ATEX-Pumps

When intended for use in areas with potentially explosive atmospheres, European Community Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX) requires equipment in conformity with ATEX standards. VACUUBRAND offers Category 2 chemistry diaphragm pumps and vacuum systems in conformity with ATEX (for use in zones where an explosive atmosphere is likely to occur). These chemistry diaphragm pumps are appropriate for such locations because they are highly resistant to chemicals, oil-free, have no sliding surfaces, and the expansion chamber is hermetically sealed against the drive zone. ATEX chemistry vacuum systems with solvent recovery provide safe, convenient vacuum while protecting the environment. The VACUUBRAND range of ATEX chemistry diaphragm pumps is supplemented by a series of ATEX vacuum gauges with excellent corrosion resistance and long-term stability. (Note: Compliance with EC Directive 94/9/EC does not ensure compliance with similar codes in countries outside of the EC. These pumps are not available in every location. Contact your local VACUUBRAND representative for availability.)
