Alpha Consulting proudly announces the completion of the certification process for an advanced range of equipment designed for heavy industry: the H/S/C series canned motor pumps. Thanks to a rigorous verification process, these machines have obtained the EU-Type Examination Certificate, guaranteeing the highest safety standards for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

THE PROJECT AND THE EQUIPMENT

The project involved canned motor pumps manufactured by well-known German manufacturer. These are complex machines designed to operate in critical conditions where leak-tightness and explosion protection are indispensable requirements.

The certification covers a wide range of models with the following technical specifications:

• Configurations: Various terminal box sizes (S, M, L, XL) to adapt to specific installation needs.

• Voltage: From 180V to 690V.

• Power: From a minimum of 0.2kW up to 355kW for the largest configurations.

THE CERTIFICATION PATH: ATEX DIRECTIVE 2014/34/EU

To ensure free movement within the European market and operator safety, the equipment underwent the certification procedure according to Directive 2014/34/EU, following Annex III – Module B.

The verification process, conducted by the Notified Body ECM (No. 1282), confirmed compliance with essential health and safety requirements through the application of international technical standards:

• EN 60079-1:2014: Protection by flameproof enclosures “db”.

• EN IEC 60079-0:2018: General requirements for equipment in explosive atmospheres.

RESULTS AND MARKING

Following the tests documented in technical report no. PRD-2026-DD29, the pumps obtained the official marking allowing their use in hazardous areas:

II 2G Ex db IIC T1~T4 Gb

This string identifies equipment suitable for gas atmospheres (G), with a flameproof protection method (db) and a high level of protection (Gb).
