Course of action at Keller Lufttechnik to adhere to the explosion protection guidelines

For Keller Lufttechnik as fabricator of systems with explosive zones, the ATEX guideline 94/9/EC resp. the German realization by means of the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health is absolutely relevant. Requirements to systems and protective systems for explosive zones are described here (for example which ATEX system category in the respective explosive zone may be used). Keller Lufttechnik creates a “hazard analysis” for dust collection systems in which the preset explosive characteristics and zone divisions are reported. Originating therefrom, explosion protection measures are designed for the dust collection system. Basis are generally measures to avoid ignition sources like for example potential equalization and utilization of systems with suitable ATEX category. When this is not sufficient, additional constructive explosion protection measures like pressure-proof construction with pressure relief and decoupling of connected components are taken into consideration.
