Local intake pit aspiration:

Dust returns to the product flow.

Traders, terminals; e.g. cooperatives,

agricultural trade

Central aspiration:

Dust does not return to the product

flow.

Processers; e.g. flour mills, food

processers

Aspirators

- Reduce risk of dust explosions

- Less flow problems when large bins

get empty.

- Increasing storage space.

Fresh air, or air-recirculation aspirators

are efficiently removing light

impurities.
