EX-PROTECTION IN MOBILE TANKS

By Allgemein
ATEX Explosionsschutz Zertifikat EX Zone 0 Geppert Rührtechnik GmbH

According to TGRS 727 and EN ISO 80079-36:2016-12, liquids that below atmospheric conditions are explosive (zone 0), with a conductivity of less than 10-8 S/m, may only be agitated under special conditions. Inerting is required by adding inert gases to displace atmospheric oxygen from the tank. This is hardly a problem for permanently installed tanks. Yet, if mobile tanks are to be used, up until now there has really never been a practical solution.

To solve this problem, Geppert Rührtechnik is relying on the proven tripod agitators, with which even the most hazardous of substances can be agitated in mobile tanks. The design of them takes into account the tank size as well as the hazard potential of the liquids. Barrels with 40 liters up to 1,000 liters stainless steel IBCs are possible. The controller features the required performance levels and allows easy operation. The fluid-mechanical, controlled inert gas flow ensures that only a minimum of inert gas is consumed. As such, the explosion protection around the floor stand mixers, typically zone 1, can be strongly limited.

The tripod agitators from Geppert Rührtechnik feature a wide range of application capabilities due to their flexible modular system – from the simplest application up to complex production plants in which dosing, process data recording and control can be integrated. Since 2003, Geppert Rührtechnik has been a certified manufacturer of explosion protected agitators.

TRIPOD AGITATORS FOR PRODUCTION AND PILOT PLANTS

By Allgemein

In the world of industrial production tripod agitators stand for flexibility and operational safety. Whereas in former days single components were required, Geppert Rührtechnik GmbH now offers complete tripod agitators, equipped with the most up-to-date process control. These machines offer flexibility of application, meet the maximum needs of reliability and provide ease of cleaning and maintenance.

It occurs more and more often that entire stages of production and packaging are executed in small-to medium-size containers that are either mixed in or that are filled or emptied. Due to the tripod agitators’ stand-alone statics they do not need to be installed onto the container. Applications for various container sizes, shapes or volumes are no problem at all. All requirements with regard to process data collection and processing as well as with regard to plant automation are met. Even online viscosity measurements are possible. For requirements that arise from the products themselves or the environment of the production area, such as hazardous areas in and around the containers, clean room conditions and TA Luft, Geppert Rührtechnik offers taylor-made solutions with their tripod agitators. Special designs, such as tripod agitators for fixed container mixers or fully automated plants, which are used in the areas of clean room technology or nuclear waste processing, complete the range of products.

Geppert Rührtechnik has been producing explosion-proof mixer drives since as early as 2003, which made them one of the first enterprises in Germany to develop and produce ATEX-compliant mixers. The tripod agitators can also be delivered as explosion-proof models according to ATEX RL 2014/34/EU for use in hazardous zones 1 and 2 as well as containers with hazardous zones 0 to 1.

Allow Geppert Rührtechnik’s CEO Dipl.-Ing. Stefan Heuter to demonstrate an array of his interesting applications to showcase the tripod agitators’ possibilities. His talk, as part of the ACHEMA Praxisforum, is scheduled for Tuesday, June 12, 2018 at 10:30am in Room H4.C – Consens. Or visit us at the ACHEMA, booth B 41 in exhibition hall 5.0.

Meet the experts in mixing!

GEPPERT AT ECS 2017

By Allgemein

The ECS European Coatings Show 2017 in Nuremberg continues to expand its position as the leading event for the global coatings industry. More than 30,000 trade visitors and 1,135 exhibitors from 40 countries – the ECS 2017 was bigger and more international than ever.

Geppert Rührtechnik GmbH is very satisfied with the trade show and the visitor numbers at our booth. In addition to the well-known container- and drum-mixers the visitors were very interested in our tripod agitators with 4.0 applications.

Thank you for visiting our booth and for your interest in our company and products! We look forward to assisting you with your most challenging mixing applications.

OUR NEW BUILDING

By Allgemein

The new company bulding is ready and the move starts. In addition to the daily work the Geppert employees managet all the difficulties with full power. Due to the enormus engagement from the Geppert emloyees also the unexpected problems could be handeld in a a very professional way. To avoid delivery delays all the little and big things are packed and unpacked following a masterplan.

The wide doorway in front of the shipping area ensures that the outgoing material can be shipped fast and professional. To avoid demaged of the good and to protect the receiver of the goods a big projecting roof protects the empolyees and the goods.

Because of the modern ramps the load or unload is for little trucks or big motortrucks very easy possible. The forklifts can directly go to the trucks. To avoid demaged of the good and to protect the receiver of the goods a big projecting roof protects the empolyees and the goods.

With more than 1000 qm and 7 meters height the production hall is the centerpiece. Modern cranes helps to put the very heavy premium stell waves and engines together. Therefore the transport from all those heavy pieces can be done without physical strenght.
