The storage of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, or flammable raw materials leaves no room for improvisation. To meet the strictest safety requirements, Cubner offers solutions for ATEX refrigerated containers certifiedCombining the robustness of the shipping container and cutting-edge engineering, our container plus refrigeration unit assemblies guarantee an uninterrupted cold chain, even in the most unstable environments.
What is an ATEX refrigerated container?
An ATEX (Explosive Atmospheres) refrigerated container is a Reefer container whose internal and external components have been modified to eliminate any risk of sparking or excessive heat source.
Unlike a standard refrigerated container, the ATEX model is designed to store volatile substances (solvents, alcohols, liquefied gases) or to be installed directly in a high-risk production area. At Cubner, we transform these refrigerated modules into fully secure zones.
Tech note: La ATEX regulations (Directive 2014/34/EU) is mandatory whenever an atmosphere can become explosive due to local and operational conditions.
