The combustion temperatures and thermal combustion energies of metal dusts far exceed those for other types of dust. In the case of an explosion, the temperature can reach approx. 3000 °C (5400 °F) and can cause devastating damage when combined with the sudden pressure wave. Explosion safety for companies in the metalworking industry is therefore difficult and expensive, especially for machines used indoors. Until recently, most companies in this sector have used wet separators in order to prevent explosions. However, the resulting sludge is not only difficult to handle but also expensive to dispose of correctly.
Q-Rohr® is the world’s first protective system for flameless explosion venting to be certified for metal dusts in accordance with EN 16009. It is THE cost-efficient solution for indoor explosion safety in the metalworking industry. Expensive and complicated safety systems are no longer required.
Advantages
- REMBE® is the first manufacturer in the world to be certified for metal dusts.
- Perfect protection of the surrounding area. Guaranteed flame arresting and particulate retention – no hazardous pressure wave effects.
- The complete production process remains in the building.
- No running costs for the disposal of sludges (wet separator) and filings or for external maintenance. A visual inspection is sufficient.
- The Q-Rohr® is a flexible solution – it can even be used in the middle of your production halls. Proximity to an external wall is not required.
- Integrated signalling unit for reliable monitoring.
- Noise level and rise of pressure typically associated with explosions are greatly reduced to an acceptable harmless level.
