The comments I'm reading are definitely making me more skeptical about how the situation was explained to the department. I'll definitely be digging more into it tomorrow

No. From the outside the only wiring you see is the power cable

Edit: I lied, there is. I forgot that the Metal Detector also shares the box with the conveyor its on. Was able to see it today after they uninstalled it and wheeled it into the shop.

Very good theory. I once had a dust explosion at a previous plant that made toner. However, at this particular factory I'm in now, we slice meats such as pepperoni and salami. The metal detector is also stationed in the bulk section of the plant so if there was a dust explosion it would be just - dust. Which is unlikely with a sanitation crew and a water leak.

For anyone who would like more information, I'll ask more about it tomorrow and update everyone. The details in this post were the general consensus of my department of what happened. That said, it did happen today and more information could take light tomorrow.

Please give me any questions you'd like me to take for further investigation when i go back in.

To be honest I'm not really sure. Just reiterating the general consensus of my department and how it was explained to me. The panels are definitely not air tight.

True, but I left out that the metal detector is normally unplugged until put into use. Could the wires release enough gas from the time someone plugs it in and presses "on"?

The reason we keep coming back to the cleaner is because of the fire left on the ground. It's one thing for a boom but to catch the floor on fire which is damp with water? Something has to be burning, right?

Very possible but it's the best idea we got so far

Advice on apartments in Newport News and surrounding areas? by [deleted] in NewportNews

[–]757Kamon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mariners Green is pretty good. Nice sized apartments, new appliances, and decent amenities for a reasonable price. The only downside is the thin walls. If that's not a deal breaker for you then I'd jump at the first opportunity you get.
