Is a closed door really enough to protect your laboratory or factory from ignition risks—or can air itself become a critical vulnerability? In sensitive work environments, the entrance often turns into a leakage point for combustible dust, volatile vapors, or chemical mist that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
With continuous operations, any conventional solution becomes a risk: rising temperatures, contamination of the production environment, higher energy costs—and worst of all, the possibility of a spark where zero error is allowed.
That is exactly why the AXi ATEX air curtain was engineered to deliver a high-velocity air/thermal barrier with safety standards suitable for explosive atmospheres. Read on to explore its key advantages and real operational value.
Why Is AXi ATEX the Best Air Curtain for Explosive Areas?
AXi ATEX air curtain solutions help secure your facility entrance before infiltrating air turns into a factor that increases risk inside hazardous environments, where fine dust and volatile vapors may be present without warning. When operations run continuously and safety is non-negotiable, the required air curtain must combine a high-speed thermal barrier with certified protection for sensitive zones.
- AXi ATEX air curtain is designed to reduce ignition risks in hazardous areas.
- High-velocity air/thermal barrier suitable for continuous operation where safety is mandatory.
- Strong protection against combustible dust and flammable gases in sensitive environments.
- Ideal for factories and laboratories that demand higher safety levels than conventional air curtains.

Where Are AXi ATEX Air Curtains Used?
AXi ATEX air curtain systems are used when the working environment is sensitive to the presence of flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dust, or when the facility requires an air barrier that prevents contamination and maintains operational stability at entrances. They are ideal for sectors that cannot rely on conventional solutions at access points.
- Power generation and petrochemical facilities.
- Pharmaceutical industries and laboratories.
- Hazardous warehouses and storage of Class 1 liquids and gases.
- Food manufacturing and agricultural processing.
- Manufacturing and heavy industries (welding, foundries, paint booths).

Frequently Asked Questions About AXi ATEX Air Curtains in Saudi Arabia
1- What is an AXi ATEX air curtain, and is it suitable for flammable gases, vapors, and combustible dust?
AXi ATEX is an industrial air curtain certified for ATEX environments, creating a high-velocity air/thermal barrier at entrances. It is designed for hazardous areas to reduce ignition risks and is suitable for environments where flammable gases, vapors, or combustible dust may be present within sensitive operating zones.
2- What does ATEX certification mean for air curtains, and when does it become mandatory in a factory?
ATEX certification means the air curtain is classified and engineered for use in potentially explosive atmospheres caused by flammable gases, vapors, or dust, in accordance with defined safety requirements. It becomes mandatory when safety assessments classify certain zones as hazardous areas, where non-certified equipment is typically not permitted.
3- What does IP66 protection ensure in industrial environments, and why is it important during cleaning?
The IP66 rating guarantees two key protections:
(6) Complete protection against dust ingress, essential for industrial and combustible dust environments.
(6) Strong resistance to high-pressure water jets from any direction.
This makes it critical for facilities that rely on intensive cleaning processes or internal wash-down methods without compromising equipment integrity.
