Explosion isolation system EXKOP® System

EXKOP® systems are suitable for filling lines, aspiration lines and pipes, pneumatic conveyor lines and air intake openings. As well as operating as a decoupling system for dust-bearing plants, the EXKOP® system can also be used as a spark arrester or overpressure limiter. Advantages: -Effective protection through high-speed detection of explosion events. -Returns to operation again immediately after triggering. -Self-monitoring safety electronics with operating data storage. -Modem-compatible remote system analysis permits remote maintenance. -Instant recognition of system status in HMI. -Instant status forwarding to customer PLC (Alarm, failure, maintenance, etc.). -Processes wide range of trigger signals for easy retrofitting to existing plants. -Fail Safe mechanism automatically closes the valve if the power / compressed air fails or the valve is manipulated. -Reliable, process-optimised protection against explosions in adjacent plant components. -Avoid downtime after the mechanism is triggered. Mechanism: In the event of an explosion, the EXKOP® controller receives a trigger signal (e.g. from the signalling unit of the Q-Rohr® or an explosion vent, from a pressure switch or spark detector) and activates the connected EXKOP® quench valves. These close within a few milliseconds and thus protect adjacent plant components. After being triggered, the quench valves can be put back in operation once again at the touch of a button.
