Hi Yung -
Check out this web site:
http://www.gardco.com/pages/dispersion/mx/waring_blenders.cfm
Note "Explosion Proof" normally refers to equipment that can be
operated in areas where flammable vapors (from liquids) or
gases/vapors are at or above their Lower Flammability Limit"
Other equipment that is designed to safely contain, handle, or
process materials that can produce flammable vapors may or may not
be "explosion proof".
Hope this helps
Larry

Dear safety
colleagues,
Hope the
summer is finding you well. A professor at my school is
looking for an intrinsically safe(or explosion proof)
grinder /blender that he could use to blend small pieces of
plastic in solvent( MEK, chloroform etc.), small enough to
be left inside the fume hood. I was wondering if any of you
have come across such equipment and/or manufacturer you
would recommend.
Thank you
very much for any thoughts you may have. Enjoy your Summer.
