EPT076596 Issue 1 – March 2022 If the extraction equipment is incorrectly setup and not maintained frequently particle collections can build up, forming lumps of debris. In high production rate applications and/or with some materials these lumps may be hot. If the debris lumps get large enough, they may break free and enter the extraction unit, and if they are hot enough there is a chance for it to ignite the dust within the pre filter.
