924EX Short-Range Pulsed DC Ionising Bar

ATEX certification (from the French "ATmospheres EXplosibles") confirms that equipment is safe to use in potentially explosive atmospheres — environments where flammable gas, vapor, mist, or combustible dust could ignite. For ionization equipment, ATEX certification means the ionizer has been designed so that its electrical components cannot produce sparks, arcs, or surface temperatures capable of igniting the surrounding atmosphere. ATEX-certified ionizers undergo rigorous testing and carry an "Ex" marking indicating which zones, gas groups, and temperature classes they are rated for. Meech manufactures a dedicated range of ATEX-certified ionizing bars, air curtains, and JetStream systems.

Meech manufactures a dedicated range of ATEX/IECEx-certified ionizing equipment for use in potentially explosive atmospheres. The range includes: 914EX — short-range AC ionizing bar for Zone 1/21 environments. 915EX — short-range AC ionizing bar (alternative mounting). 924EX — short-range pulsed DC ionizing bar with Hyperion technology for Zone 1/21. 976EX — long-range pulsed DC ionizing bar for applications requiring greater mounting distance in hazardous areas. 959EX — hazardous area ionizing air curtain combining ionization with high-volume airflow. EX JetStream — ionizing air knife system for surface cleaning in explosive zones. All EX-rated products carry Baseefa certification (e.g., Baseefa16ATEX0042X) and IECEx certification for international compliance. Installation in ATEX zones requires a qualified site survey — our certified engineer ensures the correct zone classification and equipment selection for your facility.

Equipment in explosive zones must be ATEX-certified (in the EU) or IECEx-certified (internationally) for the specific zone classification. Zone 0/20 — continuous explosive atmosphere; requires Category 1 equipment (highest protection). Zone 1/21 — likely explosive atmosphere during normal operation; requires Category 2 equipment. Zone 2/22 — explosive atmosphere unlikely but possible; requires Category 3 equipment. For static control in explosive zones, Meech offers ATEX-certified versions of their ionizing bars (914Ex, 924Ex, 976Ex), air curtains (959Ex), and JetStream air knives — all designed with intrinsically safe electrical circuits and non-sparking construction.
