DUST HAZARDS – SINTROL

Do you know how dust can harm factories, equipment, and machinery? Vina Datapak will address concerns about dust hazards and provide solutions to mitigate the damages caused by dust.

What Is Dust? The Risks Of Dust For Industry And People

Dust consists of tiny particulate matter that can appear anywhere. It is classified into three main types: environmental dust, household dust, and industrial dust.

Dust can cause allergies and health issues, as well as lead to costly problems in production processes and equipment.

In households, regular cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended to remove the most visible dust. To handle invisible particles, using an air purifier can help address these issues.

Industrial dust, also known as process dust, is generated during production and manufacturing activities. Examples include cutting, drilling, grinding, or sawing, which produce dust. It can also originate from materials, chemicals, or components used in production processes, such as flour, sugar, and pharmaceutical products.

Processes like welding and cutting produce very fine particles. Dust, including combustible dust, must be properly filtered and contained to ensure the safety and health of workers. Industrial dust can contain metals and chemicals that are harmful if inhaled or in contact with the skin. Additionally, some types of dust can be combustible, posing explosion and fire risks if not managed properly. Dust can also reduce the lifespan of machinery and industrial equipment. 

Solutions For Mitigating Dust Damage

Sintrol is a leading brand in the production of equipment specialized in monitoring and measuring particulate matter, such as dust.

Before the advent of Sintrol’s solution, dust monitoring was the responsibility of operators who observed dust levels and reported any anomalies to address or prevent dust explosions. However, if there were no operators present or if the operators failed to detect abnormalities in time, it could result in severe consequences, including harm to individuals and structural damage.

To address these issues, Sintrol has developed several dust monitoring and measuring devices, including the S100, S200, and S300 series, DumoPro, Ambient XO, and EXO.

Features Of Sintrol Devices

Sintrol products utilize ionization-sensing technology. This technology generates an electrical charge on the sensor when solid particles come into contact with or approach the insulated probe. This phenomenon is then amplified and converted into a signal proportional to the dust concentration.

The amplifier includes two types of signals:

• DC Component: Occurs when particles physically contact the sensor (traditional frictional electrical signal).
• AC Signal: Created by particles both contacting and passing near the probe.

Thanks to Sintrol’s “Ionization Sensing” technology and advanced algorithms, dust measurement results are highly accurate.

Sintrol devices are used in various industries, including food processing (flour, sugar, grains, etc.), mining (coal, minerals, etc.), and power plants.
