Fundamentals of explosion protection

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.

Clean wastewater pumps without fiber collection

SIRIUS soft starter reduces the maintenance effort when pumps get blocked. Impellers are frequently blocked by sanitary and other waste products that are not intended for removal in wastewater. Blockages of this kind can be a costly aspect of wastewater handling and have to be removed manually.

Avoiding failures due to load fluctuations

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.

Stopping pumps without water hammer

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.

Reducing maintenance work in conveyor systems

Space-saving distributed motor starters impress with their hybrid technology and integrated diagnostics data. In a conventional set-up, contactors have to be repeatedly replaced due to contacts welding as a result of the continuous load on the conveyor lines. This leads to an especially high amount of maintenance work with repeated short system downtimes.

Safe, space-saving control of assembly conveyors

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.
