Temperature limits during storage

The materials used are specially designed for the temperature range required by the customer.
The relevant temperature limits are specified on the rating plate.
Risk of explosion due to damaged sealing materials
Storing machines at temperatures that do not fall within the specified limits can damage the
material of the seals and cause them to no longer seal correctly. The certified type of protection
of the machine can no longer be complied with.
As a result, a potentially explosive gaseous atmosphere can enter the machine and be ignited
during commissioning. Explosions can occur. This can result in death, serious injury or material
damage.
