Debem is a company that specializes in the design and manufacture of ATEX certified diaphragm pumps<\/strong>, meaning they adhere to the ATEX 2014\/34\/EU directive for the handling of equipment suitable for use in environments with explosive hazards. Within this article, in addition to providing an overview of ATEX certification, we will delve into the main reasons why many companies use ATEX diaphragm pumps<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The explosive risk within industrial sectors.<\/h2>\n

Many industrial sectors are characterized by high risks that can harm the surrounding environment or the health of workers. One of the main hazards is the explosive hazard that characterizes many production processes: from the chemical and pharmaceutical industries to the mining sector, from the hydrocarbon sector to the paint industry. Within these sectors it becomes essential to prevent explosion hazards caused by even unintentional phenomena such as: electrical sparks, electrostatic charges, flames or hot gases, electromagnetic waves, overheated surfaces or chemical triggers. If production processes are subject to these types of hazards, it is imperative that companies adopt procedures and employ equipment that can minimize each hazard case.<\/p>\n

The ATEX directives for regulating explosive hazards.<\/h2>\n

The European Union has adopted two directives to regulate all measures aimed at supporting health and safety in potentially explosive atmospheres.<\/p>\n
