EXKOP® System
Space-saving, bidirectional isolation.
This system isolates plant components in both directions and consists of a self-monitoring EXKOP® controller with data storage and one or several quench valves.
Application
EXKOP® systems are suitable for filling lines, aspiration lines and pipes, pneumatic conveyor lines and air intake openings. As well as operating as a decoupling system for powder handling system, the EXKOP® system can also be used as a spark arrester or overpressure limiter.
Advantages
- Effective protection through high-speed detection of explosion events.
- Returns to operation again immediately after triggering.
- Self-monitoring safety electronics with operating data storage.
- Modem-compatible remote system analysis permits remote maintenance.
- Instant recognition of system status in HMI.
- Instant status forwarding to customer PLC (Alarm, failure, maintenance, etc.).
- Processes wide range of trigger signals for easy retrofitting to existing plants.
- Fail Safe mechanism automatically closes the valve if the power / compressed air fails or the valve is manipulated.
- Reliable, process-optimized protection against explosions in adjacent plant components.
- Minimal downtime after the mechanism is triggered.
Mechanism
In the event of an explosion, the EXKOP® controller receives a trigger signal (e.g. from the signaling unit of the Q-Rohr® or an explosion vent, from a pressure switch or spark detector) and activates the connected EXKOP® quench valves. The quench valves close within a few milliseconds and thus protect interconnected plant components. After being triggered, the quench valves can be put back in operation once again at the touch of a button.

"The EXKOP® is available in a range of standard sizes, though we keep getting requests for custom solutions. The biggest quench valve we’ve built so far has a nominal width of 1000 mm."
Any Questions?
We would be happy to show you solutions tailored to your process that limit the effects of an explosion to a harmless level and ensure that production can be resumed quickly after an explosion event.
