If the extraction equipment is incorrectly setup and not maintained frequently particle collections can build up,
forming lumps of debris. In high production rate applications and/or with some materials these lumps may be hot.
If the debris lumps get large enough, they may break free and enter the extraction unit, and if they are hot enough
there is a chance for it to ignite the dust within the pre filter. To prevent this ensure the guidelines for an effective
installation are followed and maintenance as per 8.01, within this manual is followed.
Incorrect – Part of the process equipment
is blocking the fume path, which may cause
a build up of debris.
Correct – All parts of the process
equipment are out of the fume path,
preventing the build up of debris.
