Hidden Dangers of Dust and Powders
The Combustible Nature of Dust and Powders
Dust and powders can explode, combust and ignite in the presence of a spark.
Protection solutions start with AI simulated scenarios to ensure facility and manufacturing operations are covered by identifying hidden dangers of accidental ignition, explosion and combustion.
We rely on fire protection solutions from IEP Technologies, and you should too.
When manufacturing processes include or create dust and powders, spark detection is critical.
The Solution is Spark Detection and Suppression
Spark detection and suppression protects machines and materials in manufacturing. Common industrial and manufacturing processes where dust and powders are present: dust collectors, silos, mills, food manufacturing where powdered ingredients can become airborne such as cake mixes, baking flour, grain, milling and blending operations.
Spark Detection Systems:
• Infrared systems provide continuous 24/7 monitoring and response
• Ultra-fast detection—often in milliseconds.
• Automatically activates water or CO2 nozzles to extinguish the spark
