Certification on requestATEX-zone reel assessment — configuration to be confirmed
Some DEMAC catalogue families are presented with an ATEX version available on request. This indication does not cover the standard version or every derived configuration. For each complete reference, GEDO obtains written confirmation from DEMAC of the version’s eligibility, marking and applicable documents before quotation.
Choose a reel suited to your installation
Whether you have a part number to replace or a new installation to equip, ATEX certification can be included in your enquiry from the outset.
Spring-driven reels
Several hydraulic families offer an ATEX configuration on request. Start with the number of hoses and the usable length to define your requirements.

Custom or motorised: specific assessment
A custom-built or motorised reel requires a specific assessment. No ATEX availability is assumed until DEMAC has confirmed the complete configuration in writing.
Prepare my custom projectThe images illustrate reel families. Certification applies to the configuration ordered: a standard version is not automatically an ATEX version.
ATEX assessment for a custom-built reel
For a custom-built, spring-driven or motorised reel, GEDO sends the specification to DEMAC. Only the manufacturer’s written response establishes whether an ATEX version is available and, where applicable, its marking and documents.
Reel and drive
Hoses or cable, usable length and installation position. For spring return or motor drive, specify the movement, speed and expected operation.
Your ATEX environment
The zone concerned, gases or dusts, temperatures and documentation requirements for your installation.
Replacing a reel in an ATEX zone?
Send the full part number and a legible photograph of the nameplate. If available, include the instructions, declaration of conformity and a view of the installation. We can then identify the configuration to replace and check the specifications to retain.
Cannot find the part number? A photograph of the equipment, its dimensions and the available information about your installation allow us to start the assessment.
Certification and documents to arrange
The zone, substances present and operating conditions determine the requirements to be met. The proposed configuration, its marking and the conformity documents must be confirmed before ordering. For a motorised reel, this check covers the entire configuration supplied, not just the motor.
Also available: HDAtex rotary unions
DEMAC also offers HDAtex rotary unions for hydraulic circuits. If your enquiry concerns this component, see its configuration and part numbers on the dedicated product page.
