For ATEX areas

Cat Pumps UK has developed and tested a range of high pressure triplex pumps for use in Explosive Atmospheres. The pumps require very few modifications to make them suitable for use in ATEX areas. Generally, minimising the risk of sparks caused by a build up of static electricity and strengthening a few parts to protect against accidental damage is all that is needed. They do not get hot enough in normal use to ignite most vapours.

Cat Pumps offer bareshaft pumps for use in Zone 2 and Zone 1 areas.

These are designated II 2G cb IIB T4 for use in most flammable gas environments except Zone 0 and are available for applications of 1 to 300L/min and for pressures to 700 bar.

The company can build its pumps into motorised packages including ATEX motors to the required configuration, together with guards, transmissions and other components.
