Explosion-proof systems
Safety is a central component in plant construction. We offer comprehensive solutions for machinery directives, IT security and explosion protection in accordance with international standards.
Plant safety – Our top priority
In plant engineering, system safety is our top priority. It protects employees, prevents environmental damage and maintains productivity. When developing process engineering plants, we take all safety guidelines into account and exceed legal requirements. Our experts use modern technologies and integrate protective measures into every plant. Safety is an investment in the future of your company.
Sicherheit beginnt bei der Konstruktion
Machine guidelines
Our systems meet the highest European standards, in particular the European Union's Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (DIN EN ISO 12100 standard). This requires that every machine be safe to operate. During the design phase, we analyze all potential hazards and take the necessary protective precautions. Further guidelines for risk assessment are꞉
The protection objectives of the following additional directives
- 2014/35/EU Low Voltage Directive
- 2014/34/EU Directive for potentially explosive atmospheres
- 2014/30/EU EMC Directive
- 2014/68/EU Pressure Equipment Directive
Safety features
Our systems are equipped with emergency stop buttons, emergency stop switches and sensors. These ensure smooth operation and prevent accidents.
Training and instructions
In addition to developing safe machines, we place a high value on providing your employees with comprehensive training. We also provide easy-to-understand instructions.
Schutz vor digitalen Bedrohungen
IT security
As modern systems and machines become increasingly interconnected, robust cyber security measures are needed to avoid operational disruptions and unauthorized access. Our approach to IT security ensures that your production systems are secured by modern protective measures and comply with current legal requirements.
Our security concept is continuously developed to comprehensively protect your systems from current and future threats.
Sicheres Arbeiten in gefährdeten Bereichen
Explosion protection
Explosion protection according to ATEX, IECEx and HazLoc – safety at the highest level
We offer explosion protection solutions that are internationally recognized and certified. Our systems meet the requirements of the ATEX 2014/34/EU directive for the protection of workers in potentially explosive atmospheres.
In addition, our systems are tested and certified according to the global IECEx certification system. This system allows you to use your systems safely in potentially explosive atmospheres worldwide, including outside the EU, for example in Australia, Brazil, China and Canada.
We also apply the highest safety standards in North America. In the United States and Canada, we work in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), specifically Articles 500 and 505, which classify hazardous areas and define safety requirements. We offer comprehensive protection for hazardous areas under the term HazLoc (Hazardous Locations).
Your added value:
- Globally recognized: Our ATEX and IECEx certifications enable international operation in explosion-prone areas.
- Trust: Certifications guarantee reliability and safety, which strengthens the trust of your customers.
- Investment: With certified explosion protection, you minimize the risk of business interruptions.
Schutz vor aggressiven Substanzen
Chemical resistance
Many industrial processes use aggressive chemicals that can severely impact the components of the systems. Our systems are designed to function reliably even in extreme environments and to withstand chemical exposure. We only use high-quality materials specially developed for chemically aggressive environments. This ensures the safety of employees and guarantees the longevity of the systems.
Examples of systems that have been built and put into operation with critical raw materials include nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid, ammonium hydroxide and hydrogen peroxide.
Your reliable WHG specialist company
As an experienced WHG specialist company, we place great value on the correct implementation of the regulations in accordance with the German Federal Water Act (WHG) and the German Water Pollutant Control Regulations (AwSV). We advise our customers on all relevant issues and take care of providing the required documentation. We also offer comprehensive services such as the recalibration of overflow sensors to ensure the long-term safety and functionality of the systems.
