Because of the heavy dust and material movement involved, cement plants are facilities that require high standards of occupational safety and environmental protection. Conveyor systems are among the main components of transport in these facilities. For these systems to run efficiently, skirt sealing systems are needed to prevent material spilling from the sides.
Dust control and occupational health
In cement production, dust generation is unavoidable, particularly at transfer points. This dust both causes environmental problems and endangers the health of employees.
Skirt sealing systems prevent dust from spreading and provide a cleaner, safer working environment. AirScrape reduces dust and spillage, and its contactless design does not damage the conveyor belt.
Cost savings and continuity
One of the main benefits of skirt sealing systems is that they reduce losses by recovering spilled material. The loss of high-cost raw materials such as cement can significantly increase operating expenses. A suitable system directs material towards the centre of the conveyor and reduces loss.
AirScrape contributes to dust control and to lower maintenance costs. Its floating design prevents wear on the belt. With no contact with the belt, there is no friction at the belt edge and belt life is extended.
Environmental and legal compliance
Dust generated in cement plants can cause serious environmental problems. Dust management is important for compliance with environmental protection legislation and for preserving air quality. Skirt sealing systems prevent spilled material from spreading into the surrounding environment.
We carry out AirScrape installation as part of a dust suppression project, together with our site survey and installation services.
Skirt sealing in efficient, safe production
In cement plants, where dust and spilled material create problems, skirt sealing systems are an important requirement. They provide benefits in dust control, prevention of material loss, environmental protection and occupational safety.
During a site survey, we inspect your transfer points on site and determine the suitable skirt sealing product and installation plan.
