Typical processes
- Milling & blending
- Conveying & elevators
- Silos & filters
Protection priorities
Address dust hazards and potential ignition sources while considering cleanability, product sensitivity and the consequences of a process interruption.
Protection review
What we assess.
Milling & blending
Review the actual ingredients and the dust generated during size reduction and mixing.
Conveyors & elevators
Follow the transfer routes and connections between processing and storage equipment.
Silos & storage
Consider the stored material, connected vessels and the hygiene requirements of the installation.
