All manual and electric winches from Gebuwin are available with ATEX certification for zones 2 and 22. Below, we delve deeper into the specific coding for the manual winches:
Specific coding
The codings have the following meanings:
- CE marking in accordance with the European Machinery Directive.
- Ex marking for explosion safety.
- Group II for use in all environments (industrial use) except mining.
-
Category 3, indicating the protection level and suitability for:
- G (gas environments)
- D (dust environments)
Followed by ‘Ex’ (explosion-proof).
-
Suitable for:
- II (Gas Group II)
- III (Dust Group III)
Our marine (MR) winches have a higher ignition energy (IIB) in the gas group than our worm gear and spur gear (WW/TL) winches (IIC).
The ignition energy for the dust group is the same for all types of winches, namely IIIC.
-
Temperature class for:
- T4 (temperature <135 ºC), T135ºC (temperature <135 ºC)
- T3 (temperature <200 ºC), T200ºC (temperature <200 ºC)
Our worm gear and marine (WW/MR) winches have a T4 marking. Our spur gear (TL) winches have a T3 marking.
-
Equipment Protection Level:
- Gc (gas) or Dc (dust)
- Ambient temperature for operation between -20ºC and 70ºC.
*This coding is established in accordance with the 2014/34/EU (ATEX 114) standard.
Gebuwin manual winches can also be used with a pneumatic motor AM5000, which is also ATEX certified. If you are not familiar with the requirements for ATEX certification, let us advise you. Contact us for more information.
