Configurable explosion proof safety interlocks

Explosion proof safety interlocks

Explosion-proof safety switches

Explosion-proof safety switches are essential in industrial applications where there is a risk of gas or dust explosions. Models such as the Alfred and compact Steute ATEX safety switches provide reliable protection against sparks and flashover thanks to their robust enclosures and ATEX certification. This ensures compliance with stringent safety requirements, even under extreme conditions.

The explosion-proof design makes these safety switches suitable for a wide range of industries, from chemical plants to oil and gas installations. An explosion-proof safety switch not only increases workplace safety but also helps ensure the continuity and efficiency of your production process.

Hazardous environments

Aflred range safety interlocks are specially designed for the most extreme industrial environments.

Alfred safety components are fully 316 stainless steel, suitable for Ex zones 1 / 21 / 2 /22, Max. surface temperatures up to +85ºC (T6), ingress protected to IP67 and IP69K, and able to withstand 10.000N retention force. This is the safety door interlock for applications where all others fail.

Suitable for Ex Zone 1 / 21 / 2 / 22

The explosion proof safety switch body is specially desgined for it purpose. tested and certfied by a 3rd party notified body complying with Ex (ATEX), IECEx, CCC and SGS US.

Ex II 2 G (flammable gas, EU and UK)
Ex II 2 D (combustible dust, EU and GB)
Ex dB h IIC T6 Gb IP67 (flammable gas, regions with IECEx regulations)
Ex tB h IIIC T6 Db IP67 (combustable dust, regions with IECEx regulations)

Combine with trapped key solutions

Due to its modular design Alfred safety interlock can easily be combined with key interlocks and door locks of the amGard S40 product range for maximum flexibility.

The modularity also allows for the replacement of defect head units, actuators and key modules without the need for replacing the safety switch body.
