DUST SUPPRESSION
Dust is a common issue in grain handling facilities, and it can lead to a range of problems and challenges:
- Health hazards: dust can contain allergens, mold spores, and fine particulate matter.
- Fire and explosion risk: grain dust is combustible, and can lead to fires and explosions.
- Premature wear and tear: dust particles are abrasive and can cause faster deterioration of machinery.
- Operational inefficiencies: dust accumulation leads to operational inefficiencies.
- Product contamination: contaminants, impurities, and molds degrade the quality of the grain.
- Environmental impact: dust emissions cause environmental consequences on local wildlife and communities.
We’ve developed a system that uses mineral oil as an agent for dust suppression. The system can reduce the dispersion of dust particles during grain processing and storage operations.
It is a complete solution which follows the specific process:
- Identification of dust generation points - key areas within the handling facility where the dust is generated (conveyor belts, chutes, loading, unloading areas)
- Fire and explosion risk: grain dust is combustible, and can lead to fires and explosions.
- System supply on a turnkey basis
- Personnel training
HOW IT WORKS?
The mineral oil application involves strategically placed spray nozzles or misting systems that automatically bind dust particles, reducing their airborne dispersion
Control and monitoring systems manage the frequency and intensity of mineral oil spray based on dust levels and operational needs
Routine maintenance, including cleaning nozzles and refilling the mineral oil reservoir, is crucial for system effectiveness
