What is the NFPA 8 Cu Ft Rule?
9.8.2.1 * Where an explosion hazard exists within any operating greater than 8 ft3 (0.2 m 3 ) of containing volume, the equipment shall be protected from the effects of an explosion.
NFPA 660 Compliant Dust Collector | Explosion-Proof Motor
The most powerful XP portable dust collection on the market with the most filter surface area. Made in USA from 14 gauge steel and conductive powder-coat.
XP Portable Dust Collectors - ST1 Dust in ORDLOC
Up to 2500 CFM and Dual Arms for XP Dust
The "dirty air volume" is less than 8 cu ft

These units can be set up as a Downdraft or a Backdraft Collector
NFPA Capture and Convey Velocity Requirements
Built to surpass NFPA capture and convey velocity requirements. An awful lot of people who sell HAZLOC equipment will talk all day about NEC 70, which is very important. But it is only half of the picture. Our units at 2500 CFM and 300 sq ft of primary filter are built to be twice as powerful as anything comparable.
Optional NEMA 7/9 or NEMA 4X Thermal Motor Starter
TEFC Motor with IP66/NEMA 4X Starter or optional Explosion-Proof motor and starter or optional Class 1 Group D, Class II F and G, Division 1 Baldor Explosion-Proof Motor and Sprecher+Schuh NEMA 7/9 starter. We also have XP VFD drives.
Suitable for areas that are:
Division 1, Class I, Group D and Class II, Groups F, and G, T3C.
Division 1, Class II Group E (metal dust) motor and switch available.
Division 2, Class I Group D and Class II, Groups F and G, T3C.
Use in HAZLOC is subject to approval by your AHJ and/or EHS.

What is the NFPA 8 cu ft rule?
“If the system’s air-material separator, such as a filter receiver, dust collector, or cyclone, has an enclosure (dirty-side) volume greater than 8 cu. ft., then the enclosure must be protected against an explosion’s effect by a valid protection method, such as explosion venting, suppression, or containment.”
How is the PDC-XP Portable Dust Collection compliant with NFPA 8 cu ft rule?
The PDC-XP 1000 and 2000 are both compliant with the 8 cu. ft. rule, as the “dirty air” portions of each collector are less than 8 cubic ft.
What are some of the industries and applications that this unit is used for?
By also adding a non-sparking fan wheel and an aluminum spark deflector (and several other key upgrades), the PDC-XP units can be customized to be compliant with NFPA 652 Standard for capture of ST1 explosive dusts. These units are useful in specific applications such as batching or pouring of powders in a lab or factory, as well as industries such as cosmetics, pharmaceutical, aerospace, and defense. Having a detailed conversation ahead of purchase is crucial as every application is unique. Allow Controlled Air Design to customize a unit for your needs!

Grounding Reel and Other Safety Options for HAZLOC Dust Collection
Retractable Grounding Reel. Mounts to SPC unit.
We offer a variety of motor choices with the PDC-XP units. The TEFC Motor that comes standard with the PDC-XP units is acceptable in most ST1 dust collection applications. For severe-duty applications we can offer Explosion-Proof Motors that are UL listed and rated for groups F&G. We also have a Group E Motor available. NEMA 7/9 Starters and VFDs are also available. For use in Class 1 areas where airborne flammable gases and vapors are present, these motors are designed to protect against hazardous gases, vapors and dusts that have explosive properties. Our highly engineered shaft sealing system protects against all three hazardous dust groups.
