When manufacturing in potentially explosive or hazardous atmospheres, inspecting fine, powdered or granular chemical materials for metal contaminants requires choosing an equipment supplier with the necessary knowledge and experience.
Mettler Toledo's White Paper 'Explosion Protection for Metal Detectors - Ensuring Safety in Gravity Fall Applications' provides an overview of explosive protection in relation to metal detection, ensuring the highest levels of manufacturing safety are maintained.
The paper specifically discusses the varying ATEX guidelines and standards which govern Europe and the rest of the world.
The key areas outlined include:
- Explosive Proof Protection - the 3 stages of metal detection protection
- Playing it Safe - EU & ATEX directives
- Zone classification, temperatures and EX markings
- Safety first, Product approval in EX areas
Maintaining compliance to ATEX regulations during production ensures good manufacturing practices for enhanced product quality and safety.
