After earlier development of its ValvEx flap valves up to size DN400, Fike has now achieved safe passive explosion isolation up to DN800, thereby offering new attractive possibilities for safe powder and bulk dust handling process industries.
In the event of an explosion, the EXKOP Express controller receives a trigger signal, for example from the signaling unit of a flameless venting device, an explosion vent, a pressure detector, or an IR-Flame sensor.
In this incident a process operator working on a pneumatic conveying system heard a crackling noise when powdered material was being transported between the classifier and the loading hopper.
Anyone walking on non-conductive floor coverings can be charged to a voltage as high as 20,000 V! The total energy discharge of a person is about 10mJ.
Reconsidering Composite Vents for Explosion Protection
Wherever combustible dust can accumulate, the risk of an explosive event is present. This poses a significant risk to industries such as Food, Grain, and Feed. Continue reading »
Explosion Isolation Valve VIGIFLAP
Most Flapvalves are tested, in connection with a single pipeline between the vented vessels and the Flapvalve. However, the intended use for a Flapvalve is always with a pipe on both sides. Continue reading »
