Summary of Information Requested

It is important to us that we find out what is important to you, and offer the most effective solution for your specific dust collector needs.  To accomplish that, we will need to know as much of the following information from you as possible:

The purpose of the explosion latch is to protect the equipment from being destroyed during a deflagration.  Applications range from wood dust to all types of chemicals that may be explosive under certain conditions.  In addition to the explosion latches, all dust systems may be designed with “back draft” or “fire,” type in-line dampers that will protect the employees inside the building in the event of a deflagration or fire.   Additionally, dampers can be installed on the exhaust of the fan so that airflow is eliminated to choke the oxygen from fueling fire. 

 

Explosion latches, or explosion vents are designed with “refrigerator” type latch mechanisms that will allow the door to reseal after the explosions.   Fully adjustable explosion latches are designed for high and low-pressure explosions.  Explosion vents reseal themselves and do not need to be replaced like other less desirable type vents.   We can also supply blow out panels for competitors dust collectors, such as torit, farr, and american air filter. 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 this type of incident. 

 

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.  Bags of low combustibility will not withstand temperatures normally encountered under fire conditions.  Because of the combustibility of the bags, duct work, or of the material being transferred through them, the installation of an automatic carbon dioxide extinguishing system or explosion vents are justified.
