ATEX product and service range extended
Following recent ATEX certification of
the LabTecta bearing protection prod-
uct range, AESSEAL has additionally
announced ATEX certification of all its
standard mechanical seals.
The products are certified to comply
with ATEX directive 94/9/EC, and are
backed by an ATEX assessment and
support service included at no addi-
tional charge to the customer.
ATEX is the certification that allows
product installation in environments
with potentially explosive atmospheres.
It is extensively specified in applications
throughout South Africa and Europe.
Compliance was achieved after
considerable investment in develop-
ing the necessary technical expertise,
experience and know-how to assess
ATEX applications and ensure compli-
ance with this standard as well as ISO
29001.
AESSEAL is actively involved with
various industry bodies to ensure that
the mechanical seal industry properly
advises its users in hazardous area
applications.
The AESSEAL range of mechanical
seals and seal support systems is
suitable for a wide range of industries
including oil and gas, mining, water
and wastewater, power generation,
pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food
and beverage.
