What is an ATEX Compliant Mixing Vessel?
ATEX certification is required when mixing high-ethanol content products, or those with potentially flammable ingredients – to ensure no static can build up and spark during the mixing process, which eliminates the risk of an explosion.
ATEX compliance is achieved by – amongst other aspects – excluding any electrics in our designs. We use air motors instead of electric motors, and speed control is via a pressure regulator.
ATEX compliant mixing vessels control the risk from potentially flammable Gasses – for example, vapours given off by a solvent which mix with oxygen in the air, or Dusts – such as flour, chemical dusts or metal powders.
Which Applications Required ATEX Compliant Mixing?
Pharmaceutical applications including tablet coatings usually incorporate ethanol, which is mixed with a powder – then the ethanol evaporates leaving the powder behind. Other applications we have previously created vessels for include Medicated confectionery, Animal tranquilizer, Epoxies, Resins and other coatings – Perfumes, Cleansers and Toners often incorporate ethanol, as do Hand sanitizers.
Chemicals and agrochemical applications frequently require ATEX compliant mixing processes, including companies manufacturing household cleaners, white spirit and other cleaners.
Food and beverage manufacturers use ATEX compliant vessels to blend high ethanol-content products such as flavoured spirits and cocktails.
