PFM 20 EX
Enables safe deployment in hazardous dust atmospheres.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The ABB PFM 20 Ex brings the reliability and ease of the PFM 20 filter monitoring family to industrial environments where hazardous dust atmospheres are present. Carrying ATEX certification for Ex Zones 20, 21, (application dependent), it enables continuous in-situ triboelectric dust monitoring in areas where standard instrumentation cannot be safely deployed, without compromising on measurement performance or integration flexibility.
