Evacuation solutions for high-pressure, low-pressure and negative-pressure explosions
Craig Equipment uses Boss Products explosion venting solutions for high-pressure, low-pressure, and negative-pressure applications to evacuate pressure, flames, and dust.
Boss Products explosion vent panels meet all the essential health and safety requirements for an explosive atmosphere. In case of an explosion, the explosion vents are designed to evacuate pressure, flames, and dusts, to a designated location away from people and equipment. A simple and efficient protection system, these highly rated explosion vents are made to resist depressions, pneumatic unclogging cycles, and can be used on silos, hoppers, filters, and cyclones.
The flameless explosion venting device VIGIFLAM Vi is designed in a rectangular shape and consists of three main components: the body, a metal filter composed of several layers to cool flames, and a new innovative explosion panel. This stainless steel membrane is weakened in the middle allowing to rupture when excessive overpressure occurs inside the enclosure intended to be protected.
The purpose of VIGIFLAM Vi is to neutralize the flame effects produced during an explosion, which would typically vent through a standard explosion panel. By containing the flames, it helps protect both people and property within a building or room.
VIGIFLAM Vi is specifically designed for conveyors – bucket, belt, chain, and screw conveyors – due to its compact and efficient design, making it suitable for protecting such equipment in industrial settings.
The VIGILEX® Domed Explosion Vent Panel EV-VD is specifically designed for high negative pressure applications and installations where high psi pulse cleaning mechanisms could cause metal fatigue over time. The dome design is optimal for Hi-Vac filter systems where explosion relief venting is required. Typical applications included dust collector filters, cyclones, and high pressure vessels.
The VIGILEX® Domed Explosion Vent Panel EV-VD is pressure tested and certified in compliance with a variety of test standards. EV-VD vent panels are ideal for OEM and retrofit applications. They are easy to install with premium gaskets and integral flanges.
Standard burst pressure is 1.45 psi / 0.1 bar. Application specific burst pressures between 1.45 psi up to 7 psi are available for special orders.
The VIGILEX® Sanitary Flat Explosion Vent Panel EV-VLSAN is designed specifically for hygienic applications in food and pharmaceutical industries. Dedicated to protect systems with low vacuum or working pressure (up to 50 % of static burst pressure) such as spray dryers.
The high technology design of this vent panel avoids contaminants.
The standard burst pressure is 0.1 bar (max. 0.5 bar) at 22 °C (72°F).
The VIGILEX® High Vacuum Domed Explosion Vent Panel EV-VDHV is specifically engineered to be an ideal solution for applications where negative operating pressures exceed 3 psi or operational metal fatigue is anticipated. Some high energy pulse-jet filter cleaning mechanisms, and systems operating under extreme high pressure, have been known to significantly shorten the life of standard explosion panels.
The VIGILEX® High Vacuum Domed Explosion Vent Panel EV-VDHV is pressure tested and certified under a variety of test standards. EV-VDHV explosion vent panels are ideal for OEM and retrofit extreme duty applications. They are easy to install with premium gaskets and integral flanges.
Standard burst pressure is 1.45 psi / 0.1 bar. Application specific burst pressures between 1.45 psi up to 7 psi are available for special orders.
When an outdoor explosion occurs, explosion vents open and release the explosion flame and pressure wave into the environment.
The VIGISPACE Explosion Vent Deflector EV-VS limits the opening angle of the explosion vent and guides the explosion pressure wave, flames and heat into defined areas.
By decreasing the size of dangerous areas, the VIGISPACE helps to reduce the safety zone to a minimum and increases usable operating space while providing optimum protection against explosions.
The VIGILEX® Flameless Explosion Vent are rectangular explosion devices that combine a standard explosion panel with added protection to prevent flame from entering the environment. The VIGILEX® Flameless Explosion Vent are certified to be suitable for indoor and outdoor applications.
The VIGILEX® Flameless Explosion Vent eliminate the need for costly heavy duty piping that is required for exterior venting when a vessel is installed within the workspace. The integral standard explosion panel bursts during the initial explosion phase. Immediately thereafter, the flame and burnt dust exit the vessel and is contained by the VIGILEX® Flameless Explosion Vent flame arrestor. All VIGILEX® Flameless Explosion Vent are designed with the ability to change the explosion panel without removing the flame arrestor assembly.
