Happy World Whole Grains Day: Discover the Depart Solution for Cleaner, More Efficient Grain Production!
On World Whole Grains Day, November 19th, as we celebrate the sustainable strength of the grain industry, we take a closer look at the Depart Dust Stop Hopper solution. This innovative product protects employee health while providing more efficient processes for your facility.
Golden wheat fields, plump corn kernels, hearty barley—grains have fed humanity for millennia, gracing tables worldwide. Yet the dust kicked up during bulk loading threatens workers' well-being and slows down production. That's where Depart steps in, delivering innovative, effective, and sustainable fixes for the grain sector's toughest challenges.
What is World Whole Grains Day and Why Do We Celebrate It?
World Whole Grains Day falls every November 19th. Launched by the Whole Grains Initiative in 2019, it aims to spotlight the benefits of whole grains. Backed by heavyweights like the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) and the WHO (World Health Organization), the day underscores how these foods boost our health and the planet.
Packed with fiber, B vitamins, iron, and magnesium, whole grains can cut heart disease risk by 18 percent and cancer by 12 percent. The day also sheds light on agriculture’s environmental footprint. Whole grains need less water and fertilizer to grow, making them a key player in sustainable farming. Still, people aren’t eating enough: in the US, intake hovers below one serving a day, and it’s even lower in developing countries.
Meanwhile, the dust from grain processing—one of the trickiest steps—puts workers at risk for breathing issues and injuries, while dragging down efficiency and product quality.
Depart Dust Stop Hopper: The End of Dust, the Beginning of Productivity
The Depart Dust Stop Hopper eliminates dust generated during the loading of grain and other food raw materials. With manual (DS-M) and automatic (DS-A) options, it is perfectly suited for all types of granular products, such as wheat, corn, and barley. Its operating principle is simple and highly innovative: Dust generated during product flow is trapped within the product and stopped by a natural barrier. This keeps loading stations clean and eliminates the need for expensive filtration systems.
- Prioritizes Employee Health: By reducing dust exposure, it prevents respiratory illnesses and workplace accidents, ensuring full compliance with occupational safety standards.
- Cost Advantage: Dust separation or storage costs are eliminated. Because the dust remains with the product, there is no need for costs such as vacuuming or air filters.
- Clean Workspaces: Maintaining clean loading stations reduces cleaning time.
- Increased Profitability: Product loading processes are significantly accelerated, while maintenance costs are also significantly reduced.
