CurTec Open-Head Containers
Conductive Plastic Drums
Additive manufacturers are turning to CurTec plastic conductive drums to make sure dust-related fires and explosions never occur in their facilities.
Dust explosions occur when an ignition source ignites combustible organic material that is fueled with oxygen in a closed atmosphere. This can happen inside a silo, process or storage container, or even in pulverizing or grinding process equipment. It takes only milliseconds for a violent explosion to occur and destroy an entire operation.
Excellent Alternative to Expensive Stainless Steel Drums
Many additive manufacturers are relying on portable bulk containers for the storage and transporting of combustible materials. Using grounded, conductive containers, processors avoid ignition during powder handling caused by electrical discharge. Stainless steel or metal is one solution but these drums are heavy and expensive. CurTec has developed a safe, secure and cost-effective alternative: plastic conductive drums.
CurTec conductive drums eliminate the risk of ignition through electrical discharge and can prevent dust explosions to people, property and the environment. Keep your entire production facility safe and raise your customer’s sense of security with CurTec conductive drums.
