We specialize in manufacturing Atex Cable Glands, which are essential components for ensuring the secure entry of electrical cables into hazardous environments. These specialized glands are meticulously designed to meet Atex certification standards, guaranteeing explosion protection and enhancing safety in industries like oil & gas, petrochemical, mining, and pharmaceutical sectors.
Understanding Atex Certification for Cable Glands
The term Atex refers to two European directives aimed at regulating equipment and protective systems intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. Our Atex cable glands are designed to meet these strict safety standards, ensuring compliance with Directive 2014/34/EU. We manufacture glands that protect against ignition sources, preventing potential explosions in hazardous zones.
Types of Atex Cable Glands We Offer
1. Atex Barrier Cable Glands
Our Atex barrier glands provide additional sealing around the cable cores using a special compound, ensuring the highest level of explosion protection. These glands are ideal for applications requiring flameproof or increased safety measures.
2. Atex Armored Cable Glands
We manufacture Atex armored cable glands suitable for SWA (Steel Wire Armored) cables. These glands secure the armor and ensure electrical continuity, providing robust protection in extreme industrial environments.
3. Atex Unarmored Cable Glands
Our Atex unarmored glands cater to cables without armor, providing sealing and retention while maintaining explosion protection compliance.
