Dust Suppression System – Contain dust within the product stream – with visible results

Dust-busting ingenuity – simple, effective, dust minimisation from Guttridge

Cleverly avoid complicated retractable or telescopic options, with this award winning bulk outloading hopper.

 

  • Less waste
  • Less maintenance
  • Minimal investment
  • Little or no dust

By concentrating the discharge of dry goods as a solid column, the Dust Suppression System ingeniously contains the dust within the product stream – with visible results. The two photos below show the dramatic impact the hopper has on reducing dust levels.

The Dust Suppression System is simply installed under a feedpoint where it can be suspended above the target, facilitating loading into any repository including ships, trucks, rail cars, stock piles, storage containers or bags; effectively lowering dust hazards, health risks, wastage, cleaning and maintenance – and increasing your overall storage capacity. 

When simplicity gives great results – why complicate?

Choose the range, capacity and material to suit your application

Originally designed to reduce dust when handling fertilisers, the Dust Suppression System has proved to be as highly effective for cereals, pet foods, sugar, salt and sand plants – in fact, most
free-flowing granular products.

Choose the best flow capacity…

  • Applications on some products currently reaching over 800 tonnes/hr
  • Multiple hoppers can be used for higher throughput
  • Capacities are dependent on material characteristics
  • Call Chris Jackson for details

…..and the best material;

Whatever you need to load, from highly abrasive sand and gravel to warm materials and food grade, the DSH is available in

  • Polyethylene
  • Nylon
  • Steel and Stainless steel
  • Ceramic lined

The standard version requires no power at all, has no internal moving parts and when you need to manage the load-out of a range of different materials from the same conveyor system, the more advanced positional feed model (PFC), includes a built in computerised control to manage the discharge rate for products with different specific gravities.

A simple solution with significant benefits
•    Improve air quality – creating a safer, healthier  environment
•    Lower dust and air pollution – allowing a safe operation in close proximity
•    Faster loading of dry goods – creating a better operational efficiency
•    Turn off dust collect systems
•    Reduce cleaning and maintenance
•    Minimise the risk of dust explosion
•    Cut out contamination
•    Save degradation, wastage and shrinkage of product
•    Increase storage capacity
•    Minimise capital expenditure and operating costs
