Narrative

EE was struggling with the quality of Hydrate. EE decided to dump the material. EE locked-out the Hydrator and screw to troubleshoot. Once the cover was open EE noticed that there was no material in the screw housing. EE used a sledge to free the material from the chute. As EE was banging on the chute, material fell into the screw housing, inundating EE.
