Stop Flour, Sugar & Ingredient Dust Becoming a Contamination or Combustion Risk
Fine ingredient dust from mixing, milling and packing lines is a hygiene risk, an allergen cross-contamination risk, and — above certain concentrations — an explosion risk. We survey your production line, design the control measures and supply the equipment that keeps dust off the product and off the HSE's radar.
- Free on-site dust survey, with a written control plan you can attach to your HACCP and COSHH records
- Control at source, in the air and at the product zone boundary — on one supply agreement
- Exposure monitoring and records that stand up to an audit or HSE inspection
Ingredient Dust Is a Hygiene, Allergen and Explosion Risk in One
Flour, sugar, starch and milk powders release fine dust at mixing, sieving and packing stages. That dust settles on product, machinery and floors — and above certain concentrations, a stray spark is all it takes to turn it into a flash fire or explosion.
On a live production line it rarely stays a housekeeping issue. It becomes a failed hygiene audit, an allergen cross-contamination incident, a stop-work notice, or an inspection that arrives with an hourly charge attached.
Three Points of Control on Every Line
One supplier, one specification, applied consistently from goods-in through mixing, packing and dispatch — so dust control isn't left to individual shifts.
Process & Point Extraction
Industrial vacuums and extraction hoods matched to your mixers, sieves and packing lines, so ingredient dust is captured before it settles.
Air Filtration & Scrubbing
HEPA H14 filtration for allergen changeovers and general production areas — clearing airborne dust rather than letting it cross-contaminate the next batch.
Containment & Monitoring
Zoning between allergen and non-allergen areas plus continuous dust monitoring that gives you dated evidence for auditors before the complaint arrives.
Clear. Open. Honest.
From the first call to ongoing monitoring, you know exactly what happens at each stage — starting with a free site dust survey.
