Invicta Vibrators at POWTECH 2005, Nuremberg
Invicta Vibrators will be present at POWTECH 2005, Nuremberg, with the BLz Series of foot-mounted, dust-proof rotary electric vibrators and the flame-proof EBK Series vibrators
The BLz Series has been developed from the well-known BL Series and retains the same external and fixing dimensions.
Internal modifications and changes to performance characteristics in some models have necessarily been implemented in order to comply with the directive.
In most instances, however, a BLz vibrator will replace an equivalent BL vibrator in a Zone 21 or Zone 22 area depending, of course, on the ignition temperature of the dust present in the atmosphere.
Care must be exercised when specifying vibrators for use in hazardous environments and when substituting a BLz model for a BL vibrator.
Application advice and full technical details are available from Invicta Vibrators.
Work is continuing in order to extend the range of outputs available within the BLz Series.
