Production is key at bulk material handling operations, but a consistent problem may be occurring all the while: transfer point dust. Without proper transfer point dust control, what seems like steady production can soon become short lived. Unchecked transfer point dust will increasingly jeopardize safety, equipment maintenance, compliance and profitability. Knowing how and where to […]

Is Your System Running? Is it Meeting Your Full Expectations? If you work with dry bulk material such as biomass, recycling, wood chips, cement, or pulp and paper, you know that controlling dry dust is a constant challenge. Dry dust that is not properly managed can lead to increased safety, health, and compliance risks, not […]

Fugitive dust created by the conveyor in bulk material handling can turn into major setbacks if left unaddressed for too long. Production might continue, but it will be increasingly less efficient. Safety and compliance will become greater issues as well. You depend on your conveyor system to ensure exceptional customer service and achieve your operational […]

Keeping Carryback Out of the Way Consistent production in bulk material handling is best achieved when a conveyor belt is clean and intact so it can continue to perform. Spillage around the head pulley and carryback dust and spillage indicate the belt’s cleaning system is compromised. A worn conveyor belt scraper is often the source […]

How Safe Is Your Stored Material? Stockpiles are a critical component of any bulk material handling system, ensuring raw materials are redily available for continued production. Effective stockpile management involves sealing and protecting piles from moisture, improving environmental performance, supporting good-neighbor initiatives, and limiting oxygen exposure for combustible materials. If inactive storage piles containing fuel […]

Silica (silicon dioxide) is one of the most common elements on Earth. Silica can be found in two forms, crystalline and non-crystalline. Materials containing crystalline silica are non-hazardous unless agitated, such as blasting, crushing, chipping, cutting, drilling, and grinding, which can create tiny particles called respirable crystalline silica. Hydraulic fracturing is the main cause of […]

Total Dust Management (TDM®): A 360° Approach to a Safer, More Efficient Operation As a bulk material handler, you want to process the largest quantity of product in the least time in the safest, cleanest environment. Unfortunately, a major obstacle to that goal is spillage and fugitive dust, creating lost products, more maintenance, lost time, […]

Bulk material handlers are well aware of the complications created by dust. If not controlled properly, it can cause both serious safety hazards and production problems. Dry dust collection is one of the top causes of combustible dust incidents (up to 40%). The system is also expensive to install and maintain. Other difficulties of dry […]

The Automated Way to Greater Performance, Safety, Compliance and Savings Bulk material handlers know that keeping the plant clean and dust-free can consume labor, time, and expense, especially if your conveying areas are being manually washed with a hose. Maintaining clean, dust-free workspaces concerns more than production: It also impacts operational compliance and safety. Achieving […]

What Is It Really, and Why Do You Need One? When bulk material handlers think of dust suppression, they often think of measures taken to reduce dust but not the different “tools” used to reduce dust. Dust Suppression Meaning When Benetech refers to dust suppression, we mean a precisely engineered chemical solution–injection system that, when […]
