This year's introduction of ATEX certified explosionproof switchboxes has created a much higher level of demand than could have been predicted, says valve accessories specialist Rotork Valvekits.

The SIRA certified, ATEX approved Circa 7000 switchbox range encompasses switch, sensor, ASI 2-wire connectivity and remote position feedback options.

A unique feature of the Circa range is the high visibility 'beacon' position indicator, which has also received ATEX explosionproof approval, due to its rugged, compact design.

According to Rotork Valvekits, ATEX certification is establishing the Circa 7000 as a high quality and economical switchbox choice throughout its UK and European markets.

Recent applications include twenty units for valve position indication at a petroleum tank farm in Holland.

The Valvekits contract encompassed the supply of new manual valve gear operators, switchboxes and mounting brackets.
