Grain dust is easy to overlook as a hazard, but inside a silo, an elevator or an intake pit it can form an explosive atmosphere. That makes much of a grain store a hazardous area in its own right, with the same rules for equipment and inspection as an oil and gas site.
What we do for farms, grain stores and maltings
- Power and lighting for grain stores, sheds, dryers and workshops
- Dust-zone (Zone 20, 21 and 22) installations with Ex t rated motors, isolators, lighting and junction boxes
- Motor control centres and control panels for dryers, fans, elevators and conveyors, built in our own panel shop
- Level, temperature and interlock controls
- Inspection and testing, including Ex inspection of dust-zone equipment
- Maintenance and breakdown callout through the busy season
