Powder Show Booth 1420 – The Interceptor-BD blast deflector is an economical explosion vent accessory designed to deflect the flame ball exhaust during an explosion to protect occupied plant areas.


The deflector reduces the safety area near the vented dust collector or vessel. When installed with an explosion vent, the deflector effectively directs flame from an explosion or deflagration to a designated safe area, for greater installation flexibility for the protected equipment.

The deflector’s ability to direct dangerous fire or explosion by-products in an up and outward direction means that workers or other sensitive plant areas are continuously protected even for processes handling high-KSt dusts. The deflector restricts the explosion vent’s opening angle while still providing high-efficiency venting.

Benefits include a low-maintenance design, all stainless steel construction, retrofit capabilities to any of CV Technology’s explosion vents, full NFPA compliance, and modular, lightweight construction for fast, easy field installation.
