Investigation Summary
At 10:45 a.m. on January 14, 2020, two employees were working to unchoke a dust collector. The hopper below the dust collector was being hit to unchoke. One employee removed the super sack from the collar below the rotary valve and reached up into the point, where the rotary valve created a pinch point. The rotating part of the valve was unguarded. The employee amputated his middle and pointer finger fingertips and was treated without requiring hospitalization.
