ELEVEX – EXPLOSION PROTECTION OF BUCKET ELEVATORS

Use of compact, sophisticated, highly effective and tested ELEVEX system is safe and effective
Control unit Explosion venting way to protect your bucket elevator against explosion effects.

ELEVEX is the effective solution of bulk an explosion in a bucket elevator or similar
material vertical transport explosion vertical transport system is long, and the
protection. ELEVEX reduces explosion probability the an explosion will occur during
pressure to an extremely low value, operation is high. Although use of this system
which means that even existing and used does not prevent origination of an explosion in
technologies can be safely protected in case an elevator, the actual explosion effects can

THE MOST FREQUENT INITIATION SOURCES ADVANTAGES:
IN BUCKET ELEVATORS ARE:
• Tested protection system
• Sparks caused by deviation of traction • High quality of used components
HRD container unit
system from its axis • Simple installation even onto already existing
• Sparks from the elevator drive or hot technologies
elevator surfaces caused by friction • Maximum protection with minimum costs
• Glowing particles introduced together with • Suitable also for high elevators
transported material
• Bearing friction, etc.

The ELEVEX system offers variability
protection for both internal and external
applications.
In case of explosion inside the elevator there is 2014/34/EU MEETS
not only a large risk of destruction of the whole ATEX 114 VDI 2263 - part 8
production technology, but mainly injury or
death of workers. In case that an unprotected
equipment is destroyed the Operator does not
face only incredibly high costs related to the
acquisition of a new elevator and renewing of MEETS MEETS
production, but also large downtime related CEN/TR 16829
to this replacement or renewal of technology.
