These dusts create a number of significant challenges to food and beverage manufacturers who are legally bound to protect their employees by providing...
For decades, solid product manufacturing in industries including pharmaceutical and chemical has been based on batch production, whereby a pre-determined weight of ingredients is processed before being discharged as finished product. Continuous manufacturing processes however run on the basis that there is a simultaneous charging and discharging of ingredients and finished product. This change in manufacturing process has been embraced...

Wet scrubbers and dry media dust collectors are two very different technologies used to capture dusts generated during production processes. Both types have inherent advantages and disadvantages. Which is best for your application? The choice is not always clear-cut, but this white paper will help with the decision process by providing a comparison between wet and dry dust collectors. It...
Combustible dust explosions are a risk in many areas of a food processing plant, but one of the most common locations is the dust collection system. How do you know if your dust collection system complies? What do you do if it doesn’t? Are your employees at risk? This white paper reviews the OSHA National Emphasis Program for combustible dust,...
Choosing the best cartridge collection system for a given application involves research and attention to detail.
