SCAME - ATEX Products for electrical installation in hazardous areas

08-08-2023

The products dedicated to electrical installations in environments with potential explosion risk proposed by Scame fall within the scope of application of the ATEX Directive 2014/34 / EU. The Scame products for Ex environments offer solutions applicable to areas classified as zones 1 and 2 due to the presence of explosive gases and in the case of combustible powders, such as zones 21 and 22.

Scame has AEX, IECEx and UKCA certifications. An efficient in-house analysis and quoting service can support clients during the decision-making process, generating offers and feasibility studies in a short time. Thanks to production flexibility based on the principles of Lean Production and the use of highly qualified personnel and leading-edge machinery, the company can develop junction boxes and control stations in customised configurations based on client specifications, without necessarily the need for large production batches.

Skid assemblies, which are also the result of careful design and development, are available for applications in Ex environments, where the presence of gases, vapours, mists, and dust generated by production processes occur and where the choice of material and certified components prove critical, especially about the temperature class. Offering the possibility for configuration according to client specifications and easy and rapid installation without extended downtime, the skid assemblies proposed by Scame are based on the use of equipment mounted on sturdy base plates, sized to guarantee the correct distance between the various components so that their maximum surface temperature is lower than the ignition temperature of the substance present.

All these features, along with an accurate design and the adoption of the noblest raw materials such as GRP (Glass-fibre Reinforced Polyester) for the housing, make SCAME a reliable partner for hazardous environments.

SCAME ATEX Solutions Zone 21 / 22
