The official re-release of Fumex PSS – A hygienic and food-safe extraction arm for stringent sanitary requirements

Fumex officially launches the new FUMEX PSS, a food-safe extraction arm for industries with demanding hygiene requirements. The antistatic hose is equipped with our Q-MAiD quick hose connectors which are set to make PSS the most easily cleaned extraction arm in its market segment. The quick connectors also make for easy maintenance, assembly, installation, and disassembly.

– The PSS was originally designed to meet the high demands of the food and pharmaceutical industries. It still has a fully sealed profile, acid-resistant stainless steel and is assembled with few components, making it easy to handle. In this new version, we’ve added ATEX compatibility into the mix, says Lars Hedlund, Technical Manager at Fumex.

Food-grade and ATEX compliant

FUMEX PSS is ATEX compliant and meets the requirements of the ATEX directive for category 2 equipment for gas and dust, and it is suitable for use in zones 1 and 21 as well as 2 and 22. FUMEX PSS also has a food-grade certified hose and stainless steel gas spring.

– The exclusive use of food-graded materials along with ATEX makes the PSS perfect for industries and laboratories with highly set hygienic demands. Without a doubt, one of the best extraction arms on the market, says Lars Hedlund.

The term ”Food Grade” refers to the materials used in various types of equipment for the production of food or food-related products. To be defined as food grade, the materials must be non-toxic and safe for consumption.

External support arms

The extraction arm is designed on the fundamental Fumex principle of using external support arms, which produce the lowest possible pressure drop and pose little risk of
blockage.
