Richwood Offers an Engineered Approach to Dust Containment

Airborne dust can affect safety and efficiency. Traditional methods of suppression use water, chemical sprays or vacuum collection. A passive dust containment system doesn’t require interaction with the dust particles. Passive containment systems contain material throughout the length of the conveyor transfer, use a chambered system to reduce air velocity and allow dust to settle before exiting the transfer areas. The best dust containment system design evaluates the complete application requirements, establishes the correct support profile to create a solid base for sealing components, contains bulk materials and fines and allows dust to settle in its proper place. Rely on Richwood for an engineered approach to passive dust containment.
