Hazardous area flamproof lights in the flour mill lighting in the core value and efficient application strategy

First. Why do flour mills have to choose Hazardous area flamproof lights? Flame retardant and safe production double barrier

Flour mill due to the production process produces suspended dust [such as flour particles] has a high degree of flammability, in the event of an open flame or high temperature will probably cause an explosion or fire.

Ordinary lamps are prone to accumulate heat or generate sparks during long-term operation, while fire-resistant lamps are approved with flame-retardant materials [such as high-temperature resistant alloy, fire-resistant coatings] and sealed structural design, which can effectively isolate the heat source and combustible materials to ensure the safety of the production environment.

Such lamps comply with NFPA 70 [National Fire Protection Association] and GB 50058 [China Design Code for Electrical Installations in Explosive Hazardous Environments] and other guidelines, is a necessary choice for lighting safety in flour mills.

Second, Amasly Hazardous area flamproof lights three core advantages: customized solutions for flour mills

1. Excellent fire performance: the use of flame retardant shell and fireproof glass to prevent the spread of fire. For example, high borosilicate toughened glass can withstand high temperatures of more than 500 ℃, to avoid overheating of the lamps and lanterns to ignite the dust.

2. Energy efficient and long life: LED light source luminous efficiency of 120LM/W or more, life expectancy of more than 50,000 hours, compared with traditional lamps and lanterns energy saving 60% -70%, reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs.

3. Environmental adaptability: IP65/66 protection level to ensure that the lamps and lanterns in the humid, dusty environment and stable operation, 316 stainless steel material can resist the corrosion of chemical detergents.

Third, the flour mill Hazardous area flamproof lights selection guide: four fundamental parameters analysis

1. Flame retardant grade certification: Select approved UL 94 [plastic flame retardant guidelines] or IEC 60598 [lamp safety guidelines] certified products to ensure that the material flame retardant standards.

2. Dust protection design: Give preference to the fully sealed structure to avoid dust from entering the luminaire and causing short circuit or heat accumulation.

3. Heat dissipation performance: Separate heat dissipation chamber design (e.g. light source and driver cooling in separate compartments) is adopted to reduce the overall temperature rise and the risk of fire.

4. Installation flexibility: according to the height of the workshop to choose ceiling-mounted, wall-mounted or boom installation, to ensure that the lighting covers the production line, warehousing areas and other high-risk areas.

Fourth, the case of evidence: how to improve the safety and energy efficiency of flour mill Hazardous area flamproof lights

A large-scale flour mill has been due to poor heat dissipation of traditional lamps and lanterns leading to high local temperatures, after the replacement of AMASLY Hazardous area flamproof lights:

Fire hazards reduced by 80%: flame retardant materials and improved heat dissipation design to eliminate the accumulation of heat sources;

Annual energy consumption reduced by 45%: LED light source combined with intelligent dimming system, adjust the brightness on demand;

Maintenance cost savings of 50%: modular design to help high-speed replacement of components, reducing downtime.

Fifth, the installation and maintenance of Hazardous area flamproof lights: to extend the use of life fundamental measures

Installation specification: lamps and lanterns should be adjusted according to the concentration of dust to avoid local overheating; the angle of the light source should be avoided in the raw material stacking area to reduce dust adhesion.

Regular maintenance: clean the surface dust of the lamps and lanterns every quarter, check the seals and heat sinks to prevent performance degradation.

Emergency program: Configure fire prevention lamps with emergency power supply to ensure that at least 90 minutes of lighting is maintained in case of sudden power failure.

FAQ: Common Problems of Fireproof Luminaires in Flour Mills

Q1：What is the difference between fireproof lamps and explosion-proof lamps?

A: Fireproof lamps and lanterns focus on flame retardant and fire isolation, and are suitable for fire prevention; explosion-proof lamps and lanterns are designed for explosive gas or dust environments, and are approved for explosion-proof structure to inhibit explosions. Flour mills need a combination of both, giving priority to products with both explosion-proof and fire-proof certifications.

Q2：How to verify the flame retardant performance of Hazardous area flamproof lights?

A: Check to see if the product is approved for UL 94 V-0 [Vertical Flame Test] or GB 20286 [China Flame Retardant Products Guidelines], and ask for a third-party test report.

Q3: Are LED fire-resistant luminaires suitable for low-temperature environments?

A: Yes, some models are suitable for wide temperature operation from -30℃ to 50℃, but they need to choose anti-condensation design to avoid frost in the cold storage environment to affect the heat dissipation.

Q4: How long is the replacement cycle of Hazardous area flamproof lights?

A: It is advocated that comprehensive performance testing should be carried out every 5 years, and the service life can be up to 10 years under the condition of good daily maintenance.

Q5：How to balance the fire performance and lighting brightness?

A：Choose high transmittance fireproof glass [e.g. more than 92%] with multiple light source layout to ensure uniform illumination and comply with the industry standard of 200-500 Lux for flour mills.
