In industrial environments where the risk of dust explosion is present, ensuring the safety of equipment and operators is a top priority. The company STIF, leader on the market of passive explosion protection technology, addresses this challenge with VIGIFLAM VI, a revolutionary device designed for indoor flameless explosion venting.
Risk of Dust Explosion
A mixture of air and dust can be explosive under certain conditions. When flammable material is handled in large quantities, the dust level can become so high that there is a risk of explosion. When flammable dust is mixed with air and the dust concentration becomes sufficiently high, the fire in one particle can ignite the other - and then things go wrong.
Flameless Explosion Venting
Flameless explosion relief enables safe explosion relief in enclosed or indoor areas without the release of flames, sparks, and heat to the surroundings. The system can thus be used for machines and equipment located in areas that are difficult to access, without the need for conversion or adaptation of building parts, which typically must be carried out when using classic types of explosion relief.
Optimized Design for Enhanced Safety
VIGIFLAM VI effectively neutralizes the effects of flames, embers, and other burning elements that are released during an explosion discharge, significantly reducing risks to people and infrastructure within industrial buildings. The system is a rectangular flameless explosion venting device composed of three key elements:
- A body ensuring reliable attachment to the protected enclosure.
- A multi-layer metal filter designed to cool and contain flames.
- An innovative explosion panel weakened at its center, allowing controlled rupture in case of excessive overpressure. This innovation enables the reduction of the space required for the panel to open and intrinsically the height and weight of VIGIFLAM VI.
Tailored Protection for Conveyors
Conveyors are often exposed to explosion risks due to the presence of combustible dust. Installing VIGIFLAM VI significantly minimizes potential damage by preventing flame propagation and protecting infrastructure and personnel.
VIGIFLAM VI is intended for industries with production sites that need to be protected against dust explosion risks inside buildings, including cereal, wood and pharmaceutical industry.Thanks to its compact and high-performance design, VIGIFLAM VI is particularly optimized for the protection of industrial enclosures such as:
- Bucket elevators
- Belt, chain, and screw conveyors
- Filter units, bins, mills, crushers, and cyclones
VIGIFLAM VI is intended for industries with production sites that need to be protected against dust explosion risks inside buildings, including cereal, wood and pharmaceutical industry.
