Dust Explosion Risk Reduction
Bucket elevators routinely operate in conditions where Nos. 1 and 2 are constantly present. Only the condition of the bearings, buckets, belts or chains determine if and when No. 3 will be introduced.OLDS ELEVATORS™ operate in a "flooded" mode where the rotating casing and screw are filled with the material being conveyed. There is insufficient oxygen in the system to support combustion in the unlikely event that a spark should occur. Refer to technical publication "Developments in Bulk Material Elevation Technology" by Wypych, Olds and McIntosh, September 2007. |
