PrestiVac is an innovative designer and manufacturer of technologically advanced and premium quality industrial vacuum systems for a wide variety of industrial operations.
Any combustible material can burn rapidly when in a finely divided form. If such a dust is suspended in air in the right concentration, under certain conditions, it can become explosive. Even materials that do not burn in larger pieces (such as aluminum or iron), given the proper conditions, can be explosible in dust form.
The vast majority of natural and synthetic organic materials, as well as some metals, can form combustible dust. The NFPA’s Industrial Fire Hazards Handbook states, “Any industrial process that reduces a combustible material and some normally non-combustible materials to a finely divided state presents a potential for a serious fire or explosion.”
Our Explosion Proof / Dust Ignition Protected Vacuums comply with NFPA 484 guidelines and are an effective tool for good housekeeping practise as per OSHA.
