3.5 Function
The ME EX extraction arm is an extractor arm for
capturing and extracting gases and dust-filled air in
explosive atmospheres.
The extraction arm’s swivel (8) rotates a full 360° and
can be mounted on a table, wall- or ceiling bracket (9).
The arm is fitted with a torsion spring (inside the joint)
or gas springs (7) to counterbalance the weight of the
arm. The joint friction (2) can be altered with the tension
knob (5) found on each joint. An adjustable damper (3)
is used to completely block or adjust the airflow. Each
bracket comes with an earth cable (10) to be connected
to the earth at the facility.
