This system provides feeding and mixing in hazardous areas
The Turbo Compact Mixing (TCM) module (photo, p. 22) meets ATEX requirements for operation in hazardous environments. The TCM is suitable for installation in ATEX zone 20 internal and zones 21 and 22 external in areas where an explosive atmosphere with a cloud of combustible dust is likely to occur or remain present continuously or for long periods of time during normal operation. The explosion-safe TCM integrates continuous mixing with the company’s gravimetric loss-in-weight (LIW) inline feeder to automatically meter precise amounts of dry material into the companion continuous mixer for fast, gentle mixing on a compact footprint. — Gericke USA, Inc., Somerset, N.J.
