Explosion risks are created any time dusts are generated during conveying, transferring, processing, pulverizing, or storing processes. Aluminum, cellulose, charcoal, corn, flour, fungicides, grain, pharmaceuticals, plastics, resin, starch, and sugar are all highly combustible materials when in dust form, especially when using equipment such as Bucket Elevators and Screw Conveyor Systems. The risk of a combustible dust explosion can be mitigated with proper explosion venting, isolation and suppression equipment, and dust collection components. Our team has the expertise and products to protect your people and your facility from combustible dust explosions in compliance with NFPA standards. By providing a few simple parameters about your product, we can offer solutions for material handling that is built to suit and protect your operation.
