Hi all,
We have a grain silo outside our building, in what is fast becoming a high-rise residential area (it was pretty industrial when we bought the building). During the filling of our silo, the dust from the pneumatic blower on the truck billows out of the vent on the silo. We usually hose-clamp a burlap grain bag over the vent, to catch the dust, which works ~ok. But if it gets clogged with dust, the back-pressure in the silo will lift the top pressure-relief vent, blowing dust out and covering the top of the silo with dust.
What I want to ask, is: if you have a similar setup, what are you doing for dust control?
