In explosion-prone industrial settings, the use of conveyor belts with standard covers can pose a hazard, as the buildup of static electricity or the heat generated by friction can ignite sparks.
To ensure maximum safety, conveyor belts designed for hazardous environments are made of special materials that facilitate the dissipation of static electricity, preventing the spread of fire and reducing the risk of fire.
Safety requirements for these tapes are regulated by major European standards:
- Antistaticity – Conforms to ISO 284 standard
- Flame resistance – Conforms to ISO 340 standard
Classification of Areas of Risk
The European Union has established ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU, which divides hazardous areas into three categories:
🔴 Zone 0/20 – Permanent explosive atmosphere due to the presence of gas or dust
🟠 Zone 1/21 – Occasional explosive atmosphere due to the presence of gas or dust
🟡 Zone 2/22 – Accidental explosive atmosphere due to malfunction
Our certified conveyor belts are designed to ensure maximum safety in accordance with current regulations, offering reliability and protection in critical industrial environments.
