  3. Thanks guys. We're certainly not doing anything just yet. This is all in preparation before we sit down with the county and Fire Marshall. Our architects have never dealt with this, so we're educating them in a lot of areas. Our space already has a small "machine room" built out of block that would house our hammermill perfectly. Block is generally rated for 2 hours from what I can find. I just wanted to make sure that our unmilled grain storage did not also have to be in an enclosed and compartmentalized space. That would require us building a pretty large room which is expensive and take up precious space. Appreciate all of the input!
  4. Thanks for your help, James! I did more research and have found a little more information. I'll attach it here for anyone else interested in digging through and reading it for themselves. The IFC does not address this issue directly, rather it points to the NFPA to give guidance. From what I have found so far, the NFPA only requires grain to be separated if the grain storage area is greater than 5000 sq ft. IFC Chp 22 - Combustible Dust Producing Procedures http://publicecodes.cyberregs.com/icod/ifc/2012/icod_ifc_2012_22_par006.htm 2204.1 Standards. The fire code official is authorized to enforce applicable provisions of the codes and standards listed in Table 2204.1 to prevent and control dust explosions. TABLE 2204.1 EXPLOSION PROTECTION STANDARDS STANDARD SUBJECT NFPA 61 Agricultural and Food Products NFPA 69 Explosion Prevention NFPA 70 National Electrical Code NFPA 85 Boiler and Combustion System Hazards NFPA 120 Coal Preparation Plants NFPA 484 Combustible Metals, Metal Powders and Metal Dusts NFPA 654 Manufacturing, Processing and Handling of Combustible Particulate Solids NFPA 655 Prevention of Sulfur Fires and Explosions NFPA 664 Prevention of Fires and Explosions in Wood Processing and Woodworking Facilities NFPA - 61 http://iepi.neu.edu.cn/Download/Standards/NFPA/NFPA%2061-2008%20Standard%20for%20the%20Prevention%20of%20Fires%20and%20Dust%20Explosions%20in%20Agricultural%20and%20Food%20Processing%20Facilities.pdf 4.3.1 - Interior Wall Construction Storage areas larger than 5000 sq ft and containing packaging , bagging, palletizing, and pelleting equipment shall be cut off from all other areas with fire barrier walls designed for a minimum fire resistance of 2 hours and designed in accordance with NFPA 5000, Building Construction and Safety Code Chapter 8, Fire-Resistive Materials and Construction. NFPA 654 http://www.ishn.com/articles/98439-understanding-the-changes-to-dust-explosion-standard-nfpa-654 This references testing the risks associated with combustible dust. I think this will come down to being able to convince your local authorities that the dust produced by your hammermill does not present a hazard.
  5. We're currently working with an architect to finish ironing out our floor plan. We plan to purchase local grain and mill ourselves with a hammermill. We have a flex-flow auger system for moving the grain afterward. They're stating that building a separate fire rated grain room is required for milling and storage. I can't recall seeing a separate room in any other distillery that I've visited. I've searched through the IFC and IBC and looked at all of the MAQ tables. I just can't seem to find anything that is clear. I could understand the hammermill being separated because of the dust, but does the grain have to be separated while it is being stored before milling? Could someone point me in the right direction of where I can find out a definite answer on this? Thanks much!
  6. For sale is a Sussman ES100 Electric Boiler. We bought this several months ago at the beginning of our planning stages. Since then, many things have changed and this unit no longer fits what we need. It was purchased from an individual that installed it for use in a restaurant application. The boiler was installed and never used. We have never installed it. It has been stored indoors at all times. Unit cabinet looks brand new. Can provide more photos upon request. Unit currently located in Central Maryland. Any questions, please ask. According to the "average" guide to sizing boilers (1,000 btu/hour per gal needing heated), this unit should service a 350 gallon steam jacketed kettle. Sussman ES100 KW - 108 360,000 btu/hour BHP - 11 208VAC - 3 Phase 120VAC Control Voltage Up to 100 psi - ASME Code "M" $5000 OBO - Boiler must be sold.. please make offer. SOLD AS IS. Free Local Pickup - but you'll need a lift gate or trailer. Unit currently bolted to a pallet. Can ship via freight. Buyer assumes actual cost of freight as well as arrangement to pick up at the current equipment location.
