Explosion proof weighing
Safe and efficient weighing in FM zones
In environments where explosive gases, flammable substances or dust clouds are present, a standard weighing system is not a safe choice. A single spark or static discharge can be enough to cause an explosion. RAVAS offers explosion-proof weighing systems (EX) to fully comply with FM certification directives and enable safe working in hazardous areas.
Our weighing solutions minimize risk and ensure you can weigh accurately without compromising safety. This keeps your production process efficient and your company compliant with the strictest safety standards.
What are the rules?
Explosion safety and legislation
The Zone system, adopted in North America, classifies areas based on the likelihood of an explosive atmosphere, similar to the Class/Division system.
Zone 0: Continuous or near-continuous presence of an explosive atmosphere.
Zone 1: An explosive atmosphere will likely occur during regular operation.
Zone 2: It is unlikely that an explosive atmosphere will occur during regular operation, or if it does, it will be short-lived.
For complete details, please refer to the FM Approvals Guide to Hazardous Locations.
RAVAS EX weighing systems meet these requirements and are FM-certified, so you are assured of maximum safety and compliance with the law.
How does it work?
FM explosion-proof weighing systems
Our EX weighing systems are specially designed with high-quality safety features that prevent sparking and static discharge. This allows you to confidently weigh in FM zones without compromising efficiency and precision.
Our explosion-proof weighing systems are equipped with:
- Intrinsically safe electronics: prevents sparking through low voltage and special fuses.
- Stainless steel fork shoes: a non-sparking material for extra safety.
- Antistatic wheels: safely conduct static charge to the ground.
- Swivel indicator: for optimal view of the measurement when reading.

Customer story
Herberts / Global Paint Products
Explosion-proof mobile weighing can make a big difference in speed and efficiency. Herberts, a specialist in industrial coatings, optimized their production process with the RAVAS ProLine 2100 EXi. By weighing directly on the pallet truck, they saved time, reduced product loss and improved safety in their ATEX-certified work environment.
Discover how Herberts lifted their process to a higher level with explosion-proof weighing.
