VIGILEX AND STUVEX CONVEYOR SAFETY SYSTEMS

In industrial production, any conveying equipment — bucket elevators, belt conveyors, heavy-duty or light conveyors — requires reliable explosion protection, since safety and operational stability are not just advantages, but vital necessities. That is why our company, in partnership with leading brands VIGILEX and StuvEx, offers a wide range of solutions: from monitoring and control systems to explosion relief panels, valves, detectors, and fast suppression systems that provide comprehensive protection for equipment, products, and personnel.

VIGILEX — Explosion Protection and Safety Control for Conveyors

VIGILEX provides high-tech components for industrial explosion protection:

 Explosion venting panels open instantly when pressure exceeds the limit, preventing equipment destruction;

 ATEX, EN 14491, EN 14797, EN 14994, INERIS certifications ensure compliance with European standards;

 Monitoring and sensors — speed, misalignment, panel status, automatic shutdown in case of deviations;

Versatility — suitable for belt and heavy-duty conveyors, bucket elevators, silos, feed production lines. 

StuvEx — Integrated Detection, Suppression, and Preventive Control Systems

StuvEx enhances safety not only with components but also with “all-in-one” solutions:

 Fast explosion/fire suppression systems (e.g., Flash™) — when detectors identify the first signs of danger, the system reacts instantly, releases the extinguishing agent, and isolates the hazardous zone.

 Detectors for sparks, temperature, pressure/optical deviations, which activate at the earliest stages of risk.

 Grounding and electrostatic control systems — essential for preventing sparks that could cause ignition or explosions in dusty or combustible environments.

Full service spectrum — from design and installation to commissioning and maintenance.

STUVEX Fire and Explosion Protection Systems


Since 2017 I have handled project‑based sales for manufacturing and processing plants: implementing integrated solutions, streamlining processes, and opening new business lines. At START‑UP I am in charge of technology selection, client support, and the development of aspiration (dust‑collection) and explosion‑protection systems; I have delivered projects that improve safety and boost the throughput of conveying lines. I am a mechanical‑engineering graduate (UkrDUZT, 2012) with an MBA (2018). My priorities are quality, results, and long‑term partnerships.

Frequently Asked Questions

What industries require security systems?

Security systems are a necessary component of equipment protection in all industries - oil refineries and chemical plants, gas plants, elevators, silos, conveyors, grain dryers, cyclone traps, dust collectors, etc. 

  • The explosion-proof panel provides safety for personnel and equipment, reducing the risk of damage or loss of property and life.
  • The shift/displacement sensor prevents a dangerous situation with friction of the traction body against the box and possible destruction of the equipment.
  • The speed sensor is designed to control the speed of rotation of the shaft and the sliding of the belt on the conveyor equipment.

The cause of the explosion can be the ignition of flammable gas, steam or dust, which are mixed with air during processing, moving or storing products. Pressure builds up rapidly inside the container and if the container is not strong enough to withstand the deflagration pressure, significant damage can result.

  • Explosive discharge panels have special protective properties that allow them to work in conditions of increased risk of explosion. Explosive discharge panels are membranes with a given plane, designed for low burst pressure, installed on the structure to be protected. In the event of a fire, when a burst pressure of a predetermined value occurs, the explosion-discharge panels provide a quick and unrestricted opening, due to which the combustion products, increasing in volume, exit through the outlet.
  • The principle of operation of the shift/displacement sensor is based on the pressure of the end of the tape on the sensor plate or thermal friction. The trigger signal is sent to the controller - and the system immediately stops the conveyor.
  • The speed sensor is installed on a known drum and, if the set value is exceeded, gives a signal about the occurrence of an emergency situation.

VIGILEX explosive discharge panels are products certified by the French authorized body INERIS - the National Institute for Industrial Environment and Industrial Risks, confirmed by the ATEX explosion protection certificate.
