Industry applications
Materials, process conditions and connected equipment shape the protection requirements. Explore the typical considerations for your sector.
View all industry applicationsWood & panels
Sawing, sanding and machining produce wood dust, while drying and pressing add heat to the process.
Milling · Ingredients · Animal feedFood, grain & feed
Flour, sugar and other finely divided organic materials can form combustible dust clouds.
Fine chemicals · Powders · Solvent processesChemicals & pharmaceuticals
Powder handling, drying and solvent-based operations can present very different fire and explosion hazards.
Material recovery · Waste processingRecycling & waste
Recycling lines handle variable material streams.
Wood pellets · Biofuels · Fuel handlingBiomass & power generation
Pellet production and biomass handling combine combustible material, dust and mechanical processing.
Pulp production · Paper mills · ConvertingPulp, paper & tissue
Drying, fibre handling and converting create different protection challenges across pulp, paper and tissue production.
Metal powders · Surface finishingMetal processing
Some metals that are difficult to ignite in bulk can become combustible when finely divided.
Polymer production · Compounding · ReprocessingPlastics & rubber
Fine particles generated when plastics and rubber are processed can create combustible dust hazards.
Grain · Biomass · Dry bulk logisticsPorts & bulk terminals
Bulk terminals bring together unloading, conveying and storage.
Offshore platforms · Process plants · Storage installationsOil & gas
Offshore and onshore facilities need protection concepts that account for existing equipment, system interfaces and demanding site conditions.
