Hi everyone,

 

Does anyone here have experience with flour in woven sacks? How do you package flour to prevent dust?

 

If the woven sacks are sewn with inner plastic bags, sometimes during storage (stacking on pallets) the inner plastic bags are damaged/broken, and the flour becomes dusty. How do you prevent this dust?

 

Could you share your experience?

 

Thank you.

I work with flour based products.   Simple answer:   Lots of cleaning.

Not flour, but I worked with raw and processed sugars.  They were also quite messy.  Answer was, as previously suggested, lots of cleaning.

 

I'd just like to remind that small powder is a HUGE fire risk (even explosion risk depending on confinement) so please put extra efforts into ensuring your cleaning procedures are cleaning even hard to reach spaces and that accumulations of flour on horizontal surfaces is removed frequently and kept to a minimum.
