Textile Dust Ducting
Textile fibers and fabric dust generated from manufacturing, processing, and production operations present fire and explosion hazards in industrial environments. The textile industry is listed by OSHA as susceptible to explosive dust, requiring specialized deflagration protection to mitigate combustible dust risks and ensure worker safety.
Textile fibers from cotton and wool processing, fabric dust from weaving and finishing operations, material particles from nonwovens production and sporting goods manufacturing all produce combustible dust that can quickly accumulate in workspaces. Raw cotton and wool are particularly known to produce explosive dust that creates injury and equipment damage risks.
When textile dust is disturbed, it becomes airborne and settles on surfaces and fixtures throughout facilities, making it difficult to control without proper collection systems. The flammable nature of textile materials combined with fine dust particles creates environments where deflagrations can occur, resulting in property damage, injuries, and fatalities.
Textile Ducting Solutions
Effective dust collection systems capture these contaminants at the source using ductwork mounted on carding equipment, looms, cutting machinery, and processing equipment. The captured airstream moves contaminated air into dust collectors designed for combustible materials, with clean air returned to the facility or exhausted outside.
Nordfab® Quick-Fit® ducting provides specialized solutions for textile and fiber dust collection across textile manufacturers, nonwovens facilities, and sporting goods producers. The system includes dampers and deflagration protection equipment required for combustible dust applications, ensuring compliance with OSHA standards.
