While baghouse filters make perfect sense for collecting dust in confined areas such as elevators and grain cleaners, when bulk products are dumped into receiving hoppers, the dust being expelled at a high velocity far exceeds the filter’s capacity to capture the dust so that time and money must be spent, filtering the air above the pit. The Wings DustControl system keeps the dust with the product below the hopper grate, a cost effective solution to the dust problem.
The DustControl is a system for suppressing dust in bulk-product receiving pits. It has been on the market for over 20 years, with more than 250 units installed in Brazil and abroad, and tops the list of equipment in terms of the cost-benefit ratio. The DustControl system is installed under the pit grate and does not take up space on the pit’s surface. It is completely automatic and does not use electrical energy, and, it is maintenance-free. The DustControl system is composed of modules that cover the entire surface area below the pit grate. The modules have small chutes that regulate the flow of the product into the pit to maintain the modules with enough product to filter the exiting dust-laden air. The DustControl controls the dust emission without slowing the unloading process. That is why Copacol Brazil installs Wings DustControl systems!
