Automated intralogistics for explosion-protected areas

For chemical, pharmaceutical and hazardous materials logistics, we develop intralogistics solutions that seamlessly combine automation, explosion protection and fire protection for maximum process safety.

Explosion-proof - Process-safe - Efficient

Future-proof automation for your explosion-proof logistics

Explosive logistics environments place the highest demands on technology, safety and process stability. In chemical, pharmaceutical and hazardous materials logistics, automation, explosion protection and fire protection must work together seamlessly. We develop automated intralogistics solutions for explosion-protected areas that enable safe material flows, maximum system availability and efficient storage processes.

Certified components and integrated explosion protection concepts reduce risks and meet regulatory requirements such as ATEX. At the same time, automated storage and conveying processes increase throughput and minimize manual intervention in sensitive areas.

Our intelligent EX protection modular system includes certified, low-emission components for special environments that enable automated and semi-automated goods movements in ATEX zones and air particle-reduced cleanrooms without ignition sources. Whether airlock, conveyor system, storage and retrieval unit or industrial truck with loading station: all the necessary modules are designed, documented and approved in special versions for the respective EX zone and meet the legal requirements for handling and storing hazardous goods and for use in explosive environments.

This allows you to benefit fully from the advantages of automated storage and conveying processes, even in sensitive special environments: maximum storage density with optimum use of space; full transparency of stock levels and goods movements at all times; low-vibration, short transport routes; high throughput and fast conveying with minimum manual intervention and maximum process reliability; durable, robust mechanical design for maximum operational readiness and low total cost of ownership (TCO) à la Stöcklin.

Modular EX protection system kit

The modular EX protection system kit from Stöcklin includes automated high-bay warehouses for hazardous material pallets with EX-protected storage and retrieval machines and conveyor technology in a special design.

These systems are supplemented by specially equipped industrial trucks and loading infrastructures for EX zones.

The agile system design makes it possible to flexibly expand your systems or adapt them to changing production and logistics structures.

We manufacture all EX protection solutions and components precisely according to your specific requirements and needs - in-house at our Technology Center in Laufen.

Energy efficiency and sustainable operation

Energy efficiency is also becoming increasingly important in explosion-protected areas. Our automation solutions offer a wide range of options for sustainably reducing energy consumption. Modern lithium-ion technology and charging infrastructure encapsulated for EX zones ensures an efficient energy supply for industrial trucks and transport systems: Because charging processes can take place without outgassing within the EX zone, long distances to remote stations and time-consuming battery maintenance off-site are no longer necessary. Fast charging processes are possible. This reduces energy consumption and CO₂ emissions - with improved availability and without compromising on safety or performance.

Automation is a decisive factor for safe and efficient logistics processes in hazardous areas. Precise technology, controlled material flows and certified innovation can minimize risks while increasing productivity and transparency.

Comprehensive EX protection

Explosion protection does not end with the commissioning of a system. Planning, engineering, certified components, maintenance and operation must be consistently taken into account throughout the entire life cycle. We guarantee this with certified qualified persons both on your premises and at our Technology Center in Laufen.

Because only when explosion protection, automation and service are considered holistically can safe, economical and future-oriented logistics solutions be realized.
