LAS 260.1 – Date 07/2023
hazards
The Extraction Unit LAS 260.1 is designed solely for the
extraction of airborne dusts and gases produced during laser
machining in non-flammable concentrations. The filtration
system is designed for the separation of dusts and gases that
are not potentially explosive. It is prohibited to use the
equipment for the extraction of potentially explosive mixtures.
Before using the unit you must inform yourself about the
flammability and/or explosiveness of the vapors, gases, and
dusts that arise during processing. It is prohibited to use the
equipment for the extraction of potentially explosive and
flammable mixtures.
So that you can properly assess the explosion and fire hazard
and define appropriate safety measures, please inform yourself
about the key parameters of your dust that are relevant in terms
of technical safety.
To avoid the risk of fire and explosion, the system must never
be used to extract e.g. hot, glowing, smoldering parts, glowing
ashes/shavings/filings, or smoldering cigarettes.
If the Extraction and Filtration System is used improperly, the
risk of a fire hazard cannot be ruled out, so it is recommended
that a fire extinguisher is provided in the immediate vicinity or
that an extinguishing system is installed.
Fire extinguishers with suitable extinguishing agents should be
chosen based on the reactive properties of the substances
sucked into the overall system.
In the event of fire:
1.
Immediately switch off the unit.
2.
If possible, close the inlet opening to prevent the supply of
oxygen.
3.
If possible, close the outlet openings.
4.
Bring the fire extinguisher into position and spray
extinguishing agent through the intake opening.
5.
Do not open any other parts of the enclosure.
Please note that the filter materials themselves are also
flammable, and that toxic gases and vapors can be released
when they burn.
