Explosions pose a great threat to plants causing not only damage to sites and equipment, but also potential loss of life or serious injuries of personnel. An explosive atmosphere can be caused by flammable gases, and when there is enough of the substance, mixed with air it leads to a source of ignition that can cause an explosion.
The GEMÜ 1441 cPos-X electro-pneumatic positioner is now certified with ATEX and IECEx explosion protection for gas environments, protecting your plant and personnel from serious danger. Equipped for a multitude of control applications, the device is suitable for both single acting and double acting pneumatic process valves with linear and quarter turn actuators.
The integrated actuator module for dosing the control air permits precise positioning of the valve and when idle the air consumption is minimal. At an estimate, 10% of all energy consumed by the industrial sector is used for compressed air generation, therefore consumption of compressed air is a costly expense to businesses.
The GEMÜ 1441 cPos-X offers a cost effective and environmental conscious option. Not only is the positioner economical but it also has a clever solution to simplify maintenance with a replaceable solenoid/filter cartridge. The practical design allows your operator to remove and replace the filter in the event of build up of debris or dirt in your air lines.
GEMÜ will be attending CHEMUK 2024 on 15 and 16 May 2024 at the NEC, Birmingham. To view the GEMÜ 1441 cPos-X in action visit GEMÜ at Stand F20.
