Dini Argeo ATEX Weighing Equipment – Certified for Hazardous & Explosive Atmospheres
Dini Argeo ATEX weighing equipment is a comprehensive range of certified scales, load cells, indicators, and weighing systems engineered for safe, accurate operation in potentially explosive atmospheres. Compliant with the ATEX Directive (2014/34/EU) and UK PSSR regulations, the range covers Zone 1, Zone 2 (gas and vapour hazards) and Zone 21, Zone 22 (combustible dust hazards) — providing complete hazardous area weighing solutions for chemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, oil and gas, paint and coatings production, grain handling, and any industry where flammable gases, vapours, or combustible dusts may be present.
Dini Argeo brings over 50 years of Italian weighing engineering expertise to their ATEX range, combining intrinsically safe (Ex i) and explosion-proof (Ex d) designs with the same precision load cell technology and advanced connectivity found across their standard industrial range. This means operators in hazardous areas benefit from the same accuracy, reliability, and functionality as standard Dini Argeo equipment — without compromising on safety certification. The range includes ATEX platform scales, bench scales, pallet truck scales, crane scales, load cells, junction boxes, and weight indicators, enabling complete hazardous area weighing system builds from a single trusted manufacturer. Full ATEX certification documentation is supplied with all equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose Dini Argeo for ATEX weighing?
Dini Argeo offers one of the most comprehensive ATEX weighing ranges available from a single manufacturer — covering scales, load cells, indicators, and accessories all certified to the same ATEX standards. This simplifies system design, procurement, and compliance documentation, and ensures all components are engineered to work together. Dini Argeo’s 50+ years of weighing expertise means their ATEX equipment delivers the same accuracy and reliability as their standard industrial range.
What is the difference between Zone 1 and Zone 2 ATEX equipment?
Zone 1 is where an explosive gas atmosphere is likely to occur occasionally during normal operation. Zone 2 is where it is unlikely but may occur in abnormal conditions. Zone 1 certified equipment can be used in Zone 2 areas, but Zone 2 certified equipment cannot be used in Zone 1. Always use the zone classification determined by your DSEAR risk assessment to select the correct equipment category.
Do I need a DSEAR risk assessment before purchasing Dini Argeo ATEX equipment?
Yes. Under UK DSEAR (Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations), employers must carry out a risk assessment to identify hazardous areas, classify zones, and specify the correct equipment category. ATEX equipment must be selected to match the zone classification determined by this assessment by a competent person. Our technical team can advise on equipment selection once you have your zone classification confirmed.
Can Dini Argeo ATEX equipment be integrated with process control systems?
Yes. Dini Argeo ATEX indicators include connectivity options for integration with process control, SCADA, and ERP systems. Contact our team for advice on the connectivity options available for your specific application and system requirements.
Is UKAS calibration available for Dini Argeo ATEX equipment?
Yes. UKAS-traceable calibration certificates are available on request. Calibration of hazardous area equipment must be carried out following appropriate safe working procedures for the classified zone. Contact our team for calibration, commissioning, and service support specific to your hazardous area installation.
