DECANTER CENTRIFUGES & PLANTS FOR SOLID/LIQUID SEPARATION DECANTER CENTRIFUGES FOR OPERATION IN THE ATEX INDUSTRY For performance in accordance with RL 2014/34/EU requirements HILLER decanters and equipment are used in many situations where protection from explosion is also necessary. For instance in many areas of industrial production where raw materials and environmental technology is used, and where products being processed may create a situation when an explosive atmosphere may be created. The appropriate equipment is necessary in order to protect people and equipment from the danger. As a German manufacturer, HILLER always uses ATEX (AT-mosphére EXplosive) as the basis for design. However, a design according to countryspecific requirements (e.g. according to NEC 500 or NEC 505) is also possible. USAGE EXAMPLES for explosion protection equipment ■ during the classifying of colour pigments in a benzine suspension ■ in the use of alcohol-soaked herbs and root extracts ■ during the chemical separation of intermediate products of acetone ■ during the separation of a methanol wash from a salt suspension ■ during the processing of waste from the mineral oil industry Explosion protected HILLER decanters and associated equipment are certified for RL 2014/34/EU requirements and are available for a variety of Ex-zones, gas groups and temperature classes.

EXPLOSION PROTECTION In the design of the explosion protected equipment the following general requirements are decisive: the level of liklihood of an explosion whether the processing of the product can result in an explosive atmosphere (e.g. via outgassing, fine atomisation, etc.) RELY ON OUR LONG YEARS OF EXPERIENCE Depending on the application/ process, the concept „explosion-protection“ can include a wide range of measures. In the simplest cases the use of explosionprotected drive motors and instruments is sufficient. With the increasing potential for danger the demands are on design and construction...
