Problem:
Our client Hovis needed to improve the extraction of dust generated through the tipping process of wheat into the site hopper.
Approach:
Key to this project was managing the risk of explosion typically found in dust-heavy environments. We therefore designed the system to reduce this risk as well as improving overall conditions.
We designed and fabricated a hood to capture the dust, alongside a duct system with accompanying filter unit that incorporated a self-cleaning system. The full system was then installed on site.
Outcome:
The system is now fully operational on site and the client is satisfied with its performance.
