ATEX Retractor System TANKO-RT/-RTS

Compressed air escapes through the locking
cylinder while the power cylinder is extended.
To save compressed air during a long
cleaning cycle, the power cylinder can be
depressurized. However, this is only possible
at installation positions from 0°- 90° (see
adjacent figure), as the cleaning medium
present holds the power cylinder in its
extended position.
In the range 90°- 180°, the pressure should
not be disconnected.
The owner must take this into account when
using the TANKO-RT/-RTS in areas with
a risk of dust explosions, where dust can
be stirred up.
