Hi folks,
i'm in need of some advice:
a customer of our's is having troubles with his big-bag station. He fills 700-800 kg of grinded sulphur from a 1000 kg big bag to another big bag.
Again and again dust explosions occur.
Source is the friction of the material itself, not material-wall friction.
The system is not closed (sadly). Grounding did not work.
What are possible solutions to this problem ?
We are thinking atm:
reducing falling height of one bigbag to the other
closing the system
inertisation (nitrogen ?)
ventilation
best wishes
Alex.
