Grain Milling
Grain is a staple item in many types of food production. Milling of corn, wheat, barley & other grains produces particulate dusts that are highly flammable. Generally, milling applications are classified as a hazardous area, typically falling into Class II, Division 1 or 2, group G.

Milled grains may be used as ingredients in other food products or in the production of alcoholic beverages requiring fermentation. Fermentation can produce hazardous gases with the potential for explosion.

It is essential to keep a close watch on these processes to ensure plant safety and meet quality standards. Pepperl+Fuchs products are trusted, reliable, and keep people and equipment safe.
