ATEX Zone 2 loading bay equipment installed
October 1st 2011

Coatings supplier to the metal packaging industry Valspar (UK) Corporation relies upon an installation of loading bay equipment from Stertil Stokvis to ensure safe and efficient operation within an Atex Zone 2 area at its manufacturing and distribution site at Deeside in Flintshire,Wales.

Atex Zones are areas which must be protected from effective sources of ignition and are classified into numbered zones: 0, 1, 2 for gasvapour- mist and 20, 21, 22 for dust.

Equipment and protective systems to be used in zoned areas must meet specific regulatory requirements.

Atex Zone 2 classification relates to the installation of equipment and machinery and Stertil Stokvis was chosen to supply loading bay equipment which would fully meet the requirements of the directive.

The Deeside operation sees an average of 25 trailers and container vehicles a week arriving to load and unload palletised drums and IBCs.

The equipment supplied and installed by Stertil Stokvis included a six tonne capacity telescopic lip dock leveller - type XP22-21, a WI fullyinflatable dock shelter, a roller shutter door, specially-extended PE dock bumpers and a Combilok vehicle restraint system.

"Due to the location of the loading bay at the Deeside site, full compliance with all Atex Zone 2 requirements was essential," says Paul Thomas of Valspar Europe. "We had confidence in Stertil Stokvis as our equipment supplier because of their long experience and reputation for quality and reliability. Their pricing was competitive too." Stertil Stokvis has over 40 years' experience in loading bays and dock areas.
