Extraction arm 4-PRO – Atex (EPX series)

The top range in the explosion-proof version (ATEX)

In compliance with ATEX regulation 2014/34/EU EX Group II, Category 2 Zone 1 and 21 (D/G)  or alternatively  (with the EPY series)  for Category 3 Zones 2 and 22 (D/G), the 4-Pro Atex extraction arm has been designed for the localized extraction of pollutants within potentially explosive environments.  The structure and main advantages remain the same as those of the large family of extraction arms 4-Pro.

The INDUSTRY model is available in 125 – 160 – 200 – 250 mm diameters and with a length of 2, 3 and 4 meters;  the LABORATORY model extraction arms are available in diameters of 100 and 125 mm and lengths of 1 and 2 meters.

Applications

The 4-Pro extraction arms in Atex execution are employed within multiple and diverse industrial and laboratory sectors among which:

• The food industry (mainly during the working processes of mixed food powders and more generally during the handling and transport of the material stored in the silos)
• the mechanical and carpentry industry (applications that generate metal powders especially during the machining of aluminium, magnesium, titanium, etc.)
• the transport industry (during processing and tests of Hi-Tech components, aircraft maintenance, hydrocarbon aspiration, etc.)
• the chemical industry (during applications in the presence of chemical reactions, solvents, use of explosive powders and liquids)
• the plastic industry (during the machining of micro-powders and micro-polymers)
• the paper industry (during the production steps which provide for the accumulation of potentially explosive dust).

Rotation and handling

The 360° revolving base plate and the three flexible joints ensure optimum, precise and easy handling of the 4-PRO extraction arm by the operator towards the source of pollutants. The support structure with four pantographs (patented by Airbravo) confers stability and robustness to the arm.

It can be supplied with or without exhaust fan.
