Primary, secondary, and tertiary bladed systems ensure dust from carryback is mitigated.
The team from Martin Engineering China designed a transfer point system that effectively settles the load and centers it on the belt. Technicians installed a Martin® Impact Cradle, Slider Cradles and ApronSealTM Skirting, as well as a TrackerTM system to maintain proper belt alignment. Designed for heavy, high impact loads, the transfer point retains a tight seal on the belt to reduce dust emissions and spillage.
Following the installation, the customer reports a drastic reduction in fugitive dust and spillage, resulting in fewer equipment breakdowns, better air quality and increased production, with less product loss. Operators say that they are “very satisfied” with the products and service Martin Engineering provided and will continue a positive working relationship.

The new system completely enclosed the process, nearly eliminating dust and spillage.
Conveyor Dust: Not Just a Forgone Conclusion
The prevailing impression that bulk handling is inherently dusty is an old idea that regulators are trying to reverse. By identifying causes of dust and retrofitting modern equipment, operators find that they can control emissions at the source and increase efficiency. Designers and engineers of high- quality conveyor accessories are constantly striving to innovate, adding ways for operators to reduce employee interactions with equipment, significantly lower dust emissions, improve workplace safety and remain compliant. With the help of equipment manufacturers, operators can be air quality heroes.
