The PDC-XP Portable Dust Collection with optional Explosion Proof Motor and Starter, is a great option in ORDLOC production areas where you might be handling XP dusts as part of a batching or mixing operation. Depending on the environment, and the KST value of the dust, we have a wide range of source-capture methods to choose from.
We have everything from single and dual arm to Downdraft Benches and Wall-Mount Arm options. Call us today and we will get all the details of your application so that we can send you a quote.
Can you better explain what is NFPA 652 Compliance for Vacuums and Dust Collectors?
NFPA 652 requires all facilities handling combustible dust, even in NON-Classified environments, to use vacuum systems that meet very specific design requirements as laid out in NFPA 652 Section 8.4.2.2.
The materials of construction must be conductive, except in a few specific circumstances.
Hoses must be conductive or static dissipative.
All conductive components, including wands and attachments, must be bonded and grounded.
Dust-laden air must not pass through the fan or blower.
Electrical motors must not be in the dust-laden air stream unless listed for Class II, Division I, locations.
Paper filter elements aren’t allowed for picking up liquids or wet materials.
Vacuum systems used for metal dust must meet the requirements of NFPA 484, which is the standard for combustible metals.
What is the NFPA 8 cu ft rule?
“if the system’s air-material separator, such as a filter receiver, dust collector, or cyclone, has an enclosure (dirty-side) volume greater than 8 cu. ft., then the enclosure must be protected against an explosion’s effect by a valid protection method, such as explosion venting, suppression, or containment.”
How is the PDC-XP Portable Dust Collection compliant with NFPA 8 cu ft rule?
The PDC-XP 1000 and 2000 are both compliant with the 8 cu. ft. rule, as the “dirty air” portions of each collector are less than 8 cubic ft.
What are some of the industries and applications that this unit is used for?
By also adding a non-sparking fan wheel and an aluminum spark deflector (and several other key upgrades), the PDC-XP units can be customized to be compliant with NFPA 652 Standard for capture of ST1 explosive dusts. These units are useful in specific applications such as batching or pouring of powders in a lab or factory, as well as industries such as cosmetics, pharmaceutical, aerospace, and defense. Having a detailed conversation ahead of purchase is crucial as every application is unique. Allow Controlled Air Design to customize a unit for your needs!
Grounding Reel and other safety options for HAZLOC Dust Collection
Retractable Grounding Reel. Mounts to SPC unit.
We offer a variety of motor choices with the PDC-XP units. The TEFC Motor that comes standard with the PDC-XP units is acceptable in most ST1 dust collection applications. For severe-duty applications we can offer Explosion-Proof Motors that are UL listed and rated for groups F&G. We also have a Group E Motor available. NEMA 7/9 Starters and VFDs are also available. For use in Class 1 areas where airborne flammable gases and vapors are present, these motors are designed to protect against hazardous gases, vapors and dusts that have explosive properties. Our highly engineered shaft sealing system protects against all three hazardous dust groups.
Optional Dust Collection Spark-Trap
Optional Spark Trap Assembly
An Optional Spark-Trap and FR Filters are available for welding and grinding applications. Or applications where a spark might occur.
Let us know the details of your application so that we can see if a Spark-Trap is needed.
