Dust Explosion Demonstrator Apparatus
Even commonplace materials when dispersed as a dust cloud will explode if exposed to an ignition source. Such dust explosions can cause, injury to personnel, plant damage and lost production. Personnel awareness of the hazards from dust explosions is essential in reducing the risk. This apparatus is highly effective in achieving an understanding of the dangers involved.
