Electric Konecranes EX C-series chain hoist for Zone 22

Overview

Electric Konecranes EX C-series chain hoist configured for Zone 22 hazardous areas. ATEX-, CE- and RoHS-certified equipment with an ATEX-approved pendant controller and cable for control in classified atmospheres. Rated lifting capacity up to 1 000 kg and rated duty class up to FEM 3m/ISO M6. Operating ambient temperature range -20°C...+40°C. Key technical points: - Chain: Galvanized load chain (T-luokka) or optional case-hardened DAT chain. - Hooks: Compliant with DIN 15401 standard. - Suspension: Top attachment plus a comprehensive trolley range to support fixed or traversing installations. - Motion control: Two-speed contactor-controlled lifting motion and two-speed contactor-controlled trolley travel. - Electrical: Wide voltage range with low-voltage control architecture. - Housing and surface treatment: Anodized aluminum housing painted with epoxy powder coating, 70 µm. Designed for industrial lifting and material handling in production plants, maintenance shops and manufacturing R&D environments where Zone 22 (non-continuous combustible dust) classification applies. Typical tasks include vertical lifting of parts and transfer along a beam using top-mounted attachment or an installed trolley, with load-handling up to 1 000 kg. Configuration choices affect application fit: select galvanized or case‑hardened DAT chain based on corrosion or wear requirements; choose from the trolley range for either fixed, manual or powered traversing; and use the ATEX-approved pendant for safe operator control in hazardous areas. Two-speed contactor controls for lifting and travel provide a balance of throughput and precise positioning appropriate for frequent, medium-heavy duty cycles (FEM 3m/ISO M6). The -20°C...+40°C rating and epoxy-coated anodized housing support typical indoor factory floor environments where ambient temperature and corrosion protection are decision factors.
