There are many methods currently used across industries to reduce dust emissions. The following are the most common practices used in manufacturing processes today.
The Vortex Orifice Gate is specifically engineered to handle dry bulk solids in gravity flow, dilute phase, or vacuum conveying systems with pressures up to 15 psig (1 barg) depending on size.
The spout is set up to address environmental dust pollution from open truck loading.
In this case, the Vortex pivoting chute diverter is being used as a “splitter” diverter – allowing material to flow from one source to two destinations at the same time.
A Vortex Aero-Slide Conveyor transports material into an interior discharge tube that exists in the connecting spool piece. The action of the filter unit does not affect material flow into the spout.
Each Vortex Aggregate Gate is installed below a surge hopper and is used to feed fine sand materials into a mixer.
Discharge corn from three silos above into one screw conveyor. Provide a solution that allows total volumetric flow control, for precise batching in an outdoor application.
To mitigate the dust created and emitted during the loading process, the skirt flares out over top of the material pile to trap dust as it is being removed by vacuum pull to a dust collector.
Application: Install a diverter to feed material from a storage bin toward two packing lines.
