High-Temp EX Oven
ZonHoo high-temp EX oven systems are designed for explosion-proof high-temperature applications, offering customizable certification options like ATEX and IECEx. These ovens are ideal for environments where explosive materials are present, ensuring safe and efficient curing without compromising safety.
As a manufacturer supporting OEM/ODM projects, we start with an engineering review to deliver a procurement-ready specification and compliance-aligned scope.
What a High-Temp EX Oven Is
A high-temp EX oven is designed to safely handle high-temperature curing processes in environments where explosive or flammable materials are present. These ovens are built with explosion-proof construction and can be customized to meet ATEX, IECEx, or other certification standards, ensuring compliance with industry safety regulations.
Standard Features
- Explosion-proof design for safe operation in hazardous environments
- Gas detection and emergency venting systems to prevent explosions
- Adjustable temperature control for high-precision curing
- Custom certifications (ATEX, IECEx, etc.) to meet specific safety standards
- Sealed chamber construction to prevent hazardous leaks
- Explosion-proof heating elements
- Energy-efficient design for optimal curing at high temperatures
- Integration-ready I/O and safety interlocks for seamless production line integration
Why Explosion-Proof is Essential
In industries where explosive materials, flammable gases, or dust are present, the risk of fire or explosion is a serious concern. High-temp EX ovens are designed to mitigate these risks by providing:
- Explosion-proof enclosures: Preventing ignition of flammable gases or dust inside the oven.
- Gas detection systems: Monitoring and managing hazardous gas concentrations.
- Pressure relief valves: Ensuring safe operation during high-temperature cycles in hazardous environments.
- Compliance with global standards: Customizable to meet ATEX, IECEx, and other safety certifications.
Explosion-Proof Design & Control Features
High-temp EX ovens incorporate several safety and control features to ensure safe operation in hazardous environments:
- Gas detection: Continuous monitoring of gas levels to prevent explosion risks.
- Venting systems: Designed to safely vent gases in case of overpressure.
- Sealed construction: Prevents any leakage of hazardous materials into the environment, ensuring safety for operators.
- Pressure relief valves: Automatic pressure release if the internal pressure exceeds safe levels.
- Explosion-proof heating elements: Prevent overheating and ignition within the oven.
Customized Certification Options
Our high-temp EX ovens are customizable to meet the certification requirements of your specific application. Certifications include:
- ATEX (for use in explosive atmospheres)
- IECEx (for international explosion protection standards)
- CSA/UL (for North American certifications)
- FM Global (for North American explosion-proof standards)
We work with clients to determine the necessary certifications based on their specific environment and production needs. Each high-temp EX oven is designed and certified to ensure safety and compliance with these standards.
