Services in the area of explosion protection

URACA's services in the field of explosion protection are very extensive and range from consulting and engineering to the delivery of customer-specific complete solutions. This includes risk analysis, validation and security documents.

In accordance with different standards and country-specific requirements, URACA offers explosion protection for pump systems and high-pressure solutions from a single source. Within the scope of the complete product range URACA designs and manufactures together with well-known manufacturers EX solutions for the use in the EX zones 0, 1 and 2.

For explosion protection, for example, explosion-proof or explosion overpressure encapsulated drive and automation technologies are used. The drive systems consist of Exd/Exde/ExnA three-phase motors in LV and HV designs, which are operated directly on the mains or with frequency control.

Exde control boxes or special HMI panels are used for operation and monitoring in zones 1 and 2. Various installation techniques are used, such as "intrinsically safe circuits", "conduit installation" in accordance with NEC 505, fieldbus technologies and Exi/Exe field distributors in glass fiber reinforced plastic or stainless steel.

URACA also offers you reliable pressure, differential pressure, flow and level transmitters as well as switches with associated barriers, heating systems, MMC monitoring systems and valves.

The result is your individual explosion protection solution both for new plants and for integration into your existing systems.

Challenges for explosion protection solutionsin the field of high-pressure pumps

A special challenge for explosion protection solutions in the field of high-pressure pumps and high-pressure solutions is the operation under extreme conditions and adverse climatic conditions. Globalization requires solutions that can be used worldwide. URACA has the necessary know-how for this. The products guarantee long-term protection, function and reliability. They have worldwide certifications such as: ATEX, IECEx, NEC500, NEC505, CQST, NEPSI, TR CU ATEX (formerly GOST), KOSHA, KGS, UL/CSA, CCOE, IMMETRO.

Areas of application of explosion protection solutions

URACA explosion protection is used wherever control, drive, monitoring and operation of pump systems and high-pressure solutions in the explosion area take place.
