Silo discharger ATEX approved
June 1st 2004

The award-winning Rotoflo range of silo discharge systems from Portasilo has been ATEX Category 1 approved for use in potentially explosive environments.

The Rotoflo discharger is certified for use in Group II (non-mining) applications for Category 1 (Zone 20 constantly dusty) internal hazard zones. It is further approved for Zone 21 (periodically dusty) and 22 (infrequently dusty, such as when equipment malfunctions) external areas.

The unit has a temperature rating of 80C, ensuring suitability for most powder and granular material that could produce a potentially explosive atmosphere.

Portasilo also offers a range of Augerflo screw bin dischargers and Osciflo oscillating bar bin dischargers to ATEX Category 2 standard.
