Safety systems for industrial filtration
Based on this company’s FlameStop flame arrester (photo), the Flameless unit is used on the clean-gas side of a sinter-plate filter to provide pressure relief in the event of a flameless explosion. Numerous explosion tests have demonstrated that neither flame nor smoke occur with the clean-gas-side pressure relief in the case of dust explosions in the filter unit. The Sinter-plate filter has a sustainable effect as a protection system according to ATEX, and thus as an ignition breakthrough-proof, explosion-decoupling system. The FlameBreak protects property in filtration systems in accordance with ISO 19353, “Safety of Machinery —Fire Prevention and Fire Protection.” The concept includes secure fire detection by means of detection cable, the integrated control and signal processing, as well as active firefighting using an extinguishing aerosol. The fire protection concept is suitable for fire-class A, B and C. Hall 4.0, Stand B23. — Herding GmbH Filtertechnik, Amberg, Germany
