The Lombrico S Ex-0 is an ATEX and IECEx Zone 0 certified robot specifically designed for tank cleaning. Fully hydraulic and remotely controlled, it can enter a 600 mm diameter manhole.
ATEX Marking: II 1G Ex h IIB T4 Ga
IECEx Marking: Ex h IIB T4 Ga
ATEX and IECEx certified for Zone 0, Lombrico S Ex-0 is a versatile, full-featured solution for removing even the most compact materials.
Lombrico is the result of more than 20 years of research and development: a machine that can be customised, thanks to augers, high-pressure nozzles, cameras and LEDs, magnetic tracks, and telemetric sensors. The robot is fully hydraulically driven and remotely controlled via a control unit located in a safe area or in an Atex Zone 1 classified area. This allows full control of the machine’s movements and the protection of operators from high explosion risk areas.
- No man entry: the product can be used in areas so narrow that man cannot pass through.
- No man risk: the product does not cause explosions or toxic fumes in the working area.
- ATEX: certified to work in explosion-hazardous areas, according to European ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU.
Features:
- Compact dimensions: The robot, with 100 mm suction hose, is 1920 mm long and 420 mm high; compact and robust.
- ATEX and IECEx Zone 0 Light: Reliable illumination even in the most challenging gas-explosive environments. Compact and robust design, with adjustable beam angles from 20° to 80°.
- ATEX and IECEx Zone 0 Camera: HD resolution and the ability to operate in hydrogen environments, versatile and reliable for monitoring explosive environments.
- Bronze Auger: Non-sparking accessory for safely disintegrating any material.
- High-pressure nozzles: Directable nozzles to facilitate material disintegration.
Reason why: Lombrico S Ex-0 is the ideal solution for the periodic maintenance of storage tanks. A completely no-man entry, remotely controlled solution for operating inside storage tanks in refineries, terminals and industrial plants. Thanks to a wide range of accessories, all Atex zone 0 certified, and the possibility to have different set-ups, it is possible to work in any operating context with high safety and productivity.
Advantages:
- Lower cleaning costs.
- High productivity and reduced downtime.
- No need for people in Zone 0.
- Camera and LED system certified ATEX and IECEx Zone 0.
- No Tank Blanketing process to add inert gases inside a storage tank.
Applications: Mini-Excavator robots are designed starting from the specific characteristics of the working site. The Lombrico ATEX and IECEx range consists of a series of robots designed specifically for heavy-duty industrial maintenance and cleaning work. The modularity of the system allows great flexibility in terms of control unit and power unit.
Equipment: Tailor-made configurations according to work area needs. Lombrico and Associated Equipment is a complete system consisting of a robot, an ATEX and IECEx Zone 1 control unit (Control Unit) and a hydraulic power unit (Power Unit), which can be combined together according to customer requirements.
