ATEX product and service range extended Following recent ATEX certification of the LabTecta bearing protection prod- uct range, AESSEAL has additionally announced ATEX certification of all its standard mechanical seals.

ATEX is the certification that allows product installation in environments with potentially explosive atmospheres. It is extensively specified in applications throughout South Africa and Europe. Compliance was achieved after considerable investment in develop- ing the necessary technical expertise, experience and know-how to assess ATEX applications and ensure compli- ance with this standard as well as ISO 29001. AESSEAL is actively involved with various industry bodies to ensure that the mechanical seal industry properly advises its users in hazardous area applications. The AESSEAL range of mechanical seals and seal support systems is suitable for a wide range of industries including oil and gas, mining, water and wastewater, power generation, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food and beverage.
