Off-the-shelf ATEX gearboxes

4 April, 2007

Fenner gearboxes and gearmotors have been awarded certification for use in ATEX Zones 1 and 2 (gas) and Zones 21 and 22 (dust) atmospheres, allowing WYKO to provide off-the-shelf drive solutions for customers in the processing and offshore industries. Fenaflex coupling and spacer assemblies have also been certified for use in ATEX Zones 1 & 2, removing the danger or igniting and re-igniting explosive gas atmospheres.

Both the M, C and F series of Fenner standard gearboxes, and the high efficiency K series gearmotors are all now Ex compliant.

Providing a link between motor/ gearbox and pump, the Fenaflex tyre couplings feature FRAS (Fire Resistant Anti-Static) rubber tyres which avoid the build up of static electricity that could be a source of ignition, and are made of fire resistant rubber, preventing ignition.
