Many industrial facilities handle combustible particulate material which pose fire and explosion hazards. Managing combustible dust hazards is critical to ensure the safety of the plant personnel and operations. In order to effectively manage combustible dust hazards they must first be identified and understood. |

The Gold Series Dust Collector has proven itself to work well in cardboard, paper scrap, metal and plastic packaging applications. The vertical cartridge design is well suited for these applications compared with bag collectors. Its cross-flow inlet design and vertical pleated cartridges keep materials from bridging, especially in corrugated boxboard production.
For paper slits, cutoffs and extremely fibrous material, nylon overbags can be installed on the cartridges to prevent bridging and wedging in the pleats. Constructed from heavy-duty carbon steel to meet the demands of your application, the collector has unparalleled strength and life compared to the competition. |

Dangerous airborne dust particles are produced when paperboard, plastic and metal packaging materials are manufactured. Though these particles might not be visible to the naked eye, they can be toxic to workers and cause combustible dust explosions. This eBook answers frequently asked questions about these dust dangers and how to minimize risk and achieve regulatory compliance. |

Approximately 2.3 million professionals face exposure to crystalline silica at work. In 2016, OSHA updated the exposure regulations for silica for the first time since 1971. Two years later, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) reported on the largest cluster of black lung disease among active coal miners. A year later, California identified more than 70 cases of silicosis in countertop fabricators. |
