FLASH™ EXPLOSION SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS
The FLASH™ system is designed for rapid detection and suppression of dust explosions in industrial processes. It prevents the initial explosion from developing into a full-scale event by reacting within 10 milliseconds and deploying a specially formulated food-grade suppressant powder that neutralizes the combustion process.
Operating Principle
The system has a modular design and consists of three main components:
Explosion Detectors – quickly detect pressure spikes, light intensity increases, or a combination of both.
Controller and Indication Unit – processes signals and manages system response.
High-Speed Suppression Cylinder – releases suppressant powder to extinguish the explosion at an early stage.
FLASH™ systems undergo rigorous testing, are ATEX certified, meet SIL 2 requirements, and comply with EN 14373:2021 and EN 15089:2009 standards.
Applications
FLASH™ systems are used in almost all industries handling organic or combustible solids, including:
Food and feed industries
Chemical and pharmaceutical industries
Power generation facilities
They are especially critical in processes involving:
Bucket elevators
Filters
Mills
Dryers
Silos
Conclusion: Investing in a FLASH™ system is a strategic step to enhance industrial safety. Facilities can focus on their core operations, confident that their equipment is protected from explosion hazards.
