“Dust” is not exactly a term that strikes fear into the hearts of many. Perhaps more so an everyday annoyance to most, dust can actually pose a significant threat in the industrial setting. Whether your facility handles products in powdered form like: egg whites, soy, flour, NFDM, corn meal, malted hops, or numerous other products and materials, combustible dust explosions could be a potentially life-threatening hazard (“Combustible Dust”). Though by no means a recent problem, awareness about combustible dust has become more pronounced since a 2008 explosion in a Georgia sugar refinery claimed the lives of fourteen people. This renewed focus on combustible dust has been the concern of OSHA, media outlets, and facility managers alike.
The combination of combustible dust, an ignition source, and oxygen is enough to trigger a fire. Add to that a concentration of particles and confinement of a dust cloud, and a catastrophic explosion can occur (“Combustible Dust in Industry”). Plant managers can refer to OSHA’s site: http://www.osha.gov/dsg/combustibledust/index.html for information on preventing a combustible dust tragedy, and for information on standards that are meant to ensure worker and facility safety.
Nelson-Jameson offers several Nilfisk-Advance vacuum models that are explosion-proof.

Available in Buna, Viton, EPDM, Teflon, and Silicone, color-coded gaskets can be manufactured in virtually any color for virtually any application. Color coded gasket programs are a great way to manage and monitor your plant maintenance schedules.
Annual color changes will allow your maintenance and production employees to immediately determine when the last time a gasket was changed as soon as the clamp is removed, making missed gaskets obvious. Color-coded programs help to ensure that gaskets are changed out regularly and that your piping connections are securely sealed to reduce the risk of leaks and product loss.
Color coded gaskets can also be used for designating production/product lines. Especially in congested piping configurations, complete line gasket changes become faster and easier. Employees can immediately see if they are working on the correct line based on the gasket color.
