Stinger explosion isolation valve from Camfil APC helps keep dust collectors operating safely

Camfil APC offers the Stinger™ explosion isolation valve, an NFPA-compliant way to contain a deflagration that occurs in a dust collector. The flow-activated valve prevents an explosion, smoke, dust, and burning debris from traveling back through the dust collector’s inlet pipe and into the workspace. It is designed and tested to meet NFPA and EN 1779 standards for a variety of applications and dust types.

The lightweight composite blade saves energy and reacts faster than heavier steel blades in the event of an explosion, reports the company. The front side is covered with abrasion-resistant rubber sheeting to protect it from wear.
