PRODUCT OF THE MONTH
Engineered Passive Dust Containment is a primary engineering control that can solve the problem of exposure to respirable crystalline silica.
The system design allows airborne dust to “settle” into the main stream of product. It does not require additional methods of dust suppression such as water or chemical sprays.
A Passive Containment System keeps material on the belt throughout the length of the conveyor transfer. It employs a series of chambers that are designed to reduce air velocity and allow dust particles to settle back down to the belt before exiting the transfer area.
The Passive Dust Containment System uses guidelines from CEMA (Conveyor Equipment Manufacturer’s Association) to determine the recommended time and distance for material settling at the load zone.
