ATEX approved fans & blowers
February 15th 2009 ATEX industrial fans, blowers and exhausters from Air Control Industries (ACI) of Chard, comply with the very latest stringent ATEX Directive 94/9/EC. This means the company's products meet all appropriate 'Ex' safety standards adopted across the European Union.
Approved fan and blower units are manufactured in a range of materials, including stainless steel, galvanised steel and aluminium. For even more rigorous environments, such as marine applications, special paint finishes are available.
All ACI certified fan units are specifically for Group II, Category 2 and are designed for use in areas where explosive atmospheres are likely to occur. The performance parameters of available units are airflows from 50 to 4500m3/h, and pressures from 0.25 to 3.25kPa.
ACI products were certified by Sira (Certificate Number Sira 03ATEX9174), an independent certification service.
ACI certification covers: Category 2 (high level of protection); Zone 1 (a place where an explosive atmosphere is likely to occur in normal operation occasionally); and Zone 2 (areas where an explosive atmosphere is not likely to occur in normal operation but if it does, will persist for a short period only).
