Potential explosion hazard? Safety-critical? Particularly demanding?
ATEX hydraulic cylinders
In that case, these hydraulic cylinders are best left in the hands of the specialists at HOVEN HYDRAULIK. For applications in potentially explosive atmospheres, we develop and manufacture hydraulic cylinders that meet the most stringent safety requirements whilst ensuring the performance of modern hydraulic systems.
With over 95 years’ experience in engineering, design and manufacturing, HOVEN produces hydraulic cylinders that not only operate reliably but also meet the stringent requirements of the ATEX directives. Our development and production processes are certified to DIN EN ISO 9001, and all welding processes are certified to DIN EN ISO 3834-3.
The result: ATEX-certified hydraulic cylinders that combine safety, precision and durability – developed by engineers who deliver the optimal solution even for extreme operating conditions.
ATEX hydrauliccylinders for areas at risk of explosion
In many industrial sectors, gases, vapours or dusts give rise to potentially explosive atmospheres. In such environments, particularly stringent requirements apply to machinery and components.
HOVEN develops ATEX-certified hydraulic cylinders that are specifically designed for safe use in these sensitive areas. Through careful design, the appropriate choice of materials and controlled manufacturing processes, we ensure that our hydraulic cylinders comply with statutory requirements and safety standards.
Safety starts with engineering
ATEX hydraulic cylinders require particularly precise planning and documentation. Right from the design phase, our engineers take all relevant factors into account:
- Area of application and explosion zone
- Potential ignition sources and surface temperatures
- Choice of materials and surface finish
- Static electricity and earthing systems
- Suitable sealing and guide systems
This holistic approach results in hydraulic cylinders that are not only high-performance but also meet the highest safety standards.
Technical solutions for demanding ATEX applications
Our ATEX hydraulic cylinders can be customised to meet a wide range of requirements, for example:
- Special cylinders for industrial plants in potentially explosive atmospheres
- Hydraulic cylinders with special surface coatings for pharmaceutical, chemical and petrochemical applications
- Designed for high pressures and extreme loads
- Integration into complex hydraulic systems, including in combination with suitable
ATEX-compliant power units from HOVEN - Adaptation to specific installation situations or environmental conditions, e.g. use underground or in high-temperature environments
Our customers benefit from HOVEN’s high level of vertical integration – from design and mechanical machining right through to final hydraulic testing.
Applications for ATEX hydraulic cylinders
HOVEN’s ATEX-compliant hydraulic cylinders are used wherever explosive atmospheres may occur, for example in:
Chemical and pharmaceutical industries
(e.g. insulin pumps)
The petrochemical industry and gas production
(Coker, refineries, CATOFIN® units)
Drilling and production facilities
e.g. shaft construction or coal or salt mining (underground)
Energy and power station facilities
(Furnaces, melting and casting plants)
Recycling and waste disposal facilities
(e.g. composting presses)
Plants containing flammable dusts or gases
(e.g. paint mixers)
In these sensitive areas, the combination of safety, precision and robustness ensures reliable hydraulic solutions.
Certified quality for maximum operational reliability
HOVEN hydraulic cylinders meet the highest quality and safety standards:
- ATEX certification for potentially explosive atmospheres
- Quality management in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001
- Welding certification in accordance with DIN EN ISO 3834-3
- Comprehensive functional and pressure tests
- Full documentation and traceability
This means you get hydraulic cylinders that are not only high-performance, but also guarantee long-term safety and reliability. ATEX-certified, of course.
Customised ATEX hydrauliccylinders for your project
Every plant and every application places its own demands on hydraulic systems. That is why we always develop ATEX hydraulic cylinders on a bespoke basis and in close consultation with our customers. From the initial concept through to the design and the finished solution, HOVEN provides engineering, manufacturing, quality assurance and documentation, all from a single source.
