Food, Drink & Distilleries Explosion Protection

As part of the process (or by accident), flammable gases or liquids (vapours), or combustible powders, could become present in the atmosphere creating a potential explosion risk in the manufacture of food and drink. Distilleries are also at risk from flammable vapour known as the “angel’s share”.
