1.1 Area classification
E-PAK 150 DX/300 DX/500 DX is designed to extract combustible and non-
combustible dust, but the unit "as a whole" is not to be placed in an area that is
classified as a zone according to directive 1999/92/EC. It is only the inside of
the filter that meets ATEX requirements.
E-PAK 150 DX/300 DX/500 DX may be used with duct systems internally
classified as zone 20, 21 or 22.
The product has no
inside is to be considered a simple filter/silo and does not fall under the scope
of the directive 94/9/ EC.*
*Source: ATEX working group considerations; "How should the directive be
applied to filter units and vented silo bins."
1.2 Permitted materials
NOTE!
It is of the utmost importance to know the properties of the extracted
material.
E-PAK 150 DX/300 DX/500 DX is intended to be a part of an extraction
system collecting material with the following properties:
• MIE (Minimum Ignition Energy) > 3 mJ.
• MIT (Minimum Ignition Temperature) > 205 ºC.
• Kst: See the product identification plate.
• Pmax: See the product identification plate.
Materials with properties not within the values stated above or if a
suppression system is used are to be investigated prior to use with
E-PAK 150 DX/300 DX/500 DX. Contact Nederman for technical support and
dust application investigation.
WARNING!
Do not collect material that may cause ignition or blocking. It is strictly
prohibited to collect material that may undergo dangerous chemical or thermal
reactions and/or self-ignite.
NOTE!
Some materials may undergo chemical reactions in combination with
humidity/water. Such humidity may, for example, form if the humidity in the
extracted air is condensed in the filter.
WARNING!
Do make any changes to this product without consulting Nederman. Adding
a relief duct or changing the spacing or length of filter elements affects the
