Abschnitt 7.5 - 7.5 Removal from the flour scale

Flour must be transferred from the flour scale to a mixing bowl or other container in such a way that dust generation is kept low. This can be achieved by one of the following methods:

  • The flour scale and mixing bowl must be tightly connected and the displaced air must be controlled so that as little flour dust as possible will be released into the working environment, for example by means of a suitable dust extraction,

  • The flour must be transferred by means of a filling tube extending to the bottom of the bowl or in a controlled manner with a low drop height.
