At dusk in the midsummer of 2024, the Gaozhuang Industrial Park in Yongcheng City, Henan Province was shrouded in a sudden catastrophe. The scene was shocking.In this vibrant industrial heartland, the plant of Henan Zhongrui Aluminum Technology Co,an unexpected explosion during the processing of aluminum products suddenly broke the tranquility of the surrounding area,its aluminum crystal rod equipment exploded with a roaring force that destroyed the world.
This catastrophic incident not only caused complete damage to the production line, but also caused irreparable loss of life - five innocent employees were unfortunately killed. Fourteen others were injured, leaving their families in deep grief. (An explosion occurred in an industrial park in Yongcheng, Henan, killing 5 and injuring 14)
Aluminum reacts with water vapor to produce alumina, a process that releases a lot of heat. Whether it is aluminum leakage or metal dust generated when processing aluminum, there is a possibility of explosion. Dust explosion is like a hidden tiger. Once it shows its power, it will cause serious damage, and the casualties and property losses are incalculable. In order to prevent disasters before they occur, enterprises need to regard production safety as a top priority and take a series of practical and effective measures.
The first priority for enterprises is to be familiar with and abide by laws and regulations such as the "Safety Production Law" and "Dust Explosion Prevention Safety Regulations", clarify their responsibilities, and build a safety responsibility network for all employees, supplemented by strict rules and regulations. The most critical thing is to establish and improve a dust cleaning mechanism to ensure that the dust concentration in the working environment is well below the safety threshold.

Secondly, enterprises should be keenly aware of risks, strengthen the identification and assessment of dust explosion risk factors, and formulate corresponding control measures. Key facilities such as dust removal systems and ventilation equipment need to be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure that they comply with national or industry standards. The main substances that may cause dust explosions can be divided into natural organic materials (such as grains, wood, sugar, etc.), synthetic organic materials (such as plastics, organic pigments, drugs, etc.), coal and peat, and metal dust (such as aluminum, titanium, Magnesium, etc.) 4 categories. When choosing a dust collector, safety must be your top priority.
This accident once again sounded the alarm on production safety, reminding us that no matter what the circumstances, we must put safety first and ensure the personal safety of every employee. At the same time, we also call on all enterprises to strengthen safety management and supervision, take precautions against the slightest, and avoid similar tragedies from happening again.
