FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: LAIDIG SYSTEMS, INC.'S CONE-BOTTOM RECLAIMERS RECEIVE ATEX, CE CERTIFICATIONS

Mishawaka, Ind., United States — Laidig Systems, Inc., a bulk material reclaim equipment designer and manufacturer based in the United States, proudly announces its recent ATEX and CE certifications for its line of Cone-Bottom reclaimers. These designations allow Laidig to broaden its global presence by providing material handling solutions for partners across Europe.

The ATEX certification ensures that Laidig's Cone-Bottom reclaimer line is able to be installed in potentially explosive dust atmospheres in accordance with a strict set of health and safety standards. The CE certification indicates Laidig's machines have been deemed to meet the European Union's safety, health, and environmental protection requirements. Both certifications were awarded to Laidig following stringent testing and independent verification purposes.

"Having ATEX/CE certifications on Laidig Cone-Bottom reclaimers allows these very versatile machines to be used in more locations around the world," said Daniel Laidig, owner and CEO of Laidig Systems, Inc. "Additionally, it provides every operating partner peace of mind that Laidig equipment has undergone detailed engineering and rigorous testing to comply with EU directives."

ATEX (ATMOSPHÉRES EXPLOSIVES) DESIGNATION:

Laidig's entire line of Cone-Bottom reclaimers, including its 4300 Series, 5300 Series, 8300 Series, 9300 Series, and 9600 Series is now ATEX-certified as Category 1/2 equipment. The equipment, including its design and construction, has been found to comply with the Essential Health and Safety Requirements set forth by the European Parliament. All Laidig Cone-Bottom reclaimers are certified and will be marked with the following inscription:

CE DESIGNATION:

Laidig's line of Cone-Bottom reclaimers is now CE-certified. In a review, the machinery was found to comply with the listed standards within the EU Machinery and Great Britain Supply of Machinery regulations. All Laidig Cone-Bottom reclaimers, where applicable, will be marked with the "CE" logo.

"We are excited to be able to utilize the CE and ATEX marks on Laidig Cone-Bottom reclaimers. The marks underline the approach we take in providing world-class solutions for our customers," said Vice President of Engineering Tom Lindenman.

Before these designations, Laidig's Cone-Bottom reclaimers were already known worldwide for their versatility and dependability across dozens of industries. Laidig has worked diligently to acquire these certifications for an EU marketplace that demands them; now a much larger group of industries can utilize them.

"Coupling these certifications with the already-proven Cone-Bottom designs will allow Laidig to be able to provide these solutions to a much broader base of business partners within the EU," said International Sales Manager John Koorn. "It truly is a very exciting moment for us here at Laidig."

The reclaimer series was also designed with serviceability in mind, with all motors, drive components, and maintenance points situated outside of the material hopper. The Cone-Bottom's heavy-duty auger and reclaim drive ensure that the equipment can operate and unload a silo even in the harshest conditions. It is ideal for the reclamation of countless materials, including dry bulk meals, flours, brans, powders, and recyclables or wastes.
