Explosion Isolation Flap for Industrial Dust Collection

The Explosion Isolation Flap is a passive, spring-locked safety valve installed upstream of dust collectors to prevent deflagration propagation. Constructed from durable 316SS or powder-coated mild steel, these valves are designed to remain open during normal process airflow and close instantaneously when a pressure wave is detected. This mechanical response ensures that fire and pressure are blocked from reaching upstream equipment or occupied work zones. Each unit is engineered to minimize airflow resistance, featuring a low pressure drop design that maintains system efficiency. Because the system is entirely mechanical, it eliminates the failure risks associated with electrical sensors or battery backups, making it the industry standard for combustible dust isolation in wood, grain, and metal processing.

Key Capabilities

• Passive mechanical operation requires no external power or maintenance-heavy sensors.
• Integrated latching mechanism prevents the flap from being forced open by residual explosion pressure.
• Compliant with NFPA 69, NFPA 654, and EN 16447-2014 standards for explosion isolation.
• Low pressure drop design (260-400 Pa) preserves blower performance and energy efficiency.
• Suitable for hazardous dust types with Kst values up to 250 bar-m/s.
