Mineral processing and mining generate large volumes of abrasive dust that can affect not only equipment operation but also worker safety and the environment. Proper dust management in these activities is crucial to ensure production efficiency, protect machinery, and minimize environmental impact.
In the mining and cement industries, there are several areas and processes where large amounts of dust are generated. These are some of the most common applications where effective dust collection systems are crucial:
- Truck and wagon loading and unloading.
- Crushers and screens.
- Transfer points on conveyor belts.
- Storage in silos and containers.
- Truck, barge, or wagon filling.
- Environmental remediation
