For Malt Manufacturing, the saved research highlights combustible dust, boiler and pressure vessel, product contamination and recall. Confirm how these arise in the actual operation, what controls are used and whether additional services change the proposed coverage.
Questions to ask
- What is the annual production capacity and what grains are processed — barley, rye, other?
- What grain storage infrastructure is on-site — bin count, total capacity, construction type?
- Is there a documented combustible dust management and housekeeping program in place?
- What boiler and pressure vessel equipment is on-site, and what is the current inspection and certification status?
- Who are the primary customers — large national breweries, craft breweries, distilleries, food manufacturers — and are there long-term supply contracts with penalty provisions?
- Has the facility had any prior property losses, dust incidents, or product quality claims?
- For Malt Manufacturing, what should the underwriter know about prior combustible dust incidents, near-misses, or regulatory citations related to grain dust accumulation?
- For Malt Manufacturing, what should the underwriter know about inadequate dust collection, housekeeping programs, or no documented combustible dust management plan?

Malt manufacturers convert raw barley, rye, or other grains into malt through a controlled process of steeping (soaking grain in water), germination (allowing controlled sprouting), and kilning (drying with heat). The finished malt is then packaged in bulk or bags for sale primarily to breweries, distilleries, and food manufacturers. Facilities typically include large grain storage bins, steep tanks, germination floors or drums, kiln dryers, and bulk handling conveyors.
