ATEX Hot Water Suppressors were specifically designed for the Dairy Drying Industry. With water stored in a temperature and pressure controlled unit, it provides a unique advantage in larger vessels. Before the advent of HWS DCS were used on these vessels.
ATEX’s Dry Chemical-based Advanced Explosion Suppression Systems offer multi-purpose, high-efficiency suppressor, discharging non-toxic flame-extinguishing powder into the protected plant using fast-acting non-explosively actuated valve.
The quick closing valve is part of an active explosion isolation system. In the event of ignition, it is activated by solenoid valves
The ATEX Quick Sliding Valve uses Gas Generators to close the valve if a deflagration is detected as provided with most new systems. But additionally, ATEX valves are provided with plant air operated slow stroke functions to allow the manual opening and closing of the valve for maintenance.
