Flour dust is explosive

Flour dust is a leading cause of food factory fires.

HSE can fine large amounts for poor dust management and non-compliance

Invisible dust can trigger asthma, skin and eye irritation.

Why Top Bakeries Trust Dust Arrest

When HSE raised concerns about the dust extraction system at B Thorntons Bakery, the team needed a fast, reliable solution. After months of searching with no success, they reached out to Dust Arrest - and everything began to turn around.

We assessed the site and recommended a tailored, compliant system that fit both their needs and budget. With a tight HSE deadline in place, our team delivered hands-on support from start to finish, making the entire process smooth, clear, and stress-free.

“The whole process has just been flawless - so easy, so reassuring. I didn’t feel as though I was being sold something I didn’t need... it was about what was suitable for us.”
— Carrie Platts, Director

Practical Support That Delivers Real Results

When il Fornaio switched insurers, they needed a reliable partner to help continue to meet strict compliance and safety standards - including sourcing ATEX rated vacuums for flour dust control. That’s when they found Dust Arrest.

“With all the health and safety requirements and a new insurer last year, we've had to have a lot of statutory compliant risk assessments. The support that Dust Arrest has given demonstrates that the flour dust can be retained, and the financial savings are far greater than what we used to spend. The big thing is support, we're happy to recommend Dust Arrest to anybody.”
— Michael Williams, il Fornaio

Atex Is Made Simple
With Dust Arrest

Just like the fire triangle, that represents the flammability conditions (and of consequent explosion), for liquid and gaseous combustibles, it is common to refer to “the explosion pentagon” when it comes to dusts.

It only takes 20g/m³ of flour dust to trigger an explosion. That’s less than a handful.
