ATEX-compliant powder bagging with air packers

In numerous process plants in the food and chemical industry, there are relevant explosion hazards due to dusty bulk materials. Fine powders and granulated substances, particularly in the case of organic or chemically reactive materials, and in our case also in filling and packaging systems, can form explosive atmospheres with ambient air if suitable protective measures are not taken. In accordance with the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU and the standards EN 60079-10-2 (classification of dust zones) and EN 1127-1 (explosion protection principles), technical systems that handle explosive dust atmospheres must be designed accordingly.
