ATEX sensors from Rechner - your ideal partner

17th July 2018

Rechner Sensors produced their first certified sensor for an explosion application back in 1974 which makes them one the oldest and most experienced producers of these application critical sensors. In addition they are also the world leader in the design and manufacturer of capacitive sensors.

With so much experience and expertise please rely on Rechner as your sensor partner for any applications in explosive environments.

Rechner provide all of the building blocks for any sensor installation in DUST or GAS explosion zoned applications, including certified sensors for the defined zone in a very broad range of sizes and formats, plus cable connections and approved ATEX interface amplifiers for interconnection to the system control.
