Using Engineered Controls to Reduce Conveyor Dust
This webinar will teach attendees how simple mechanical techniques can make a significant impact on reducing dust at belt conveyor transfer points.
*We recently presented on this concept at the AGG1 Conference in St. Louis*

Aggregate producers can experience negative effects from conveyor dust. This dust is hazardous and given the new MSHA silica dust rules, it is becoming more important to mitigate. Most dust within a facility is created at the belt conveyor transfer point because material is in a state of free fall and fines are exposed to airflow.
Attendees will learn how to design, repair, or maintain transfer points in a manner that seals air in the skirted area until it can be slowed to a velocity that can no longer carry dust. Examples and successes will be discussed.
What you will learn:
- Proper belt support & how it affects dust generation
- Limitations of skirting systems & how to get the most out of them
- Proper transfer point design to seal air and slow its velocity
