Operations in many different industries can create explosive atmospheres that present a great danger to both life and equipment. In the chemical and petrochemical industries these are caused primarily by flammable gases, vapors or mists. In mining, mills and other areas, dust can combine with the air to become highly explosive. Unsafe equipment can ignite these mixtures, resulting in explosions.

When machines or systems are operated outdoors, they are inevitably exposed to the elements. This means that only especially rugged operator controls are good enough. If you don't want to make any compromises where visuals are concerned, the SIRIUS ACT series fits the picture.

SIRIUS soft starters make it easier to start conveyor systems. Loads fluctuate when bulk solids are being conveyed or processed. These fluctuations might be caused by a change in the angle of the conveyor belt, which influences the parameters. If the parameters that you have selected for subsequent motor starts do no match the altered load, you can damage the machine or get an aborted start.

Switching off pumps that convey large volumes of water is a particular challenge. The pump stops immediately, causing the water in the pipes to also stop immediately. The kinetic energy still in the water is transmitted as "water hammer" onto pipes, couplings, valves, and seals. This damage can be serious to the pipe system.

More functionality in the smallest of spaces with SIRIUS motor starters. When it comes to employee safety at assembly stations, assembly conveyors must satisfy very strict requirements. If the system also has to remain flexible at the same time, compact, safe motor starter solutions are what is required so that enough space is left in the control panel for future modifications and expansions.

There is a lot that companies need to know before exporting electrical machines or systems to the USA, as the country's standards, regulations and practices are very different from those in markets shaped by IEC standards. Every machine or system is checked by an inspector before it can be put into operation. For successful field acceptance, correct configuration and documentation according to the applicable standards are essential. One thing that helps is to have products certified to UL standards.

Many industrial machines and systems may only be operated by authorized personnel and are therefore fitted with key-operated switches. However, if certain machine functions are only supposed to be available for a specific person or group, this cannot be achieved by using simple key-operated switches. In such a case, electronic switches with RFID technology enable a complex management of rights.

SIMOCODE pro solution for blocked pumps. Every water utility is familiar with the problem of a blocked pump and the possible consequences. Environmental impacts, damage due to flooding, as well as health hazards associated with the lifting and cleaning of pumps. Added to this are the financial effects of a plant shutdown. In their search for a suitable solution, operators take various approaches into account, such as the over-dimensioning of pumps. The removal of blockages is often a routine service task.
