Elesa expands further into ATEX-compliant hydraulic components
Elesa says its breather cap product extension provides solutions that redefine the functionality of sealing hydraulic tank fillers, alongside a new ATEX-compliant range, reflecting the company's commitment to industry-leading safety standards.
The breather caps enable smooth air interchange as fluid is channelled to or from the hydraulic reservoir. With their labyrinth geometry, they act as a robust barrier to spillage, perfect for equipment used at variable angles or machines in transit.
Further, in response to the ATEX regulations, Elesa has introduced a series of hydraulic components designed specifically for systems adhering to these stringent guidelines. This range is beneficial to various sectors, including pumps, anti-spark installations, oil and gas, water and sewage, petrochemical plants, mines and flour mills. The ATEX range includes:
GN 743.6 oil level indicators: Made with aluminium and featuring ESG safety glass with FKM Viton sealing ring
SFP+a-EX breather caps: Incorporating a splash guard and flat dipstick for added functionality
TN-EX equipment plugs: Crafted in glass-reinforced technopolymer with NBR synthetic sealing rings
These components, laser engraved and supplied with a comprehensive instruction/safety leaflet, allow users to integrate them into systems in accordance with Health and Safety Requirements under the 94/9/EC ATEX European Directive (explosive atmospheres) for equipment in Group II, category 2GD.
Additional offerings and customisation
Elesa continues to provide versatility through a variety of options, including neutral caps, coloured caps and adjustable threaded fixing. Two designs, SFX and SFX+a, cater to varied industrial applications.
