Meet at GEAPS for a free guide to dust explosion reduction in grain handling and processing facilities

GEAPS Exchange takes place in Denver, Colorado and promises the best education, networking and expo in the grain industry. Education includes helping the industry to adopt best practices, not only to improve productivity and yield, but also to ensure the protection and safety of those working in grain handling and processing facilities.

Since 1980, more than 500 dust explosions have occurred in industrial facilities throughout the U.S., causing over 180 fatalities, nearly 700 injuries, and hundreds of millions of dollars in damages. Fifty-eight of these accidents were caused by corn dust explosions in granaries or refineries and 8 in flour processing or storage plants.

At Siemens we work in practically every type of processing and manufacturing plant, and the safety of personnel is always a major concern. The simple aim is to substantially lower the risk of dust explosions in facilities, and to offer a potential solution to simplify this task, providing facility managers with assurance that their operations are safely compliant with applicable regulations.

Our Guide to Hazardous Duty Motor Selection in Grain Handling and Processing Facilities, not only provides useful information about the nature of dust explosions, it also offers insight and guidance for operations personnel and engineers to better understand the many factors that go into hazardous duty motor selection.

To obtain a free copy of Guide to Hazardous Duty Motor Selection in Grain Handling and Processing Facilities, come meet me personally on the Siemens Industry booth #319, March 24th – 27th. Hope to see you there!
