Electric Chain Hoist
ATHLO chain EX (Zone 2)

ATHLO chain EX

ATHLO chain EX has been designed for use in explosive environments and complies with the latest safety regulations and is certified both ATEX and IECEx for Zone 2. With a lifting capacity of up to 2,500 kg and an extensive range of configurations, the chain hoist can be perfectly tailored to specific requirements.

Even in the standard version, the load can be moved steplessly and smoothly thanks to the frequency inverter. The wide operating temperature range enables the safe use of ATHLO chain EX in various industries for numerous applications.

Additional models for further load ranges, equipment options, and EX zones will follow.


Electric Chain Hoist

Standard:
  • Gear limit switch, 4 step (slow down and stop at upper and lower hook position)
  • Hour counter
  • Hard wired electrics
  • Robust housing (IP66)
  • Overheating protection of the hoisting motor
  • Overheating protection of the trolley motor
  • Temperature monitoring of the housing
Options:
  • Flexible suspension (suspension plate fixed, upper hook, push trolley, motorized trolley, swivelling trolley for curved runways)
  • Rain cover
  • Stainless steel hook block and chain
  • Bronze coated hook
  • Food safety lubricant for hoist and trolley gearboxes and the chain
  • Travel limit switch (slow down and stop)
  • Second brake in hoisting motor
  • Standby heating for controls and motors

  • Flexible integration

    Benefits:

    • Variety of suspension options
    • Compact design and optimal C-dimensions


    ATHLO chain EX can be integrated into different work and production processes with ease. There is a variety of mounting options available, all of which ensure safe operation and easy handling.

    Thanks to its compact design, it can fully exploit its advantages even in limited space.



  • Powerful and safe

    Benefits:

    • High-performance hoist motor with overheat protection,
      2-step hoist speed up to 16/2.7 m/min
    • Gear limit switch (slow and stop)
    • Overload protection via slipping clutch
    • Low-maintenance hoist brake in the gear train (electromagnetic disc brake)


    ATHLO chain EX masters demanding requirements with ease. The motor is protected against overheating, thus always providing safe operation.

    The limit switch for the gearbox allows for easy adjustment of the work area and reliably limits the lifting range, first by slowing down and then by stopping.



  • Reliable control

    Benefits:

    • Increased reliability and safety due to fixed wiring
    • Secure sealing of cable entries and penetrations meet the strict requirements for explosion protection; cable penetrations for pressure-resistant encapsulation are potted (from EX d to EX e area)


    The electrical control of ATHLO chain EX is hardwired. This increases the reliability and safety of the hoist by reducing the number of transfer points.



  • Robust housing

    Benefits:

    • Encapsulated and durable housing (IP66)


    All components are explosion-proof and tested to ensure the maximum safety of the chain hoist and thus the entire work process.



  • Certified safety

    Benefits:

    • ATEX (Zone 2)
    • IECEx (Zone 2)


    ATHLO chain EX has been developed and certified based on the latest safety regulations.



  • Potential equalization

    Benefits:

    • Reliable protection against spark formation through potential equalization of the components


    The potential equalization of ATHLO chain EX prevents the generation of static electricity and minimizes the risk of spark formation.



  • Gentle handling

    Benefits:

    • Stepless speeds of the motorized trolley (frequency inverter)
    • Overheating protection of the trolley motor


    The motorized trolley enables precise and effortless positioning of heavy loads, increases efficiency, and reduces physical strain on the user. The loads can be moved steplessly as standard (frequency inverter).



  • Control panel

    Benefits:

    • 2-step push-button
    • Robust housing (IP65)


    The control panel can be customized to individual needs and expanded to include additional functions (e.g., horn).

Info zu FEM/ISO:

Die Hubwerkseinstufung (FEM/ISO) ist eine Kennzahl die sich primär aus der mittleren täglichen Laufzeit des Krans und der tatsächlichen Last zusammensetzt. Hierbei wird auch berücksichtigt wie oft das Hebezeuge hierbei Höchstbeanspruchungen oder nur geringen Beanspruchungen ausgesetzt ist oder wie viele Starts/Stops erfolgen.

Vereinfacht:
1Am / M4 = Die mittlere tägliche Laufzeit beträgt rund 1 Stunde und das Hebezeug wird häufig höchstbeansprucht und laufend mittleren Beanspruchungen ausgesetzt.

2m / M5 = Die mittlere tägliche Laufzeit beträgt rund 2 Stunden und das Hebezeug wird häufig höchstbeansprucht und laufend mittleren Beanspruchungen ausgesetzt.

Applications

Potentially explosive areas for gases and dusts


“EX zones” are defined based on the type, duration, and frequency of the occurrence of explosive atmospheres. These determine the protective measures to be taken.

EX zone 2, for example, is a potentially explosive area in which a hazardous, explosive atmosphere does not normally occur or only occurs for a short time during normal operation. The substances are gases, vapours or mists that can form an explosive mixture when combined with air.

Zone Probability of an explosive atmosphere
Gases Dusts
0 20 Very high - explosive atmosphere present continuously or very frequently
1 21 High - explosive atmosphere occasionally present
2 22 Low - explosive atmosphere rarely present
