Electrostatic powder coating involves handling fire- and explosion-hazardous powder-air mixtures. Existing risks must be recognised and taken into account already at the equipment design stage.

The main risks include fire hazard inside the booth, fire hazard in open filters, and explosion hazard in separators (cyclone + filter). These risks arise from combustible powder particles that are extracted from the booth through the ducting.

For example, during the cleaning of filter elements, swirled-up powder particles may ignite. This can cause the filter to burst and pose a significant hazard to both people and equipment.

Common questions about this product.

Frequently asked questions

Which main risks should be considered when selecting an STS fire detection and suppression system?
The main risks include the risk of fire inside the cabin, the risk of fire in open filters, and the risk of explosion in separators (cyclone + filter). These risks arise from combustible powder particles that are drawn out of the cabin through the ducting.
When should fire and explosion risk-related solutions be planned in?
Existing risks must be recognised and taken into account already at the equipment design stage.
Why is cleaning filter elements dangerous?
During the cleaning of filter elements, whirled-up powder particles may ignite, which can cause the filter to burst and pose a significant hazard to both personnel and equipment.
Which process are these fire detection and suppression systems associated with?
These systems are associated with electrostatic powder coating, which involves handling flammable and explosive powder-air mixtures.
