Reducing Unnecessary Exposure to Dust at the Mixing Station
SPEC MIX silo delivery systems are designed to increase productivity on site while adding to job site
safety by reducing physical injury with their ergonomically correct design. The standard gravity silos
can also limit workers exposure to construction site mixing dust when the following best practices
are incorporated into every day use.
BEST PRACTICES FOR SPEC MIX
®
Loading the Silo :
1. Install the SPEC MIX Dust Containment Chute into
the fill port of the silo. The end of the tube with
the skirt should be positioned just above the top
of the silo and draped down to close any air gaps
between the dust containment chute and the silo.
2. Position the bulk bag over the top of the silo
centered over the fill port and safety ring so that the
dust containment chute meets up with the bottom
of the bulk bag.
3. Lower the bulk bag to a position just above the
safety ring, compressing the dust containment
chute.
