In explosive areas, only operating materials with ATEX conformity may be used. VACUUBRAND offers chemistry diaphragm pumps and pumping units category 2 (for example, for zone 1) with ATEX conformity. Thanks to their high degree of chemical resistance, their oil-free operation, the absence of sliding surfaces, as well as the hermetic seal of the pump chamber against the drive zone, chemistry diaphragm pumps offer excellent conditions for avoiding sources of ignition. Chemistry diaphragm pumps with a separator (AK) and emission condenser (EK) for solvent recovery represent proven configurations for effectively reducing workloads and they protect the environment.
