ATEX compliant
Selected products from the icotek cable entry systems available from M Buttkereit have been certified to comply with the EU Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX), for equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres of zones 1 and 21.
The ATEX (Ex) directive applies to all explosive industrial atmospheres including mining, with the icotek range of cable entry systems being suitable for zones G (gas) and D (dust) in equipment group II, category 2, certified to the ATEX directive.
The specific icotek products now ATEX rated cover two sets of cable entry frames being the KEL ATEX and the KEL-ER ATEX. These are split frame systems which are utilised with varied split grommet inserts to accommodate both un-terminated and pre-terminated cabling in a wide range of cable diameter options.
Reduced installation times can be achieved while retaining the pre-terminated cable warranties, and also ensuring that any retro-fitting of cabling or routine maintenance can be quickly and easily accommodated. With a range of frames and inserts being available, high packing densities can be achieved.
