HEALTH & SAFETY EXKOP EXPRESS
REMBE
Controller for multiple isolation systems
In the event of an explosion , the EXKOP Express controller receives a trigger signal , for example from the signalling unit of a flameless venting device , an explosion vent , a pressure detector or an IR-Flame sensor . The EXKOP Express controller then activates the connected explosion isolation systems , causing adjacent plant components to be isolated within milliseconds and protected against explosion propagation . The EXKOP Express is suitable for the following isolation systems : REMBE quench valves QV II and QV III , the Q-Bic extinguishing barrier and the RSV Slide Valve and REDEX Slide .
Together with the REMBE iQ Safety Cockpit , a software program to centrally display the explosion safety of your plant , the EXKOP Express offers the complete monitoring of plant components , process sections and statuses of various protective components . As soon as the EXKOP Express receives a trigger signal in the event of an explosion , it passes this information on to the REMBE iQ Safety Cockpit . Due to the direct notification to the desired communication medium , e . g . the mobile phone of the person in charge , REMBE has enabled causes to be identified in an optimised and targeted manner , thus allowing downtimes to be reduced .

By detecting operationally relevant components for explosion protection or temperature / fire gas detectors and grounding systems for explosion prevention , they can be registered via the REMBE iQ Safety Cockpit and connected to material management . So if a disruptive event such as an explosion occurs , the system detects which areas are affected and provides information about which spare parts are needed to restore the plant to a safe condition as quickly as possible . These functions can be presented in the operator ’ s system as a “ suggestion ” or can be sent directly to the manufacturer as a nonbinding request . Continuous optimisation of processes is made possible through detailed documentation and evaluation of all results .
