Technical Parameters:

Applications:

1. Grain and Agricultural Product Processing and Storage
Sites: Grain silos, grain elevators, flour mills, sugar mills, cocoa processing plants, coffee processing plants, and feed mills.
Risks: Large amounts of combustible dust, such as flour, starch, powdered sugar, and milk powder, are generated during processing, transportation, and storage. When these fine dusts reach a certain concentration in the air and encounter an ignition source, they can cause a violent dust explosion.
2. Metal Processing and Manufacturing
Sites: Polishing, grinding, and processing workshops for metals such as aluminum, magnesium, titanium, and zirconium; and 3D printing (metal powder) workshops.
Risks: Some metals are highly flammable in powder form, especially aluminum and magnesium powders. Once they form clouds in the air, they can easily ignite and cause a violent explosion.
3. Textile and Wood Processing
Sites: Textile mills (especially those processing fibers such as cotton and linen), man-made fiber mills, wood processing plants, sawmills, and furniture manufacturing workshops.
Risks: Natural fiber dust, man-made fiber dust, and wood dust are all combustible. Accumulating to a certain concentration in a confined space can cause explosions when exposed to a fire source.
4. Municipal and Public Utilities
Sites:
Wastewater treatment plants/biogas plants: The treatment process produces flammable and explosive gases such as methane (biogas) and hydrogen sulfide.
Gas pressure regulating stations/boiler rooms: There is a risk of leakage of fuels such as natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas.
City gas pipeline wells and underground utility corridors: Leaked gas may accumulate.
Landfills/incineration plants: The decomposition of waste produces methane.
 

The Importance of Using Explosion-Proof Products:

Explosion-proof products (such as explosion-proof lamps, explosion-proof control boxes, and explosion-proof cables) are core equipment for ensuring industrial safety, especially in high-risk industries such as the petroleum, chemical, mining, and pharmaceutical industries. Their importance is primarily reflected in the following aspects:
1. Preventing Explosions and Ensuring Personnel Safety
Flammable and Explosive Environments Contain High Risks: Oil, natural gas, and dust, when exposed to sparks or high temperatures, can easily cause explosions.
The Function of Explosion-Proof Products: Through specialized designs (such as flameproof enclosures and intrinsically safe circuits), they prevent internal sparks or high temperatures from igniting hazardous gases/dust.
Reducing Casualties: Preventing worker injuries and deaths from explosions and complying with occupational health and safety regulations (such as OSHA and GB 3836).
Case Study: A chemical plant failed to use explosion-proof lighting, resulting in a methane explosion caused by a short circuit in conventional lighting, resulting in significant casualties.
2. Protecting Critical Equipment and Minimizing Economic Losses
Industrial equipment is expensive: Oil platforms, refineries, coal mines, and other facilities are highly valuable, and explosions can result in tens of millions in losses. Explosion-proof products: Prevent damage to equipment caused by sparks, arcs, or overheating, extending its service life.
Reduce the risk of production downtime: An explosion can cause a factory to shut down for months, disrupting the supply chain.
Case: A fire on an offshore drilling platform caused by a faulty non-explosion-proof motor resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in repair and production losses.
3. Comply with international regulations to avoid legal risks.
Strict global regulation:
EU: ATEX Directive (2014/34/EU) mandates the use of explosion-proof equipment in high-risk areas.
US: NEC (National Electrical Code) 500-506 zone classifications, OSHA regulations.
China: GB 3836-2010 explosion-proof standard, Coal Mine Safety Regulations (AQ standard).
Penalties for violations: Companies that fail to use compliant explosion-proof products may face heavy fines, production suspensions, and even criminal prosecution.
Case: A chemical plant was fined €500,000 and ordered to suspend operations by the EU for using non-certified explosion-proof switches.
