Safe Silo Storage Solutions from MAFA
MAFA’s silo safety systems combine multiple protective components to minimize risks when handling powders and bulk materials. These solutions ensure compliance with ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU and provide a safer working environment.
Explosion Vent Panels
A passive, pressure-relief safety system mounted on the silo roof.
- Opens instantly during sudden pressure increases (e.g., dust explosions)
- Releases overpressure before the silo is damaged
- Can be equipped with monitoring to trigger alarms and stop operations when activated
Safety Valve
Protects the silo against both overpressure and vacuum.
- Quickly vents air to prevent explosion or implosion
- ATEX-approved for use in explosive environments
- Installed on the silo roof alongside explosion panels or top filters
Self-Cleaning Filter
