AirScrape controls dust and material a a Dolomit Plant
At mineral processing 01-02/2017 Conventional skirting is pressed against a conveyor belt so that dust and material stays in the middle of the belt when it reaches a belt transfer point. But after a certain time, wear at
the skirting and belt can be so severe that material and dust can escape.The result is unnecessary spillage of material and forma- tion of dust.This used to be the case at Rump & Salzmann Gip- swerk Uehrde GmbH & Co. KG, which operates a dolomite quarry in Uehrde. Here, at the transfer from the rotary crusher to the belt conveyor, there were always big problems with dust and material losses. Several tonnes of material spillage had to be
removed at this transfer point every three months. Repeated maintenance was required at the transfer point and the belt skirting.
Finally, operations manager at Rump & Salzmann, Uwe Schridde, contacted ScrapeTec. Following an assessment of the situation on site, AirScrape was installed (Fig.). AirScrape works according to a completely new principle,
