Explosion Venting ETX™

Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The ETX™ is an autonomous safety device designed for explosion venting, particularly in drying processes within the food industry. It is certified according to ATEX 2014/34/EU and features trace heating.
Applications: The ETX™ is crucial in environments where explosive atmospheres are likely, such as in ring dryers, to prevent post-explosion fires by self-reclosing and cutting off oxygen supply.
Mechanism: The device operates on an air cushion principle, allowing the hinged lid to open quickly during an explosion and then return to its closed position, ensuring readiness for subsequent use.
Advantages: Key benefits include prevention of post-explosion fires, self-reclosing capability, reusability, high venting efficiency, and optional trace heating to prevent snow and ice accumulation.
Technical Specifications: The ETX™ features a housing made of 1.4404, a silicon gasket with FDA approval, and a variable burst pressure. It is suitable for dust explosion classes St1 and St2, with a total weight of 48 kg and a door lid weight of 9 kg. The geometric vent area is 0.4 m², with venting efficiency ranging from 93% to 100% depending on the KSt value.
Installation Recommendations: For optimal pressure relief, the ETX™ should be attached to the deflection hood or ring duct in ring dryers, placed above the immersion pipe in cyclones, and below filter elements in bag filters.
Environmental Conditions: The device operates effectively in ambient temperatures from -40 °C to +50 °C, with heating required for temperatures below 0 °C. The process temperature can reach up to +160 °C.

PRODUCT INFORMATION Explosion Venting SELF-RECLOSING AND REUSABLE EXPLOSION DOOR Applications GBPI-ETX-19063/0 | © REMBE® | All rights reserved | Valid from 02.04.2019 | Subject to technical change without notice Drying processes in the food industry are often associated with the generation of explosive atmospheres. The applicaton of explosion protective systems is imperative, in particular due to the high probability-occurrence of glowing embers and hot surfaces. As a result of the function-related elongated design of ring dryers, post-explosion-fires in ring dryers are boosted by the so-called chimney effect, if the pressure relief devices remain open after an explosion. The REMBE® explosion door ETX™ prevents post-explosion-fires by self-reclosing after the explosion pressure has been relieved, thus preventing the supply of oxygen to the air. After successful relief the ETX™ will remain undamaged and will be ready for the next usage. Certified in accordance with Inspection certificate Mechanism The explosion door ETX™ is based on the air cushion principle. In the event of an explosion, the hinged lid will open extremely quickly, and will then be stopped by the integrated baffle plate. The integrated air cushion dampens the transmission of the kinetic energy to the rigid parts of the ETX™, and ensures that the lid of the ETX™ returns to its original, closed normal position after the explosion pressure has been relieved.
