Residue-Free Big-Bag Emptying in Hazardous Areas – ATEX-Compliant Vibration Replaces Manual Work and Increases Safety
A chemical industry customer needed a way to completely empty Big-Bags weighing 1,000–2,000 kg – fully automated and safely in ATEX Zone 22. Previously, employees had to manually remove remaining material, which was time-consuming and risky.
- Hard-to-reach and sticking residues
- Operation in explosive environment (ATEX Zone 22)
- Automation of a previously manual process
Our solution
An NCT pneumatic turbine vibrator, specially designed for explosive environments, was installed. The vibrator is spark-free and meets the requirements of ATEX Zone 22. Strong, uniform vibration safely dislodges material residues. The vibrator can be easily integrated into existing emptying systems.
Our advantages
- Complete emptying of heavy Big-Bags
- Increased process safety in explosive environments
- Automated and reliable operation
- Significant relief for employees and improved workplace safety
