Bartec

BARTEC is a global market leader in explosion protection technology and delivers certified components for use in hazardous areas. The company, founded in 1975 and headquartered in Bad Mergentheim, Germany, offers one of the broadest product portfolios for Ex applications in zone 1, zone 2, zone 21 and zone 22 classifications. At Verkopershulp.nl, more than 875 BARTEC products are available.

The BARTEC range encompasses explosion-proof control cabinets and enclosures, Ex junction boxes and cable connections, Ex push-button enclosures and signal lamps, Ex motor starters and frequency inverters, Ex hand tools and communication devices, and explosion-proof luminaires. All products are certified in accordance with ATEX directive 2014/34/EU and IECEx standards for international applications.

One of the most requested BARTEC product groups is the Ex e (increased safety) junction boxes in the STAHL series, used for electrical connections in gas explosion-hazardous areas. These boxes are available in fibreglass, aluminium and stainless steel and are suitable for both zone 1 and zone 2, with IP ratings up to IP 67.

For process industry and offshore applications, BARTEC offers the BEx series Ex d (flameproof enclosure) housings designed to contain electrical equipment where ignition of an explosive mixture inside the enclosure does not propagate to the surrounding atmosphere. These are used for switches, relays, PLC modules and instrumentation.

BARTEC also supplies explosion-proof hand tools, tablets and communication devices, including the BARTEC Agile X handheld computer and associated accessories such as shoulder straps, dual charging stations and 4G/GSM modules. These devices are ATEX-certified for zone 1 and zone 2 and are used for inspection, maintenance and data recording in hazardous environments. Explosion-proof push-buttons, emergency stop switches and selector switches complete the portfolio for switchgear in hazardous areas.

BARTEC cable glands and cable entries (Ex e certified) are available for cable diameters from 4 mm to 50 mm in metric, PG and NPT versions. Stainless steel and polyamide cable gland versions are available for corrosive and mechanically stressed environments. Earthing clamps and screen clamps are available as integrated components of the BARTEC junction box series.

At Verkopershulp.nl you will find the complete BARTEC range for direct delivery. Our technical specialists advise you on the correct Ex classification (zone 1/2 gas or zone 21/22 dust), the appropriate protection method (Ex d, Ex e, Ex t), the required material specification and the applicable certification requirements for your specific installation environment.

History

BARTEC was founded in 1975 in Bad Mergentheim, Germany, with the aim of developing high-quality explosion-proof equipment for the oil and gas industry in the Middle East and Europe. The company grew rapidly through its technical expertise in Ex technology and expanded its product line with junction boxes, enclosures and switchgear for all common ATEX zone classifications. In the 1980s and 1990s, BARTEC acquired several international patents on explosion-proof connection technology and established offices in the major industrial countries. Through strategic acquisitions, BARTEC strengthened its position as a fully certified Ex provider for gas and dust explosive environments. Today, BARTEC operates as an international corporation with offices in more than 60 countries and manufactures more than 30,000 certified Ex components.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ATEX certification and why is it important for BARTEC products?
ATEX is the European directive 2014/34/EU that regulates equipment and protective systems for use in explosive atmospheres. All BARTEC products at Verkopershulp.nl are ATEX certified, meaning they can be safely used in zones with flammable gases, vapors, or dust.
What is the difference between Ex d, Ex e, and Ex n protection methods?
Ex d (flameproof enclosure) contains an internal ignition without igniting the surroundings. Ex e (increased safety) prevents sparks through improved construction. Ex n (non-sparking) is intended for zone 2 and zone 22 where an explosive mixture is not normally present but may occur under abnormal conditions.
Which BARTEC products are available for zone 1 applications?
For zone 1 (gas present under normal operating conditions), we carry BARTEC Ex d enclosures, Ex e junction boxes, Ex m cast switches, and Ex i intrinsically safe instrumentation. All these products are certified for continuous presence of explosive gas mixtures.
Are BARTEC products also suitable for dust explosion-hazardous zones (zone 21/22)?
Yes, BARTEC delivers products certified for dust explosion zones (Ex t protection method). These are suitable for zone 21 and zone 22 with flammable dust clouds, such as flour dust, wood dust, and sugar dust. The products feature IP6X protection against dust ingress.
How quickly does Verkopershulp.nl deliver BARTEC ATEX products?
Common BARTEC products in stock are shipped the same business day. Delivery in the Netherlands takes 1-2 business days. Special ATEX configurations or less common models are typically delivered within 2-4 weeks through BARTEC.
Are BARTEC products delivered with ATEX certificates and declarations of conformity?
Yes, all BARTEC products are delivered with the associated ATEX certificates (EU type examination certificate) and a Declaration of Conformity (DoC). Additional documentation such as installation drawings and maintenance instructions are available on request.
Does BARTEC also offer explosion-proof lighting solutions?
Yes, BARTEC delivers an extensive range of explosion-proof lighting fixtures, including LED panel lights, handlamps, searchlights, and emergency lighting units for zone 1 and zone 2. These fixtures comply with the ATEX directive and IECEx standards for international projects.
Can I also assemble complete BARTEC Ex control cabinets at Verkopershulp.nl?
Yes, we supply all components for assembling Ex control cabinets, including Ex d enclosures, Ex e junction boxes, Ex socket outlets, Ex cable glands, and Ex push-button enclosures. Our technical team helps you with the right component selection for your specific installation requirements.
