Continental Disc Corporation’s explosion vent panels are designed to provide instantaneous overpressure protection for pressurised equipment like dust collectors, driers, silos, spreaders, elevators, air scrubbers, sieves, screens and various other types of dry, bulk handling and storage equipment. Continental’s explosion vent panels are designed to allow a full and immediate opening to minimise the structural or mechanical damage that may be caused by expanding gases. These gas expansions can result from the deflagration of dust, gases, or mists in equipment, rooms, buildings or other enclosures.
Continental’s vent panels are offered in rectangular, square, or circular configurations and in several types of construction to meet the operating parameters of various applications.
The VP series explosion vent panels is a flat, scored, and epoxy coated aluminium panel. This panel is best suited for operating conditions of positive pressure or vacuum pulsations. It is recommended for a maximum 50% operating to burst pressure ratio, positive or negative.
The SFC solid metal and CFC composite (metal/fluoropolymer) explosion vent panels are pre bulged, circular designs. These panels are suitable for higher operating conditions of up to 70% of the burst rating positive pressure and negative pressure of up to 14.7 psig (1.02 barg) full vacuum.
