Ex-Proof Local Control Stations

Ex-Proof local control stations are flameproof control units that ensure the safe operation of field equipment in hazardous environments containing explosive gases, flammable vapors, and dust. These stations, used in motor start/stop, emergency stop, signaling, switching, and process control applications, minimize the risk of explosion by containing sparks and arcs within the enclosure.

They are designed for safe use in areas classified as Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21, and Zone 22, such as oil refineries, natural gas facilities, chemical and petrochemical plants, paint and solvent production facilities, mining sites, and grain processing facilities. Models compliant with ATEX and IECEx standards meet international explosive atmosphere safety requirements.

Ex-proof local control stations are produced with aluminum die-cast, stainless steel, or high-strength polyester body options. Models with IP65, IP66, and IP67 protection classes offer high resistance against dust, water, and harsh field conditions. Equipment such as buttons, selector switches, signal lamps, emergency stop buttons, and ammeters/voltmeters can be integrated on them.

Local control stations, offering project-specific configuration opportunities thanks to their modular design, are widely preferred in motor control, pump systems, conveyor lines, and process automation applications. Thanks to their lockable and safety-oriented designs, they increase both equipment and personnel safety.
