Application examples
Looking for a reliable and standard-compliant Ex power distribution system?
We have the solution for your project. With our range of Ex power distributors, Ex cable reels, Ex cables and Ex connectors, you can rely on a safe supply in potentially explosive areas. As a company, city or family business, with GIFAS you have a powerful partner at your side.
Finding the perfect solution together.
For which areas Ex products are suitable?
There are many potentially explosive areas, for example in power generation, heavy industry or the chemical industry – in other words, practically anywhere where flammable substances are processed, stored, manufactured or transported. Safety should always be the top priority, which is why Ex products are often used in these areas. At GIFAS, you can obtain explosion-proof cable reels, among other things. These products are specially designed for use in potentially explosive areas and, thanks to their high safety standards, can make a significant contribution to preventing accidents resulting in personal injury and damage to property.
You can use the devices and assemblies wherever flammable gases or vapors can combine with oxygen and therefore pose a high risk of explosion. In addition, the Ex current distributors are suitable for use in areas with increased dust generation, which are at risk of dust explosions. Thanks to their special design and the exclusive use of high-quality materials, the products can help to prevent explosions and thus protect the health and lives of all persons in the immediate vicinity and also prevent cost-intensive damage caused by explosions.
Electrical equipment such as cable drums with special properties
Electrical equipment for potentially explosive gas atmospheres is subject to special requirements. This involves properties such as safety, encapsulation of the equipment and, last but not least, protection against sparks. Important protective functions can be achieved through various measures such as specially encapsulated housings. The high-quality cable reels in our range have outstanding product properties. For example, we offer cable reels made of conductive elastomer on a sturdy tubular steel frame with ball bearings. The cables with the minimum requirement of H07 are available in yellow or black, depending on customer requirements. They are rounded off with sturdy brass feet. They are characterized by a high mechanical load capacity and a design that is impact-resistant and resistant to ageing. They can be used in potentially explosive environments if the equipment is placed on conductive and earthed surfaces.
All product features at a glance:
- Cable reel in EX design
- Suitable for zones 1 and 2
- Reel body made of conductive elastomer
- GIFAS PROFLEXX H07 cable
- Sturdy tubular steel frame with ball bearings
- Crank handle can be turned and folded
- Locking via mechanical locking mechanism
- Stainless steel side plates for mounting the flange sockets as a connection to the frame
- Connection via Ex e terminals on the flange socket, with pivot bearing (instead of axle)
“Use of the cable reel in a potentially explosive atmosphere of gas group IIC is only permitted if the cable is connected first or the cable reel is placed on a conductive floor or conductive and earthed surface.” - Easy maintenance inside the reel (no additional encapsulation)
- Resistant to oils and greases, resistant to chemical influences
- UV and weather resistant
- High mechanical load capacity
- Impact-resistant and resistant to ageing
- Very good conductivity
the minimum requirement for the cable is H07
Ex products: Cable reels in various designs
Benefit from high-quality Ex products such as the 573 cable reel, which has an IP65 degree of protection and protection class II – it is suitable for zones 1 and 2. The impact-resistant and ageing-resistant cable reel is equipped with a rotating and folding ball handle and can withstand high mechanical loads. The product is also resistant to chemical influences and resistant to oils, acids, UV and a wide range of weather conditions. It is equipped with two CEE built-in sockets with 16A or one with 32A.
Offer from GIFAS: Cable drums and various products for light and electricity
In addition to high-quality cable reels, distributors and connectors, we also supply other devices such as powerful LED lights in a wide variety of designs. These can be used in refineries and drilling platforms as well as in the energy and chemical industries. The high-quality spotlights are also used in disaster control. Other light sources consist of high-quality LED floodlights with outputs of up to 150 watts and a very long service life. Thanks to LED technology, these lights achieve a high level of efficiency.
Also available in safety-relevant technology are the Ex linear luminaires with their robust aluminum housings, which are also suitable for use in very demanding locations, for example in areas exposed to salt water or other liquids. You can also obtain smaller Ex machine or hand-held lights with efficient LED technology or powerful battery-powered lights for mobile use.
