ATEX fans: discover the new CMC line for explosive areas

 

CMC introduces new ATEX-certified fans: more safety in explosive areas. Find out more, read the news.

In many industrial sectors, such as chemical, pharmaceutical, agribusiness, logistics and waste management, working in contact with flammable gases, vapors or dust is part of everyday life.

 

In these environments, even a small error or failure, such as an overheated surface or electrical malfunction, can turn a work area into a high-risk explosion zone.

 

For this reason, CMC has developed a line of ATEX-certified fans designed to ensure safe and continuous air exchange even in high-hazard environments.

 

Robust, reliable and resistant to the most extreme conditions, CMC's ATEX fans are a concrete answer for those who work every day in environments where safety and prevention are not options, but priorities.

 

What is ATEX certification and why it is essential

 

The acronym ATEX refers to the European directives that regulate the use of equipment in explosive atmospheres. An ATEX-certified fan is not just an industrial device: it is an instrument designed according to strict standards, capable of operating safely even in the presence of flammable substances.

 

But when is an environment actually considered “at risk of explosion”? To answer this, it is helpful to know how hazardous areas are classified.

 

How are hazardous areas classified?

 

To understand where and when you need to use ATEX-certified fans, it is essential to know how hazardous areas are defined.

According to the ATEX Directive, these areas are classified according to the frequency and duration with which an explosive atmosphere, consisting of flammable gases, vapors or dusts, may occur.

 

Here is the official breakdown:

  • Zone 0 / 20: continuous or frequent presence of flammable substances
  • Zone 1 / 21: occasional presence during normal operations
  • Zone 2 / 22: rare presence, related to failures or abnormal situations

 

The more critical the zone, the higher the safety standards of the devices used must be. That is why it is important to rely on clearly labeled and certified fans.

 

What must an ATEX fan declare?

 

Every ATEX-certified fan must provide clear information on:

  • Zone of use: gas (zones 0, 1, 2) or dust (zones 20, 21, 22)
  • Type of substances with which it can operate safely
  • Allowable environmental conditions, such as maximum temperature, pressure and degree of protection (IP)

 

ATEX is not just an acronym: it is real safety

 

Choosing an ATEX fan is not just a regulatory requirement, but a conscious choice that protects people, equipment and productivity. In high-risk environments, prevention cannot be improvised: you need reliable, tested solutions that comply with the strictest standards.

 

CMC's ATEX fans are designed to do just that: operate safely even in the most critical conditions, without compromising on quality or performance.
