Dust Extraction system for weighing area
Issue
Exeon were asked to provide a Local Exhaust Ventilation solution for an existing factory which had dust control problems in the weighing area. Exeon was required to achieve control of dust for the system to pass a ‘thorough examination and test’ according to the Health & Safety Executive’s guidance HSG258 . The area was an ATEX zone, due to explosivity of the food dust, therefore careful consideration for treatment of the dust was required.
Solution
The recommended proposal included the following.
- An Auto-shake type filter (Rhino TM)
- Flameless venting system
- An anti-blowback valve
- Stainless steel (Nellie TM) extraction arms
- Stainless steel ducting installed in the production area.
Exeon designed, supplied, installed and commissioned the dust control system, and final balancing achieved 15-20m/s in all ducts.
The system was installed within budget over a 1-2 week window.
