Pits generate more dust than any other area.

such as bucket elevators, cleaning machines, conveyors and tunnels

It might not look like it, but a grain warehouse is one of the most dangerous places to work. There are various risks of accidents, especially in the areas near the receiving hoppers.

We all know that warehouse hoppers are essential structures for storing produce and have a decisive impact on its quality and price. However, due to their size and complexity, they can be the source of various serious workplace accidents. With this in mind, workplace safety has always been a priority for us at Wings.

For us, the use of technology in hoppers is important to provide greater security to producers, employees and neighbors. “What we want is to implement solutions so that those who operate the hoppers can return to their homes safely, with health and safety”, and always protecting the environment.

Because hoppers are enclosed, dangerous, and treacherous areas, they are classified as confined spaces and are subject to NR-33 (Confined Spaces), ABNT standard NBR 14.787, and specific provisions of NR-18 (Civil Construction) from the Ministry of Labor and Employment (TEM).

We will mention the article by Ary de Sá (Eng.de Seg. and specialist in industrial ventilation and control of environmental risks with explosive dust) entitled Devastating effect, about explosions in places where there is a lot of accumulated dust.
