Industrial dust collectors are used in a variety of agricultural seed processing applications such as corn shellers, seed cleaning, seep preparation, seed coating, seed hybrid development and general facility ventilation. Challenges like "bee's wings" and corn silks must be considered. In some cases, nylon overbags can be installed on the cartridges to prevent them from bridging across the cartridges.Explosion vents manufactured in accordance with NFPA standards should be used on all flammable applications. The collector should be located outside whenever possible or near an exterior wall with the explosion vents ducted per NFPA standards outside the building.
