Lumiglas®

Lumiglas – the observation of process operations taking place 

that is what lumiglas offers.

Lumiglas stands for sight and light ; for ideal visual control.

These inspections are carried out either by the process operative directly on the spot or without the need to access the plant, by means of the Lumiglas VISULEX Ex camera system. The combination of light and sight glass, created by Papenmeier- the first of many Lumiglas patents- is the ideal low cost solution for the user: the additional cut-out for a second sight port in the case of separate ports is avoided.

More security- less cost!

Lumiglas is internationally renowned and used by leading companies worldwide, particularly in explosion hazardous areas of the chemical, bio and pharmaceutical industries: mineral oil refining as well as foodstuffs and beverage industries, nuclear power plant, machine construction, electro industry, water treatment and shipbuilding.

Lumiglas means: 

Individually tailored resolution of problems; using economically attractive standard products or special designs to clients’ own specification. 

A closely woven network of agencies both in and out of the country ensures efficient customer and after sales service.

Also comes in non-Ex

Lumiglas supply this stainless glass luminaire in two versions for use in potentially explosive environments and for normal operating conditions.

Designed for use with rectangular / longitudinal sight glass units; installed in bioreactors, laboratory mixers, filters and, generally, all normally closed tanks, agitators, separators, pipelines and other vessels operated in explosion-hazardous environments (Zones 1 and 2) as well as in non-hazardous work areas.

Suitable for use in the food processing sector

The Lumistar luminaire REL 01/REL 01-Ex is a complete unit ready for fitting. It is attached directly to the cover flange of a rectangular sight glass unit by means of two screws.

The REL01 unit has been designed to fit snugly into the side of rectangular / longitudinal sightglasses, length = 250 mm
The Luminaire REL 01 comes ready for fitting, 2 screws enable it to be bolted straight onto the cover flange of the longitudinal sightglass.

Compact design, high light output, low energy consumption:

21 special LEDs ensure dazzle-free illumination.

Together with the corresponding electronic switchgear, these LED are resin-cast into the stainless steel housing which is then secured to the rectangular fitting.

The service life of this luminaire is virtually unlimited; even if one of the diodes fails after a long period of operation, the remaining LED still provide more than enough light intensity.

Type of protection: Provided the luminaire has been properly installed, it is dust- and splash-proof, IP 65  acc. to DIN EN 60529/DIN VDE 0470 Part 1

Operating Voltage / Power: 24V / 2W

Where the Luminaire is to be used in explosion hazardous areas, connection must be to an intrinsically safe power supply circuit.
