A stationary mast for use in explosion protection areas

Explosive gases and dust place the highest demands on the safety of machines and devices. Genkinger has developed a solution that has been specially designed for these demanding areas of application.

The stationary lifting frame enables the safe and precise manipulation of beaded drums. It lifts the drums to swivel them through 180° and empty them in a fixed position for several hours. All in compliance with the strict explosion protection regulations. Every technical requirement of the customer was taken into account in order to implement an individual and efficient solution.

• Pneumatic-hydraulic lifting device: The mast is equipped with a pneumatic-hydraulic lifting device that meets all EX protection requirements. This technology ensures precise and safe operation of the device, even under demanding operating conditions.
• Stainless steel construction: To ensure high resistance and durability in the environment, many components of the mast are made of stainless steel. This minimizes the risk of corrosion and increases the service life of the device
• Special rubber coating on the gripping cheeks: The gripping cheeks of the lifting frame have a non-slip coating to ensure safe and gentle handling of the beaded drums. This prevents the drums from slipping during lifting and swiveling.
• Lock valve for increased safety: An additional integrated lock valve ensures that the load cannot drop in the event of a loss of pressure, thus guaranteeing hermetic tightness for several hours.

This customized solution shows that Genkinger also develops innovative devices for industries with the highest safety standards and specific requirements. Whether in the chemical, pharmaceutical or food industry - companies that work with sensitive or hazardous materials benefit from this approach.
