I have heard of squirrel cage motors that move about 100 cfm through a plenum. Right now I am noticing dust seepage at various points, mainly the 1) auger downshute into the mill 2) the mill (roskamp 2 row) 3) grist bin after 1600# 4) grist auger.
Solutions I have come up with so far
1) for the grain auger out of silo--really sealing this up well, but then the grain begins its decent towards the mill and builds up speed rattling around the galvy tubing we have. I am contemplating a series of 45 dgree elbows such that the grain "spirals" down, rather than "drops" down into the mill
2) covering the top of the mill with a sheet of cardboard, cutting out a 2" hole, and having a vacuum suck up any dust in gthe fore-mill chamber.
3) a vent hole out of the grist case with a vacuum on this as well
4) again a sloping 45 twisting grain entry point into the fore-masher.
these 45 degree "spirals" work really well for the grain put my vacuum is nothing more than a shop vac. Its dangerous (not rated for explosion) and the filter clogs like crazy. Further the exhaust isn't 100% dust free....suggestions anyone for a top of the line "Grain dust vacuum" without installing a centralized "dust collection system" for an 8,000 sq foot brewery?
