The
ATEX directive consists of two European Union directives that describe what equipment is allowed in an explosive atmosphere. The
Wilden metallic X Series pumps comply with ATEX 94/9/EC Group I, category M2 and Group II, category 2, zones G and D. Wilden’s plastic X Series pumps comply with ATEX 94/9EC Group II, category 2, zone G.
Wilden also offers a range of metal and plastic pumps, whose parts feature a special ATEX marking that indicates the suitable ATEX categories where the pump can be installed. The pumps' Retrofit Kits utilize the Accu-Flo, Turbo-Flo, Pro-Flo and Pro-Flo V air-distribution systems and are constructed of electrically and statically dissipative materials, with a wide variety of appropriate elastomer options.
