Feed mill employs portable combustible dust central vacuum to remove fugitive grain dust.
When Missy Morrison, plant manager at Star Milling says she wants to avoid employee injuries at all cost, she’s not regurgitating a safety slogan but stating a legitimate objective. Morrison and Maintenance Manager Keith Williams attend several safety seminars throughout the year and devote a significant amount of time staying abreast of OSHA news. “Many people don’t understand that grain milling is high risk,” says Williams. “It’s an extremely flammable industry.”
Located in Perris, CA, Star Milling was created to produce quality feed for the family egg farm. Now, the mill uses raw grains and other ingredients to produce feed for a wide variety of animals. In addition to producing its own Integrity, Kelley’s, Ace Hi and Ultra Balance feeds, the company provides private-label services and delivers its feed in bulk tankers to farms.
