Recycling - Dust suppression

Recycling is all about reducing waste and so when a recycling plant started producing unwanted wastage it was only appropriate they should seek an effective solution.

A high proportion of dust was created on conveyors and separation hoppers during the general movement of the waste. Obviously the dust was an irritant and, by the nature of the waste, could be hazardous. This created an unpleasant working atmosphere and also caused machine failure through blockages and deterioration.

When coming up with a solution to this problem we had to consider that although coverage was needed to subdue the dust, it was important not to wet the areas so much as to create a 'mud' or surface water.

Taking everything into account we implemented a system of full cone nozzles with a fine atomisation strategically placed and directed to give a fine mist over the critical areas.

This produced the desired results and ensured a very happy customer.

 

How did we do it?

TF Spiral Full Cone

The TF spiral full cone nozzle is highly energy efficient with a high discharge velocity.

It is a one-piece construction with no internal parts, and is clog resistant.

It is available with a wide range of flow rates and spray angles.

It is used for cooling, dust control, fire protection, humidification, and fogging & misting.

It can be constructed from brass, SS316, PVC, PTFE, and polypropylene.
