Grain Handling and Silos

Grain handling and silo work creates heavy dust and confined‑space hazards. Safe entry and work require continuous atmospheric monitoring, proper ventilation, and protective equipment. Dräger detection instruments, respiratory protection, and safety support services help ensure workers can monitor air quality, control dust-related risks, and safely manage confined‑space operations.

Livestock and Poultry Houses

Livestock and poultry farming environments are often exposed to hazardous gases such as ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, methane, and carbon dioxide, which can originate from animal waste, feed storage, and manure management processes. Monitoring these gases is crucial for ensuring the health and safety of both animals and workers.

Agri-solutions

Fumigation and Chemical Mixing

Fumigation and chemical mixing in agriculture use toxic substances like phosphine or methyl bromide to control pests and diseases. To ensure worker safety and prevent harmful exposure, reliable detection and protection equipment are essential during these operations.

Agri-solutions

Cold Storage and Food Ripening

Food ripening and cold storage often involve gases like ethylene, ammonia, and carbon dioxide. Ethylene accelerates fruit ripening, while ammonia and carbon dioxide are used in refrigeration. These gases are essential for these processes but can pose health risks if not properly monitored.
