SAFE MATERIAL HANDLING SOLUTIONS

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 Is Safe Your Stored Material? Stockpiles are an integral part of any bulk material handling system, such that proper raw material can be retrieved for continued production. Stockpile management requires sealing and protecting the piles from moisture, an improved environmental profile, good-neighbor efforts, and inhibiting oxygen if the material is combustible. If inactive storage […]

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 […]

Material handling systems are designed to ensure that raw material is successfully carried and delivered from one point in the process to the next. I.e., they aim to produce a planned, reliable output. Achieving this requires equipment and conditions that save time, money, and effort without any interruptions. However, because of various problems during the […]

Compliance and Safety for Silica If you work in a profession that involves crushing asphalt, concrete or rocks (e.g. mining, milling or construction), you’re probably aware of OSHA’s tightening Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for respirable crystalline silica (Table 1 of OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1926.1153). The new standard – 50 micrograms per cubic meter with […]

Those in the steel industry know that competing in a global market requires reliable, steady production. To achieve that excellence, your plant must supply superior products and services without delays or complications. Manufacturing steel places high demands on your conveyor systems. With maximum flow and minimal spillage and dust, belts must move iron ore, coal/coke, […]
