Product catalog summary
Introduction
VETTER Umformtechnik GmbH, a leading European manufacturer, offers a range of QualityForks designed for use in hygiene and ex-proof areas. These forks are made in Germany and are known for their high-quality materials and workmanship.

Specifications
PROTECT claddings are available in brass or stainless steel, with a cladding thickness of approximately 4 mm, increasing the fork section by about 10 mm in width and thickness. The claddings are designed to leave the inner heel section accessible for inspection.

Applications
1. Hygiene Areas: Solid stainless steel forks are ideal for industries like food, pharmaceuticals, and fisheries due to their resistance to bacteria, corrosion, and dirt.
2. Ex-proof Areas: Forks in these areas must meet high safety standards to prevent explosions caused by sparks in explosive atmospheres. PROTECT claddings are certified for such environments.

Certifications and Standards
PROTECT claddings are certified by ZELM EX according to RL94/9EG (ATEX) for component group II, category 2, covering gas and dust hazards. They comply with several norms, including 94/9/EG, 2006/42/EG, EN13463-1, and DIN EN 1755.

DuplEx Cladding
DuplEx claddings use two different materials (brass and stainless steel) to allow immediate visual determination of wear, enhancing safety and reducing the need for extensive measurements.

Company Overview
VETTER has over 50 years of experience in fork production, offering a wide range of products with load capacities from 1 to 120 tons. The company emphasizes quality, environmental protection, and labor standards, ensuring continuous improvement and innovation.
