At Bomaksan, we understand that safety risks related to combustible and explosive dust vary significantly depending on the type of material used, the process structure, and the physical layout of the facility. That’s why we offer customized Ex-Proof Dust Collector and filtration systems designed in compliance with ATEX standards—whether you’re working with organic combustible dust like flour, starch, or sugar, or handling metallic or chemical powders.

III Filtration of Combustible and Explosive Dust with Ex-Proof Dust Collectors
In production processes where combustible and explosive dust is generated, transporting, processing, or collecting this dust poses serious risks. When suspended in air at the right concentration, combustible dust can ignite or explode if exposed to a spark or hot surface. These particles also endanger worker health, damage equipment, and compromise production safety. That’s why implementing a properly designed Ex-Proof Dust Collector and filtration system is critically important.
In applications where combustible and explosive dust is released, maintaining a safe working environment requires effective and reliable combustible dust collection—it is not optional, but essential.
Fine combustible dust emitted from silos, bunkers, screens, crushers, conveyors, and transfer points—as well as from grinding, polishing, and cutting processes—can mix with air and form explosive atmospheres. Even a small spark or static discharge can trigger severe fires or dust explosions. Without proper and secure extraction and filtration systems, this dust can accumulate inside equipment and pose serious health and safety risks.
Although the explosiveness of dust depends on its chemical composition and particle size, industries such as food, metal, plastic, chemical, and pharmaceutical are particularly vulnerable. The risk is even greater in enclosed or poorly ventilated environments.
Industrial Ex-Proof Dust Collectors used in explosive dust areas must be designed in compliance with international standards such as ATEX and NFPA. The type, quantity, particle size, and density of the dust generated by the process play a critical role in defining the system design. Additionally, the characteristics of the installation area and the defined ATEX ZONE classification are key factors in selecting the appropriate equipment for the dust collection unit.
III What is ATEX Directives?
Safety in Explosive Atmospheres
In industrial environments where combustible gases, vapors, and combustible dust are present, ensuring workplace safety is essential. To address these risks, the European Union has adopted two directives known as the ATEX Directives, which regulate explosive atmospheres and combustible dust hazards:
These directives aim to guarantee the safety of equipment and protective systems used in explosive atmospheres. ATEX-compliant products help protect both personnel and facility infrastructure.
Standards for Equipment and System Selection
The ATEX Directive classifies equipment into categories based on their suitability for use in explosive zones and defines specific technical requirements for each. From electric motors to Ex-Proof Dust Collectors, all equipment operating in combustible dust environments must comply with these standards. Improper equipment selection may lead to severe safety risks and legal liabilities.
Legal Compliance and Responsibility
For industrial facilities handling combustible dust, ATEX compliance is not optional—it is mandatory. Meeting these regulations is critical not only for passing inspections, but also for protecting employee safety and ensuring uninterrupted operations. Choosing certified Combustible Dust Collection systems is a vital step toward maintaining a compliant and secure working environment.

III Advantages of Bomaksan Systems
Investing in Bomaksan not only helps you control combustible dust in high-risk processes such as conveying, screening, packaging, cutting, polishing, and grinding, but also ensures a safer production environment, longer equipment lifespan, and uninterrupted operations. Here are some key advantages that make Bomaksan stand out in combustible dust collection applications:
Better Indoor Air Quality
Reduced Maintenance Requirement and Less Downtime
In production environments, combustible dust generated during crushing, grinding, screening, mixing, cutting, polishing, and sanding can quickly accumulate. This buildup increases the risk of equipment failures, unplanned downtimes, and potentially explosive atmospheres. Over time, fine, abrasive, and conductive dust can penetrate sensitive components, causing corrosion, short circuits, and permanent damage—especially in automation systems and electrical control panels.
Bomaksan’s Ex-Proof Dust Collector systems are specifically designed for combustible dust hazards. By safely capturing dangerous particles at the source, they minimize contamination and dust accumulation. As a result, equipment stays cleaner and lasts longer, while production lines run more safely and without interruption.
