Biomass energy continues to grow in the U.S. In 2021, biomass provided about 4.8 trillion British thermal units (TBtu) of energy output (4.8 quadrillion BTU), which is equal to about 5% of total U.S. primary energy consumption. Of that amount, about 48% was from biofuels (mostly ethanol); 44% was from wood and wood-derived biomass; and […]

The conveyor belt is the workhorse of the load zone. It serves production goals with great endurance and resilience in moving tons of bulk material nonstop over long distances for extended periods. As it continues performing within often demanding conditions, the conveyor belt will inevitably develop and encounter obstacles that can affect it as well […]

Material handling systems involve the constant movement of massive amounts of product along the conveyor belt, the heart of production. With so much size, weight, and machinery in motion, personal safety in the load zone remains an ever-present concern. Just a few hazards related to conveyor equipment and components are: material spillage that falls or […]

Ports & Terminals Material Handling: How to Avoid Demurrage Charges Our domestic and global economies depend on international trade. A large part of that trade involves industrial ports and terminals through which barges and ships transport tons of materials through handling systems with many moving components. As the shipped product is loaded, unloaded, and conveyed, […]

Inhalable dust can lodge in the nose, throat, or upper respiratory tract. Fine inhalable dust can penetrate the body’s built-in cleaning mechanisms (e.g., mucus membranes) and travel deep into the bloodstream as well as the lungs, where they are likely to remain. Consistent exposure to inhalable and fine inhalable dust can irritate airways, aggravate allergies […]

Conveyor Wash Box: Remove Carryback & Bulk Material Cross-Contamination Benetech has developed the conveyor belt wash box to combat carryback and bulk material cross-contamination. The bulk material handling equipment at a typical operation will often move thousands of tons of product every hour of each day. This material is blasted, crushed, ground, conveyed, and transferred […]
