Very little energy is needed to trigger an explosion in a dusty environment. Conveyor manufacturers do their utmost to prevent the formation of electric arcs. The modular screw Archimedys™Archimedys™ in its ATEX version is made of conductive polymers, enabling the static electricity generated by the moving material to be evacuated. One of our Swedish customers successfully used Archimedys™ to build a solid waste separator loaded with dust and solvents.
It's a real technological revolution currently experienced by manufacturers and operators of screw conveyors in dusty and explosive environments ATEX 20 with Archimedys™.
Archimedys™ and its many benefits
Featuring a simple, compact design, Archimedys™ is lighter in weight than a steel steel screw. This greatly facilitates installation and maintenance. The drive effort of the motorization is reduced, thus generating significant energy savings.
What's more, welding welding operations disappear! If the screw wears out, the damaged area is simply damaged area is simply replaced. Maintenance costs are considerably reduced.
The material used to make the modules is highly resistant to corrosion and a host of to a wide range of aggressive chemicals. Its resistance to abrasion is often even superior to that of steel!
Archimedys™ is suitable for industries looking for a high level of performance. It was awarded the "Prix de l'Innovation industrielle 2011" in 2011. For further for more information, don't hesitate to contact us. contact with us.
