Video - how to protect your Bucket Elevator from Dust Explosions

This video looks at the explosion risks in a bucket elevator. For an explosion to happen, in a bucket elevator, it needs a constant heat source, such as an overheated bearing, heat generated by a misaligned pulley, heat generated by a misaligned belt rubbing against the elevator casing or heat generated by a belt slipping on the head pulley. These hazards need to be closely monitored by appropraite hazard monitoring equipment, such as belt and pulley misalignment monitors, speed switches, bearing temperature monitor or a complete system monitoring various hazards in an elevator.
