Af ter the grinding operation the material usually is moved to the next processing point by pneumatic conveyors similar to those used in dust collection systems. Transporting the material by means of bucket conveyors has all of the hazards attendant to an elevator leg without the possibility of dust collection.

Re commendations for the safe operation of the elevator portion of mills are, of course, the same as those discussed in the main text of this report . me principal dif ference between recommendations applying to the elevator and to the process ing sys tem is that dust collection cannot be appl fed to the processing machinery; manual housekeeping assumes a greater role due to "leaks.

In summary, although feed mills, flour mills, and grain elevators differ substantially from one another, they share, in varying degrees, the same dust explosion hazards. The emphasis for hazard reduction in each type of facility is therefore on dus t control, and the panel recommends that hammer mills, other grinding equipment, and their dust collection systems be isolated physically and pneumatically from the main facility.
