100 pcs ATEX Explosion Proof Actuators for Mobile Oil Station in Germany
Project Overview
A German vehicle service equipment manufacturer required explosion-proof valve automation for their mobile oil station product line.
Background
Mobile oil stations are designed for the transport, pumping, replacement, and refill of oil in vehicles, tractors, and maintenance service stations. Operating in potentially explosive environments, every component must meet strict ATEX safety standards.
The project demanded reliable, explosion-proof electric actuators to automate oil flow control in hazardous zones — ensuring both operational efficiency and worker safety.
