Dust is everywhere, and that is precisely what makes it so dangerous

Dust explosions are one of the most underestimated hazards in industrial manufacturing.

Even the tiniest sparks in industrial processes can be enough to trigger an explosion with serious consequences for staff and production facilities. In many industrial sectors, powdered and dust-like products are processed or are generated during the production process.

When combined with air, they can form an explosive atmosphere. If an effective ignition source is present, a devastating explosion can be triggered.

Antistatic and electrically conductive hoses and connection systems play a major role in explosion protection

Electrostatic charges are often directly linked to industrial processes, such as the transport of solids and liquids through a rigid pipe or a flexible hose. In such cases, the very specific installation situation often determines whether a hose or a connection solution is suitable – or not. To ensure that such potential hazards can be avoided in good time, it is essential to use certified technical hoses from the outset to guarantee that operations are safe and that all regulations are complied with.

The important role played by antistatic and electrically conductive hoses and connection systems in explosion protection in Europe and the USA

Dust explosions are one of the most underestimated hazards in industrial manufacturing. Microscopically fine particles can quickly turn the ambient air into a flammable atmosphere. To help prevent these potential hazards in good time, we have produced a white paper in which our experts explain in detail which components must be taken into account to ensure the safe operation of an industrial plant, particularly in potentially explosive atmospheres, and which certified technical hoses ensure that operations are safe and that all regulations are complied with.
