In a recent installation, we have solved many production problems for our customer, who was losing almost 5% of materials on conveyor belts due to dust and material spill.

BLT World’s DustScrape dust filter system, which is used in conjunction with the contact-free AirScrape conveyor belt skirting system, has been specially developed for the control of dust formation and material spill at critical sections along the conveyor route and transfer points.

surrounding environment. As a result, users benefit from substantial savings in energy, housekeeping and maintenance costs, without the need for collection of material spills. “In a recent installation, we have solved many production problems for our customer, who was losing almost 5% of materials on conveyor belts due to dust and material spill,” says Mouritzen. How it works DustScrape consists of a durable filtering cloth that is installed above the conveyor belt to retain dust particles created by conveyed materials, while remaining permeable to circulating air. This long-lasting filter cloth, with cleaning and dust-releasing properties, is available with different qualities, including anti-static features, for specific applications - for example, in sugar processing or underground mining. The dust-retaining filter cloth, which is manufactured in rolls, can be extended to any required length and is suitable for any conveyor belt width. The DustScrape dust emission prevention system comprises a filter cloth, support arches and skirts, arms to hold the system above the belt and a rubber curtain to eliminate further dust development – all sized to specific requirements. This system is easy to install and can be retrofitted to existing

ScrapeTec experts developed the new dust control system about five years ago.

Correct installation ensures cost efficiency, optimum performance and safety.

The system consists of non-flammable and anti-static polyurethane materials and blades.

The system can be retrofitted to existing conveyors for continuous operation.
