Metallic airborne dusts present a risk of fire or explosion in most metalworking and metal fabrication facilities. To be considered a “combustible dust”, airborne particulate must have a KST value higher than zero. The KST value is the deflagration of the dust, or the severity of a dust explosion and how quickly the explosion will propagate.
If you are unsure if the dust you are producing is hazardous, contact us right away for an evaluation.
Combustible dust that is not properly contained and safely removed presents significant risk to workers and organizations. Consider what a fire or explosion in your facility would mean. General risk include:
Processing or handling the materials below introduce an explicit risk of fire or explosion into the workplace:
| METAL DUST: | including – aluminum, magnesium, and titanium | ||
| PLASTIC DUST: | including – polyethylene, acrylamide, and phenolic resin | ||
| CHEMICAL DUST: | including – dextrose, lead stearate, and sulfur | ||
| CARBONACEOUS DUST: | including – activated charcoal, lignite and cellulose | ||
| AGRICULTURAL DUST: | including – coffee dust, sugar dust, cornstarch, flour | ||
| AGRO PRODUCTS: | including – powdered milk, starch or wood flour |
Combustible dust can accumulate anywhere in your facility without notice. These industries are considered “high-risk” for fire and explosion hazards due to combustible dust.

“Diversitech was very helpful in providing useful information to solve our particular Dust Collection problem.
Our users have all had good things to say about the product and working with Ron Morris was a pleasure.
He provided all the support we needed in getting our system up and running.
I would recommend Diversitech to anyone that needed a similar product.
It is very well made and easy to use and maintain.”
« As a repeat customer, and owner of both wet and dry downdraft tables, we cannot say enough about the products, and the people at Diversitech…….both are a pleasure to work with! »
« The tables are now fully functioning! The students were on them yesterday, and the instructors were so impressed. One instructor even said that he’s “old school” and wasn’t sure about the downdrafts, but he was very impressed. »
« We love the downdraft table and are using it full time. We will probably be looking for another one in 6 months to a year as well. Thanks for a nice product. »
