In industrial sectors where combustible dust is present, there is a risk of dust explosions. Examples include food production, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, paper mills, mining, textile production (etc.). On this page you will find resources to increase your knowledge of the risk of dust explosions in your company.
Handling combustable dust is not just a work environment issue – it is a potentially deadly threat. When fine dust from materials such as wood, metal, plastic or grain swirls into the air and meets an ignition source, it can lead to an explosion with catastrophic consequences.
Every year, accidents occur in industries and construction sites where combustible dust is involved. The risks are often underestimated, but the consequences can be devastating – both for people’s lives and for the business.
An ATEX solution from Dustcontrol is tailored to meet the customer’s specific needs. By capturing dust directly at the source, the spread of dust, as well as health and environmental risks, is minimized—while productivity and the working environment are improved.
Our solutions not only increase productivity and enhance results, but also reduce the risk of creating an explosive dust atmosphere without introducing any ignition source. The equipment minimizes the need for manual cleaning through efficient source extraction and enables smooth, safe, and routine maintenance.
A safe working environment is not just about complying with ATEX directives and legislation – it is about protecting lives, securing production and avoiding major costs.
