Mideco at GEAPS Exchange 2026: Grain Dust Control Conversations in Kansas City

GEAPS Exchange continues to be an incredible platform for Mideco, not only to showcase dust management solutions like Burnley® Baffles, but to connect directly with the people running grain operations. Meeting site managers, engineers and safety directors who handle dust compliance and operational challenges firsthand gives us valuable insight into the real-world gaps on the ground.

Those conversations reinforce why this industry matters to us, and they drive us to keep developing practical dust control systems that work on real sites.

Much of the discussion centered on one of the toughest dust problems in grain handling: fugitive dust during truck and rail unloading. When grain free-falls into a receiving pit, it displaces air and pushes a dust cloud up and out on every tip. That is a product loss problem as much as a safety one.

Burnley® Baffles are installed inside the pit to contain that dust at the source. They work without water, power or ongoing consumables, eliminating up to 80% of dust during unloading, or up to 100% when paired with a dust collector, without restricting product flow.

See how US operations use them in our case studies for Primient, Groff Julius and Mountaire Farms.

We’re proud to share that Mideco is now an official GEAPS member, reflecting our long-term commitment to supporting the U.S. grain industry. You can find us in the GEAPS member directory.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by to share their site successes and challenges with us. We’re inspired by your feedback and already looking forward to returning for GEAPS Exchange 2027, February 20 to 23, 2027, at the Kansas City Convention Center.
