Is Your Factory Safe From A Dust Collector Explosion?
Explosion Vent
Currently, OSHA has identified over 30,000 manufacturing facilities where this dust explosion hazard exists and many of these companies are not even aware of it! Dust fires can be devastating to an industrial facility. Damage to plant facilities, lost production time, increased insurance premiums, and injury to plant personnel are some of the costs associated with an incident of this type. Dust fires are relatively common occurrences in a variety of industries. Plants equipped with pneumatic handling and air filtration systems have an inherent risk associated with the operation of these systems. Bag Type Collectors used for the collection of fine dusts present a special problem because of the use of combustible fabric even when the dust is noncombustible. Even bags of low combustibility will not withstand temperatures normally encountered under fire conditions. Because of the combustibility of the bags, ductwork, or of the material being transferred through them, the installation of an automatic carbon dioxide extinguishing system or explosion vents are justified.
