Explovent wall panels are suitable for applications in facilities where potentially explosive atmospheres exist and require explosion venting.

The panels are designed to be the weakest part of the external structure. As the explosion vent experiences pressure rise, it opens quickly allowing the rapidly expanding heated gasses to be released to the outside, and thereby diffuses a potential explosion.

Features

• Code compliant
• Lightweight, low inertia panel design, allows quick venting and the protection of the facility
• System can be field tested for release through non-destructive means
• Explovent, with its unique hinged design and resettable latch, can handle frequent cycling. Minor wind driven activation will not compromise the system
• Smooth bevelled surfaces on the panel reduce dust accumulation and allow for ease of cleaning, a key to eliminating secondary dust explosions
• Our rotating hold open device protects the structure from implosion forces as super heated gasses begin to cool
