Industry applications

Materials, process conditions and connected equipment shape the protection requirements. Explore the typical considerations for your sector.

View all industry applications
Sawmills · Joinery · Wood-based panels

Wood & panels

Sawing, sanding and machining produce wood dust, while drying and pressing add heat to the process.

Milling · Ingredients · Animal feed

Food, grain & feed

Flour, sugar and other finely divided organic materials can form combustible dust clouds.

Fine chemicals · Powders · Solvent processes

Chemicals & pharmaceuticals

Powder handling, drying and solvent-based operations can present very different fire and explosion hazards.

Material recovery · Waste processing

Recycling & waste

Recycling lines handle variable material streams.

Wood pellets · Biofuels · Fuel handling

Biomass & power generation

Pellet production and biomass handling combine combustible material, dust and mechanical processing.

Pulp production · Paper mills · Converting

Pulp, paper & tissue

Drying, fibre handling and converting create different protection challenges across pulp, paper and tissue production.

Metal powders · Surface finishing

Metal processing

Some metals that are difficult to ignite in bulk can become combustible when finely divided.

Polymer production · Compounding · Reprocessing

Plastics & rubber

Fine particles generated when plastics and rubber are processed can create combustible dust hazards.

Grain · Biomass · Dry bulk logistics

Ports & bulk terminals

Bulk terminals bring together unloading, conveying and storage.

Offshore platforms · Process plants · Storage installations

Oil & gas

Offshore and onshore facilities need protection concepts that account for existing equipment, system interfaces and demanding site conditions.
