Photo Page ----  Reclaim Bin

Dust recovered in the electrostatic precipitator at this copper smelter is recycled to the process at this loader bin.  The dust is very fine, very dry, and contained toxic components.

The Raring Corporation has applied its ADS™ dust control technology to these types of applications in steel mills, cement plants, carbon plants, and many others.

Controlling dust at a loader bin, regardless of the material being loaded, is accomplished using the standard elements of ADS™ technology - fog to collect airborne dust, enclosures to contain the dust and fog mixture, and reliable controls.

Note the fabric cover on top of the bin.  Fog nozzles are installed through the enclosure along the back and side walls where they can be easily serviced.  Water mist would not be effective because the droplets are too large to agglomerate with the dust.  And without the enclosure, the displaced air caused by the dumping action, would carry the fog and water into the atmosphere.

To achieve optimum dust control, loader operators were required to lower their buckets more slowly and from a lower position than they had in the past.   Operating procedure is an important part of any dust control system.

Dust control at this site was not measured but visual observation indicated a minimum efficiency of 90%.

We guarantee it!.
