\/li>\n<li>and documentation that describes the entire system in a comprehensible manner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b><strong>TBH FP 200 ATEX: developed for Zone 21 and higher dust quantities<\/strong><\/b><\/h2>\n<p>If your process generates <b>large quantities of dry, combustible dust<\/b>, a robust extraction system tailored to the application is crucial. The <b>TBH FP 200 ATEX systems<\/b> are designed for this purpose and support stable operation \u2013 even in demanding dust situations.<\/p>\n<p>Key features:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Complies with the requirements of the <b>ATEX Directive (RL 2014\/34\/EU)<\/b><\/li>\n<li>Suitable for <b>extraction from Zone 21<\/b> \u2013 the system must be installed <b>outside<\/b> the zone<\/li>\n<li>Suitable for <b>non-metallic dusts<\/b> with a <b>minimum ignition energy greater than 3 mJ<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Important:<\/b> Whether the system is suitable for your specific application depends on the substance to be extracted and must be assessed <b>individually by you as the operator<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Documentation that really helps you: Sample explosion protection document<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Explosion protection does not end with the system \u2013 the interaction between the <b>extraction system and the customer&#8217;s environment<\/b> is crucial. That is why you receive a <b>special sample explosion protection document<\/b> that enables you to assess the <b>entire system<\/b> in a structured manner and to document the necessary steps in a comprehensible way.<\/p>\n<h2><b>In summary<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>If you work with <b>non-metallic, combustible dusts<\/b> and Zone 21 issues are relevant, a clear three-step approach has proven effective:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Assess zones &amp; risks<\/b> (substance + process)<\/li>\n<li><b>Design suitable ATEX extraction<\/b> (e.g., FP 200 ATEX)<\/li>\n<li><b>Document the entire system clearly<\/b> (using the sample explosion protection document as a basis)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><b>Would you like to check whether the FP 200 ATEX systems are suitable for your dust and process?<\/b><\/h3>\n<h3>Send us the most important key data (material, process, zone, volume flow) \u2013 we will help you classify your application.<\/h3>\n<p>TBH GmbH | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tbh.eu\/\">www.tbh.eu<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Short video on the topic: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/SQVtiGc_Eb4?feature=share\">https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/SQVtiGc_Eb4?feature=share<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ATEX is mandatory for non-metallic dusts \u2013 and can be easily planned with the right structure: assess zones and risks, design a suitable extraction solution (e.g., FP 200 ATEX), and document the entire system clearly \u2013 including a sample explosion protection document.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":23689,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"kategorien":[],"class_list":["post-24227","blog","type-blog","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
