Overhead Flour Dust Removal at a Food Plant, Five Years in a Row

Flour is a combustible dust. In a food plant it settles on everything overhead: roof structure, beams, ducts, pipe racks, and lights.

The work

Clean Metro cleaned the overheads at this food plant as an annual combustible dust project, five years running. The work was done from lifts with HEPA recovery and containment, so the dust came out of the building instead of landing on lines and product.

Coming back every year is the proof: the plant kept the same crew for its combustible dust housekeeping year after year.
