Dinnissen's Sampling Unit has expanded its ATEX certification to cover a wide range of environments. This means that the Sampling Unit is now suitable for hazardous areas with explosion risks, specifically for internal zones 20, 21, and 22, as well as external zones 21 and 22.

The ATEX certification, compliant with Directive 2014/34/EU, marks a significant milestone and highlights

the unit’s reliable design.

The certification ensures that the unit meets the highest safety standards for dust explosion risks. The Sampling Unit can operate in environments with ambient temperatures ranging from -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to 140°F) while process temperatures can range from 0°C to +120°C. Additionally, it is capable of sampling

products with highly critical explosive properties, making it a versatile solution for various industrial applications.

The Sampling Unit simplifies the process of obtaining accurate samples during production, which is crucial for quality control. This unit automates sampling, reducing the risk of human error and lowering labor costs. Producers in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries use the Sampling Unit to collect multiple samples without interrupting production. This results in consistent quality and improved efficiency. Its hygienic design and easy cleaning make it an indispensable tool for

companies seeking reliable quality measurements.

The Sampling Unit is a tested and proven design for automatic product stream sampling, with hygiene as a top priority. The machine contains no dead spaces, has a minimal number of parts, and eliminates metal-to-metal contact risks, making it easy to clean and ideal for the food and animal feed industries.
