ATEX crushing plant

This crushing station is used to break up the powder agglomerates of a product in order to facilitate its discharge into a reactor.

Crushing consists of a mechanical operation of driving a tool into the material to be treated. The movement is carried out using 4 pneumatic cylinders with a total thrust of 24,000 N. A counter-pressure and its associated piloting prevent jolts of movement.

The bell covering the drum during treatment has a double function: counterweight to hold the drum and suction hood to contain volatile dust.

A door system at the entrance and exit isolates the hazardous area.
