Smooth transportation of highly explosive parts
Our motors are used all over the world to drive conveyor belts in our food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and chemical industries. It also demonstrates its many advantages in the transportation of high-explosive explosives:
The case study
Our customer, the Hammerle Maschinenfabrik AG, offers turnkey, semi-automatic and fully automatic assembly systems (rotary transfer machines, linear transfer machines and linear transfer systems). Its machines impress with very high process reliability, top production quality and very simple operation.
The content of a customer order was the construction of a feed conveyor belt for a measuring/testing machine for high-explosive explosives. As you can imagine, smooth transportation was of fundamental importance for the success of the project.
For this reason, Hammerle implemented the project with the PTM 450 air motor with ATEX certificate for ATEX Zone 1. We also integrated a 3:1 reduction gearbox to generate a slow and smooth movement (including a gentle start-up). In contrast to the use of electric motors, PTM's air motors do not generate any flammable heat. Their robust design is purely mechanical, without electronics or sensors. This is what makes them so safe to use in all explosive environments.
