No problem.

A 15ftx20ft room has no volume without a 3rd dimension.

No problem.

If you want to present some actual facts, maybe someone can help.

I won't play 20 questions, but think about it.

If the dust does not leave enough breathable air in the room you might want to block access to the room. Closing the door seems appropriate anyway plus is cleaning from time to time. What sort of salt is it?

The salt dust will settle on your machine and everything in the room. Ventilation just brings the dust outside the room which in conjunction with moisture might get nasty.

Make sure no moisture gets in the room and materials in the room are up for the task. Avoid flat surface so the dust is not piling up on edges that are hard to clean.

In Summary: recommend no ventilation

So why store the bags in a room? How about a cage with a roof over it instead, Murphy?

I think we are due to get a explanation on:

storage cum sieving room

Sieving = dust

Storage not much dust

I agree. One sentence is not much to go on, is it?

Use a big fan, pulling from the roof with vents at the bottom.

As others have (vaguely) indicated could you please provide a lot more information.

For example, are you talking about a small 2 person operation in a small rural town in Pakistan or thousands of bags an hour using automated machinery in a factory in Ohio!

More information please, oh and what type of salt as there are many and some are corrosive, toxic, explosive, etc (we cannot just assume common table salt).

Expected a suggestion or guidance based on experience as it is supposed to be a place for the Engineer's for news and discussions.

We need more information as I have mentioned in post #10.

With so little to go on any assumptions we make and guidance we offer could be next to useless and potentially even dangerous if the salt is flammable or toxic (for example).

Please provide more information!
