Industrial dust control

Technology

Filtrabit’s solution is based on flow dynamics. The separation core at the heart of the innovation effectively separates the dust from the air and allows for the dust extraction equipment to fit into a modular unit.

The intake air is directed and accelerated in a way that causes the dust particles to separate into a highly condensed side stream, where they can be captured without the large surface area of filter material required by traditional systems.

The system operates at a steady performance level and the captured dust is continuously discharged into a container, ready for immediate reuse as valuable raw material, as opposed to mixing with other types of dust in a centralized system.

Industries

Flow-dynamic dust separation is the new standard for industries that generate heavy, dry and fine dust. Operations that include crushing, sieving and transporting such materials on conveyor belts are particularly great beneficiaries of the technology.

Examples of customers include steel mills, foundries, quarries, mining and ore processing operations.

Steel production

Steel plants include numerous sources of dust, such as furnace dust and storage yard dust from handling raw materials and slag. Coking, sintering and pelletizing plants are prime examples of dust generating sites where flow-dynamic dust separation can provide order-of-magnitude level improvements.

Foundries

Sand handling, mold crushing and surface treatment of the molded components are common problem areas for dust control in foundries. Flow-dynamic dust separation can make a substantial difference in the working conditions and environmental impact of these facilities.

Mining and ore processing

Production of non-ferrous metals like copper and zinc also includes many operations that generate heavy dust. Handling of the ore and other raw materials requires crushing, sieving and conveying at various points.

Quarrying

Crushing and sieving are common operations and culprits for fugitive dust in quarries. Vulnerable conveyor transfer points are also ubiquitous.
