Playing it safe

For most companies, safety is one of the main requirements for any dust removal unit, along with trouble-free operation and cost- effectiveness.

This is precisely why many of our products have been designed with explosion protection.

Many applications require the safe extraction of flammable and explosive dusts, such as flour, powdered milk, sugar, wood swarf, coal dust etc. For these applications, the filter unit can be outfitted with explosion protection that conforms to the requisite safety regulations for the prevention of explosions and, where necessary, is constructed to withstand explosions in accordance with the European standard:

DIN EN 1127-1

Potentially explosive atmospheres - explosion protection Part 1: Basic principles and systems engineering.

This European standard guideline is in large parts consistent with the U.S. standard »NFPA 68«, but is only applied for dust mixtures, not gases.

The specification and outfitting of the requisite safety features depend on operational requirements and local conditions of the filter environment.
