What does the DGUV do? How is it made up?

A reliable emergency stop is essential, especially for agitators with powerful drives and openly accessible mixing vessels. This is not just about compliance with regulations, but also about a sense of responsibility...

In industrial processes where machines with mechanically moving components such as agitators are used, safety is one of the top priorities. A central element of this safety architecture is restart protection...

Two-hand operation is a safety-relevant control unit that ensures that a machine or system can only be put into operation if the operator places both hands on two separately arranged actuating elements at the same time...

Definition The occupational exposure limit value specifies „the concentration of a substance up to which acute or chronic harmful effects on health are generally not to be expected.“ On January 1, 2005, it replaced the previously applied MAK values (values for the maximum workplace concentration). Evaluation and publication of occupational exposure limit values Legally binding values are determined by the Committee for Hazardous Substances (AGS) according to the criteria [...].

ATEX is a certificate for devices and machines that allows them to be used in a potentially explosive environment. The abbreviation ATEX is derived from the French term for potentially explosive atmospheres (Atmosphères Explosibles). The ATEX regulations are set out in EU Directive 2014/34/EU, which has been in force since 2016.

ATEX is a certificate for devices and machines that allows them to be used in a potentially explosive environment. An environment is potentially explosive if a potentially explosive gas mixture can form in the atmosphere. This is the case wherever vapors can escape and come into contact with the ambient air, for example in the manufacture of paints, [...]

Seals Seals are fundamental components of various technical applications. They protect elements or transitions between components from the ingress of undesirable substances. They are also used to seal liquid-transporting vessels and pipes. Due to their wide range of applications, gaskets differ in their shape, material and hardness. For certain applications, for example in food production or paint manufacturing, seals are subject to [...]

Gas-liquid dispersions are fine mixtures of gaseous and liquid substances. The aim is to produce the largest possible substance exchange surface...

Liquid-liquid dispersions are mixtures of at least two normally immiscible substances. The oil-water emulsion is a well-known example from practice...
