That is a non sparking scoop, that might have something to do with the price. I never managed to shovel fast enough to create aSMITTY wrote:$220 for a scoop?!??!?!

My question is, what in the hell are you doing working with a metal scoop in an environment where it requires the use of a "non-sparking" scoop?AA130FIREMAN wrote:That is a non sparking scoop, that might have something to do with the price.

Flower dust, powdered dairy creamer dust can I know it has happened at the mills, Never here of that down at the general store 
I knew some guys that worked at the old Atlis gun powder plant, all there shovels were wood.

Yeah, after I typed that up I hit Google to find out what a non-sparking scoop is used for and yup, the majority is food service.
WOW,
I guess I am not the only one that gets frustrated by chasing coal round the floor!
let me check on my supply of rolled steel....looks like I need to make round 8 of them.
Will get back to ya all next week.
later,
Tim

Yeah, cool! Freddy just sent me the new ashpan he made me. Perfectly constructed I might add without the benefit of pictures. Now the potential of getting a new coal scoop. Wow, I must be living right! Lisa

Very nice craftsmanship. Here are some links for you all that can not wait until Tim is able to turn them out and distribute them. I have used this company for years and I have always had good service from them. I personally like the aluminum scoops the best. Good luck.

That's right ... I remember that huge fire at the sugar plant in GA a few years ago. Up until that point I never knew sugar dust was explosive! I knew it burned, but never really gave it much thought. I see the value in having a non-sparker in that environment now. That was one hell of a fire!!

That burns up too...
Shoot some in the air and give it a flame...
Grain elevators...
Just about anything you can get in a dust cloud can go up in flames...
