As a specialist in hazardous area lighting, Sammode designs robust and durable solutions specifically for hazardous environments where there is a risk of explosion. Our hazardous lighting ranges are the result of our long experience and expertise in sectors such as chemicals, petrochemicals, onshore and offshore installations, and grain processing and storage. Thanks to our know-how, our ATEX lighting products guarantee reliable performance in hazardous areas, meeting the specific requirements of these industries.

Lighting adapted to ATEX environments

High material resistance for Sammode hazardous luminaires

304L or 316L stainless steel for external metal parts. Borosilicate glass, polycarbonate or coextruded polycarbonate/methacrylate.

Performance

Efficiency: our LED luminaires reduce energy consumption while guaranteeing optimum operation, even at extreme temperatures. Comfort: high performance and lighting comfort guaranteed.

Tightness - IP68/IP69K

IP68: totally waterproof for long-lasting performance. IP69K: weatherproof and resistant to high-pressure cleaning.

Durability, maintainability, upgradeability

Our robust, durable products are designed to be maintainable, with replaceable parts (spare parts available for a minimum of 30 years) and easy on-site maintenance. They evolve with your needs and new technologies.

ATEX environments:
safety and optimum performance in hazardous areas

Protection modes selected by Sammode

Increased security (e): Non-sparking (n):

Type of protection in which measures are taken to prevent the possibility of excessive temperatures and the occurrence of arcs or sparks inside electrical equipment during normal operation with a high safety factor.

Electrical equipment is designed so that the occurrence of an external ignition source (spark, hot surface) is impossible during normal operation. Its temperature class takes into account the maximum surface temperature of the outer housing.
Encapsulation (m): Per envelope (t):

Components that could ignite an explosive atmosphere through sparks or heating are encapsulated in resin so that this explosive atmosphere cannot penetrate and therefore cannot ignite.

The enclosure of the electrical equipment is dust-tight and the ignition source has no contact with the potentially explosive atmosphere. The surface temperatures of the equipment are limited.

Advantages of these types of protection

  • Low weight. These protection modes use components that weigh approximately the same as standard components.
  • Simple maintenance and servicing. All work on our hazardous lighting can be carried out on site by qualified personnel.

ATEX zones

Gases and vapours
Zone 0 Zone 1 Zone 2
A place in which an explosive atmosphere consisting of a mixture of air and flammable substances in the form of gases, vapours or mists is present continuously, for long periods or frequently. A place in which an explosive atmosphere consisting of a mixture with air of flammable substances in the form of gas, vapour or mist is likely to occur in normal operation occasionally. A place in which an explosive atmosphere consisting of a mixture with air of flammable substances in the form of gas, vapour or mist is not likely to occur in normal operation but, if it does occur, will persist for a short period only.

Dust
Zone 20 Zone 21 Zone 22
A place in which an explosive atmosphere in the form of a cloud of combustible dust is present continuously, for long periods or frequently. A place in which an explosive atmosphere in the form of a cloud of combustible dust is likely to occur in normal operation. A place in which an explosive atmosphere in the form of a cloud of combustible dust is not likely to occur in normal operation but, if it does occur, will persist for a short period only.

Certifications

ATEX: A certification with European scope, which proves that the product has been developed and manufactured in accordance with all requirements of the relevant European standards and directives.

IECEx: A certification with an international scope that proves that the product has been developed and manufactured in accordance with all requirements of the relevant international standards.

Our commitments to support you
in your ATEX lighting projects

 
The often aggressive ATEX environments lead to rapid deterioration of materials, which can result in spontaneous breakage. To counteract this problem, Sammode draws on more than 40 years of experience in demanding ATEX conditions (salty, corrosive atmospheres, UV rays...) and offers a wide range of solutions specifically designed to withstand these stresses over time.

We put experienced teams at your service, combining technical expertise and flexibility to meet the specific needs of your lighting project. Always ready to listen, our professionals are with you every step of the way, guaranteeing perfectly adapted solutions and ongoing support to ensure an optimal lighting installation. Thanks to a precise diagnosis of your needs and the location, we optimise every parameter to maximise the performance and efficiency of the lighting installation, giving you a perfectly tailored, long-lasting solution.

A long-term investment

with Sammode hazardous luminaires (ATEX/IECEx)

The life cycle of Sammode products is conceived in a global way, integrating each stage from design to end of life. Made from durable materials, the luminaires are robust and resistant, even in the most demanding ATEX environments. Installation is simplified, and servicing and maintenance ensure their performance over time. Our luminaires are evolutionary, offering the possibility of technological upgrades, and the majority of components are recyclable or reusable. This helps to reduce environmental impact while saving money.

Upgradeable lighting solutions :

economical and ecological

From conception to assembly, our products are designed with an evolutionary approach, allowing continuous adaptation to technological advances and the changing needs of our customers. This built-in flexibility ensures that each luminaire remains efficient and relevant over time, providing a scalable, durable and cost-effective ATEX lighting solution capable of meeting the most specific requirements.

Sammode expertise

Diagnosis and recommendations

We start by analysing your operating conditions, installation requirements and other specific needs, and then recommend the most suitable solutions.
