Carrs Billington Animal Feed Dust Suppression & Flash Explosion Prevention – Lancaster Feed Mill
Multi-Circuit Dust Control System Enhances Safety & Operations in Animal Feed Manufacturing
Challenge:
Carrs Billington’s Lancaster feed mill required effective dust control during the animal feed blending process and bulker loading operations. Excessive dust generation was creating housekeeping issues, poor working conditions for operatives, and critically, posed a serious flash explosion risk from airborne dust accumulation. The solution needed to address these safety and operational concerns without wetting feed materials, personnel, or equipment.

The Mist-air Solution:
Mist-air installed a comprehensive three-circuit dust suppression system in 2015. The first circuit targets dust generated from tipping, moving and blending operations in the Blend Plant. The remaining two circuits specifically control dust during feed loading into bulkers. The system effectively prevents dust-related housekeeping issues, improves operator working conditions, and eliminates flash explosion risks while maintaining completely dry conditions.
