ATEX certificated products to directive 94/9/EC requirements

A comprehensive range of accessories for use within many areas of industry are available. jbj Techniques have been manufacturing the range of JXL anti-static couplings and cast iron bellhousings in the UK since 1984, specifically for use in hazardous areas. Directive 94/9/EC II2GD-IM2-T6, Harmonised standards EN13463-4, EN13463-5, EN50303, EN13463-1 The cast iron range of bellhousings, prefix GG is also available in high strength (SG) iron, prefix GGG, in addition we produce this range to suit NEMA motor flange dimensions without the use of adaptor plates. These bellhousings are a one-piece component founded in the UK with minimal (trace) aluminium, magnesium, titanium and zirconium content. Final machining is effected at jbj premises. In some instances a steel flange may be bolted to the pump mounting face to facilitate the fitment of larger pumps. The bellhousings have been subject to a 20 Joule impact test with no damage noted. If required the housings can be supplied with full chemical analysis and test bars. This must be requested at the time of ordering. Anti-static Couplings 'JXL' torsionally resilient couplings, of pin and bush design, comprise two fully machined steel flanges which are coupled via a series of drive pins and 'hytrel' flexible elements. The elements have the ability to absorb shock loads and dampen vibration. The couplings do not produce static and do not sustain burning. Maximum shaft diameters up to 400mm with torques of 300,000Nm and speeds upto 11,000rpm can be accommodated. Flywheel Couplings ATEX certificated to directive 94/9/EC requirements Float switches types 1E-AN1 and 1E-AN2. Terminal boxes used on the jbj range of hazardous area float switches types IE-AN1 and IE-AN2 are the type SDB-14 and have been ATEX certificated at source by the manufacturer in accordance with the requirements specified within directive 94/9/EC. Thermostat types TRI supplied by jbj are ATEX certificated at source by the manufacturer in accordance with the requirements specified within directive 94/9/EC. Thermostat's probe is protected on model TA by an external sheath while on models TR and TS by a double sheath; the internal one explosion-proof equipment while the external one is a watertight sheath. 94/9/EC ATEX directive in accordance with the following standards: EN 50014 (1997) + A1 e A2, EN 50018 (2000), EN 50281-1-1 (1999) + A1.
