Craft Malt House<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ART MALT BIO is an artisanal, organic, and local malting plant, located in Vernoux en Vivarais (Ard\u00e8che). It embodies a brand new ‘from field to glass’ supply chain project. Its management team called upon OBERA to implement dust reduction measures during barley handling<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, the finished product packaging workshop, particularly with a degerminator and a bagging machine, generates a significant amount of barley dust<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These installations operate intermittently (10-ton batches every 2\/3 days), with the degerminator processing 2 to 4 t\/h and sending the finished product into storage bins before bagging by the bagging machine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

What are effective solutions for barley dust treatment?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

We have installed an OBNEX 160 HM dust collector<\/strong> that meets these requirements and more, as we have 5 capture points: 2 on the degerminator and 3 on the packaging section.<\/p>\n\n

The manager’s words, once the solution was implemented<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n
\n

“Regarding dust collection, we noticed a clear improvement in the packaged product and especially in the dust emission in the room’s atmosphere.” <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

The dust collection unit, installed in one day, with 5 capture points between the bagging machine and the degerminator, drastically reduces the respiratory risks<\/strong> posed by fine barley dust, thereby limiting its concentration in the ambient air<\/strong>, and thus the health risks for all ART MALT BIO employees.<\/p>\n\n

Is there an explosion risk?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Cereal dust, due to its fineness, is combustible and explosive, so there is a real risk of explosion. The ATEX OBNex dust collector from OBERA<\/strong> <\/a>that we chose perfectly meets <\/strong>ATEX requirements<\/a>.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n
