propagation are Flame Arrester Units that are installed on the inlet and outlet side of the machines.
Main Component – PROTEGO® Flame Arrester Unit
EV/VS for inlet (vacuum side) and EV/VD for outlet (pressure side) are Flame Arrester Units without housing. They are designed modular providing each manufacturer of blowers, vacuum pumps or similar devices the option of using optimized, adapted, and cost-effective Flame Arrester Units. Our expert technical staff will assist you with the proper selection of the devices as well as execution of type testing.
For Explosion Groups IIA to IIC
EV/VS and EV/VD Flame Arrester Units are modular in design and consist of several FLAMEFILTER® (1) installed within the
FLAMEFILTER® cage
