Protecting Milling & Grain Facilities from Fire & Explosion Hazards

From explosion venting and isolation to advanced suppression systems, we help grain & milling facilities safeguard their operations, protect workers, and stay compliant with NFPA and ATEX standards — without slowing down production.

Risks in Milling & Grain Operations

Grain dust is highly combustible — and the equipment that keeps your facility moving can also create the perfect conditions for an explosion.

According to NFPA and OSHA, equipment like hammer mills, bucket elevators, and dust collectors are among the most common sources of combustible dust explosions. Milling and grain handling facilities face vulnerable points where ignition can easily occur. With confined spaces and continuous dust generation, even a small spark can lead to a catastrophic event.

Together, these hazards put workers, equipment, and entire facilities at risk. That’s why compliance with the new NFPA 660 standard Chapter 21 is more critical than ever.
