Transfer Points & Conveyors — Fugitive Dust
Stop the dust. Increase packing efficiency.
Zone Introduction
From crusher to raw mill feeding, conveyors operate over long distances with multiple transfer chutes that leak fine dust.
Dust Generation Mechanism
- Belt impact and load-drop → Dust surges
- Belt edge leakage → Continuous fugitive dust
- Dry material sliding on steel chutes
Root Causes
Conveyor skirting gaps
Poor sealing arrangements
Vibrations at loading points
Insufficient hood ventilation
Regulatory + Production Impact
Dust spreads inside conveyor tunnels
Motor overheating due to dust coating
Frequent manual cleaning → Unsafe exposure
