Explosion Venting
What is Explosion Venting?
Explosion Venting is the most tried and tested form of explosion relief. The explosion vent panel is designed to rupture safely as a result of an over-pressure. The deflagration pressure is able to escape first through the vent opening and then into the atmosphere. This prevents the explosion from gaining momentum and having violent consequences.
The explosion panel‘s location is on top or side of the dust collector, process vessel or equipment. And involves using a stainless-steel panel (sometimes referred to as a vent membrane, bursting panel or rupture disc). Generally fitted on silos, filters, mills, crushers, separators, extractors, collectors and many more. In fact, any application providing the post-explosion fire can use explosion venting. So that, vapours can be vented to a safe area.
Euratex Explosion Relief
Indeed, the most cost-effective form of explosion protection is certainly Explosion Venting. So, before considering something as drastic as explosion suppression, find out first if venting will suffice. However, if you’re unsure of your explosion protection requirements, please contact Euratex. We are more than are happy to help!
We not only provide vent calculation designs in accordance with EN 14491. But also, DSEAR assessments and material testing (for example, determining Kst value and dust explosion class). We assist you and your process in becoming safeguarded and ATEX compliant.
Generally, the vented equipment links to other parts of the process specifically via ductwork. In spite of the vent panel relieving the pressure, the propagation can however, return via the ductwork. For this purpose, explosion isolation of ductwork should in fact, always go hand in hand with explosion venting. For explosion isolation, please see here.
Explosion Vents for Dust Collectors
Indeed, the most common scenarios for a dust explosion to occur is in fact, within a dust collector. In effect, a dust collector surely plays host to a large amount of dust. For instance, if this dust disperses in the air and ignites, the result is catastrophic. Explosion vents for dust collectors will then avoid that risk.
Explosion vents also referred to as Explosion Relief Panels, are effective as well as economical. Their role is to, first release the pressure from expanding gases and second, stop the flame propagation of a dust explosion. Flameless Venting is your option granted that you can’t place the dust collector outdoors and away from the personnel. If you require more in detail information on how to protect your dust collector, please contact Euratex immediately.

Emergency Vent PanelS: Replacements
As a result of a vent panel bursting explosion, it is really important to install a replacement vent panel quickly. And therefore, minimise downtime.
Furthermore, we understand that production downtime can subsequently cause a lot of expense. We can identify with this issue too. Therefore, we have worked really hard to find a solution for this ever-frequent request.
Finally, we are happy to announce that we can now offer an emergency vent panel replacement service. Furthermore, we can get a new vent panel to you in as little as 24 hours (subject to availability). Also, we stock the most popular sizes of vent panel at our warehouse in the UK. Above all, our aim is to supply our UK customers with a new vent panel in fast succession.

First of all, explosion venting devices are designed to protect industrial equipment from dust explosions. In other words, they offer protection against damages potentially caused by dust explosions. That said, VMP vent panels offer a very effective function and an economical solution. Above all, the VMP is a reliable system. It not only offers an easy installation technique but also a long service life. When an explosion occurs within a contained vessel, the vent panel opens. As a result, it relieves the pressure of the explosion.
- Filters
- Reservoirs
- Mills
- Crushers
- Cyclones
- And other equipment with a danger of dust explosions
