Targo-Vent Opening Angle Limiter

In the case of an explosion outside a building, explosion vents open and release the explosion flame and pressure wave into the environment. Adequate safety areas are crucial. They must be kept free of buildings and be out of bounds to both vehicles and pedestrians. These empty areas cannot be used commercially but still incur operating costs.

TARGO-VENT limits the opening angle of an explosion vent in order to protect people, vehicles or subsequently erected buildings. By decreasing the size of dangerous areas, TARGO-VENT helps you to reduce your safety areas to a minimum and increase usable operating space while providing optimum protection against explosions.

Description

Application

Ideal for rectangular explosion vents
Venting into areas used by vehicles or pedestrians
Used in outdoor applications
Venting into previously clear areas which have subsequently been built upon.

Mechanism

TARGO-VENT limits the opening angle of the explosion vent and guides the explosion pressure wave, flames, and heat into defined areas. This minimizes the size of the safety areas required.

Applications + Industries

Aspiration plants
Breweries
Elevators
Filters
Conveyors
Wood processing
Food production
Mixers
Mills and grinding plants
Recycling
Screens
Silos
Destoners
Spray dryers
Animal feed production

Advantages

Smaller safety areas required in front of vent openings – more productive use of valuable operating areas
Smaller area required for explosion venting than with alternative deflectors
Low cost protection of infrastructure
Safe traffic routes for people and vehicles while simultaneously reducing the safety area required
Retrofitting with TARGO-VENT provides greater safety for existing installations
Maintenance-free and long service life using stainless steel.
