    125,000# silo. Closed loop system with huge blower motor and in line sifters. Sifters enclosed in their own room for “ease of clean”. Blower overloads and plugs the system. (Flour can’t sit in the line, must return to silo) 450’ of 4” aluminum line. Disconnect at the coupling, reset the blower and let it blow. We’ve put a fine layer on the entirety of our 40,000sq foot facility. It’s simply the quickest way to get back running. 
    I can’t be the only one that wants pics - if not the flour storm, then at least some of the operation.  Sounds cool.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

    There are solutions for that. Just depends what you want to spend to quickly get back running and what your lose is when you dust the facility. Redundancy is also your friend in that situation. Imagine if it doesn't reset.

    I’ve got 3 backups sitting on the shelf for redundancy. I probably have over a half a million bucks in spare parts. One production line from Japan. Another from Germany. Parts ain’t just down the street.

    Plumbed in and sharing the load. Either on a duty cycle or both running. I don't know your situation. Spare parts on the shelf doesn't help when you're talking minutes. Again, I don't know your situation.

    And then the local AQ inspector knocks on your door, because of the complaints from everyone downwind whose cars are now covered with a fine white powder. "It must be toxic!"

    Can’t share the load without a serious change in the setup. Smaller blower pushes from silo to sifters. Sifters are 7 screen blow thru. Larger blower from sifters, to mixers and back to silo. Sifters only 15’ from silo for initial push.

    We used to throw powdered sugar and flour on fires as kids.  Made a really cool ball of flame.  Clumps didn't work, but slinging a misty layer over the flames did.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

    PSA: please make every effort to be home when you have packages delivered. 

    Story time: we uncovered a pretty sophisticated porch pirating ring. A delivery driver gives his route address to a Fence, who in turn gives the information to a couple of narcotically challenged individuals to go steal. They steal the packages and bring them back to the fence who pays them a few bucks. Fence then resales the stolen products.
