[QUOTE="PostHarvest, post: 7022973, member: 1570"] I don't see a problem with leaf blowers other than they don't remove the dust, mostly they just move it around. The problem in commercial silos is that a mechanical failure in a machine, typically a bucket elevator can trigger a small explosion that ruptures the casing if it isn't properly vented to the outside. If the casing splits, the primary explosion can stir up dust in the passageways and set off a bigger secondary explosion. I've advised several commercial silos in the Middle East on explosion prevention which obviously they see as a major hazard in their climate. [/QUOTE]
