Insect exterminators granted ATEX approval

The Insectron range of insect exterminators is believed to be the first electronic insect exterminator granted ATEX approval for use in explosive, dusty and wet environments.

The Insectron range of insect exterminators from Berson have been granted ATEX approval for use in explosive, dusty and wet environments.

Insectron was the first electronic insect exterminator to be awarded this approval.

This means the units can be installed in potentially hazardous areas such as grain, animal feed and coal processing and storage facilities, flour mills, sugar factories and large bakeries, where combustible dusts can easily ignite, leading to catastrophic explosions.

The EX-certified Insectron units have II 3 D and T105oC classifications and comply with EN 50014 : 1997 and EN 50281-1-1 : 1998.

They also have IP65 ingress protection for use in both wet and dusty environments.

This means they are ideal for use in areas where water is sprayed, such as dairy, livestock and poultry farms, abattoirs, dairy plants and fish farms, or in dusty environments like paper mills, board converting facilities and packaging plants.

The ATEX certificate was awarded by KEMA, the internationally recognised certifying body, which is a member of the European Network for Quality System Assessment and Certification (EQNET).

The Insectron range is designed, manufactured and distributed at Berson's state-of-the-art facility in the Netherlands.

Widely regarded as the leading insect exterminator on the market, it is marketed throughout Europe by an extensive network of distributors.
