Protective measures
It is not always possible to avoid the formation of an exposive atmosphere, so it is essential to avoid the ignition of such a mix.
While regular cleaning to avoid dust deposits is important, appliances that represent a possible ignition source must be kept at a safe distance or designed in such as way that ignition is not possible or not likely.
Ruwac UK offers a range of explosion proof vacuum systems that have the necessary approvals for use in explosive atmospheres. J.T.T. Equipment Services has further information.
