Bürkert Fluid Control Systems, a manufacturer of measuring, control and regulating systems for liquids and gases, with main offices in Canada, US, Brazil, Argentina and globally, has released its new Ex-product range for solenoid valves. Developed and reviewed according to the newest regulations, the Ex-product modular coil and valve concept fulfils all current requirements of the explosion protection standard EN 60079. The epoxy-encapsulated coil is designed to withstand harsh environments, such as Zones 1 and 21, or areas with especially aggressive ambient conditions. The chemical resistant polyolefin cable is also suitable for use in outdoor areas or gas stations.
The new explosion-proof junction box combines modern explosion protection with features that allow convenient installation with minimal cable requirements. The high-quality cast aluminium body with a resistant polyester resin coating withstands strong mechanical impact, a broad ambient temperature range from -40°c to +60°C and can be sealed by only one screw.
