Ex Sensor Technology for Hazardous Areas

In potentially explosive environments, reliable sensors are essential for safe and stable production processes. Whether in the chemical industry, food production, or dust-laden processing plants – sensors must not only operate with high precision but also meet the highest safety requirements.

RECHNER Sensors offers a comprehensive portfolio of Ex-certified sensor solutions for gas and dust hazardous areas. The sensors are designed for use in gas zones 0, 1 and 2 as well as dust zones 20, 21 and 22, meeting all relevant requirements for safe operation in potentially explosive environments.

Reliable Sensor Solutions for Demanding Ex Applications

Hazardous environments place special demands on sensor technology. Temperature fluctuations, dust exposure or aggressive media can affect the functionality of conventional sensors.

The Ex sensors from RECHNER have been specifically developed for such applications. They enable reliable detection of levels, point levels and object positions, even under challenging process conditions.

Thanks to robust designs, high resistance to media and precise measuring principles, the sensors ensure reliable process monitoring in hazardous areas.

Flexible Solutions for a Wide Range of Applications

The Ex portfolio from RECHNER Sensors includes a wide range of sensors for numerous industrial applications. Different designs, thread sizes and sensing technologies allow flexible integration into existing systems.

The portfolio includes, among others:

  • Capacitive sensors for level and point level detection

  • Sensors for detecting conductive and non-conductive media

  • Modular probe solutions for individual process requirements

  • Robust sensors for demanding process environments

Thanks to this variety, plant manufacturers and designers can select the sensor solution that best fits their specific application.

Examples from the Ex Portfolio

For applications in dust-hazardous environments, RECHNER offers the capacitive M32 sensor KA0819, for example. This sensor is particularly suitable for reliable point level detection in silos, containers and conveying systems.

The leakage sensor KA9037 detects leaks at an early stage in gas hazardous areas, Zone 0, and is therefore suitable for use in industries such as the chemical and semiconductor industries.

The modular probe KF0602 represents a particularly flexible solution. It reliably measures levels not only in gas hazardous areas of zones 1 and 2, but also in dust hazardous areas of zones 20, 21 and 22.
