Casella CEL's TUFF range of
Personal Air Sampling Pumps has
gained ATEX (and IECEx)
Intrinsically Safe approval for use in
flammable atmospheres. This means
the TUFF pumps can be used at
hazardous plants and production
sites where there is a potential risk of
explosive dust or gas.
Designed to European IP54 standards (protected from dust and splashing water), the TUFF is also reported to differ from ordinary handheld pumps in that it is believed to be the only Personal Air Sampling Pump in the world to receive certification to 'M1' classification required for mining applications, allowing it to be safely used underground without the need for a hot work permit.
The comprehensive range of TUFF rubber over-moulded sealed models features a robust and reliable design for harsh environments, digital flow control and a convenient drop-in charging/storage system.
