A unified system combining DustScrape, AirScrape, TrailScrape, and K-Containment Seal provides an integrated solution for improving overall dust containment.
DustScrape: primary dust suppression
At the heart of effective dust management is DustScrape, designed to capture dust at critical transfer points. DustScrape utilises a filter cloth that captures fine dust particles produced within bulk material transfers, allowing air permeability to accommodate overpressure. DustScrape protects workers and enhances operational efficiency by suppressing dust where it forms.
AirScrape: contactless skirting for enhanced containment
Complementing DustScrape is AirScrape, an innovative contactless skirting system. AirScrape uses airflow generated by the moving belt to create a suction effect that keeps fine dust within the load zone. This method minimises the risk of dust escaping into the atmosphere and reduces belt wear, which is crucial for high-volume operations.
AirScrape’s design ensures that dust containment is maintained without additional maintenance burdens. Its ability to capture fine dust without contact extends equipment life and reduces operational disruptions, making it an ideal solution for dusty environments.
TailScrape: secondary dust and spillage control
Even with primary containment systems, dust and material spillage can still occur, which is why TailScrape offers secondary protection. Located at the tail of conveyors, TailScrape directs spillage and fine particles back onto the belt, preventing leakage and ensuring that dust remains contained.
This additional containment layer is essential in reducing dust exposure, where minimal leakage can pose significant health risks. TailScrape also improves dust management and minimises material loss, optimising operational efficiency.
K-Containment Seal: pressure control for maximum containment
The final component of this unified system is the K-Containment Seal, which manages internal pressure at transfer points. Engineered with low-friction polyurethane, the seal ensures that bulk materials and dust remain contained while preventing dust from escaping under pressure. This is crucial where heavy material flows can easily disrupt containment efforts.
The K-Containment Seal’s durability also reduces wear on both the conveyor and the sealing system, extending the life of the equipment and lowering maintenance costs over time.
By integrating DustScrape, AirScrape, TailScrape, and K-Containment Seal, operators can create a robust, unified dust control system that improves operational efficiency. This integrated approach improves safety and delivers long-term cost savings by reducing maintenance and extending equipment life. For quarry and the bulk material handling industry, a unified dust management system is essential for securing a safer, more efficient future.
