Safer, Smarter, Greener: STEGO’s Second Generation of Ex Protection
In industries where a single spark can trigger a serious incident, safety and reliability are non-negotiable. Whether in chemical plants, oil and gas production, mining, or wastewater treatment, electrical equipment must operate flawlessly, even in the most demanding environments.
At STEGO, we understand these challenges. Our second-generation heaters and thermostats for Ex atmospheres and other hazardous environments are designed to protect both people and equipment. They prevent condensation, frost, and temperature fluctuations in enclosures, ensuring consistent, safe operation in even the toughest industrial conditions.
Why Temperature Ratings Matter
Every hazardous zone comes with its own risks, and temperature control plays a vital role in preventing ignition. Ex devices are classified from T1 to T6, defining the maximum surface temperature they can safely reach without igniting surrounding gases or dusts:
- T1: up to 450°C
- T2: up to 300°C
- T3: up to 200°C
- T4: up to 135°C
- T5: up to 100°C
- T6: up to 85°C
Selecting the right protection type and temperature class depends on the specific atmosphere and potential ignition sources. With STEGO’s certified portfolio, engineers can select confidently, balancing performance, safety, and compliance.
Certified Safety You Can Trust
STEGO products are developed and tested according to leading global certification standards:
- ATEX (EU): Directive for equipment in explosive atmospheres.
- IECEx (International): Certification scheme based on IEC standards.
- INMETRO (Brazil): National certification for local compliance.
This multi-certification approach ensures that STEGO solutions can be deployed globally with full compliance and reliability, from offshore platforms to underground mines.
Sustainability Meets Safety
Safety and sustainability go hand in hand in modern industry. At STEGO, we are committed to developing Ex-rated products that not only protect people and assets, but also minimize environmental impact.
