Conference: 2025 AGG1 Academy & Expo
Description:
Aggregate producers can experience the problems of dust from belt conveyors. This dust is hazardous and with new MSHA silica dust rules, it is becoming more important to mitigate. Much of a facilities dust is created at a belt conveyor transfer point because material is in a free fall and fines are exposed to air flows. This presentation will teach attendees how simple mechanical techniques can make a significant impact on dust at a belt conveyor transfer point. Attendees will learn how they can design, repair or maintain new or existing transfer points in a manner that seals air in the skirted area until that air can be slowed to a velocity that can no longer can carry dust. Examples and successes of the techniques used will be discussed.
