Accumulation of damp material around steel conveyor structures can accelerate corrosion and make it difficult for plant personnel to observe the problem.
Material spillage can pose safety hazards to personnel working around conveyors.
Material spillage is defined as material that escapes the conveyor. Spillage is different from dust and carryback and therefore, should be prevented differently. Way too many facilities continue to just deal with spillage and are accustomed to the “it is just the way it is” attitude. Material spillage is totally preventable through inexpensive mechanical solutions.
Spillage presents many threats to profitability such as; potential for lost material, labor cost for cleanup, risk of injury, housekeeping issues, and increased threat of unexpected downtime.
