Best Practices for Controlling Dust at Conveyor Transfer Points, Paper360º July/August 2025
It doesn’t matter if it’s from a silo,
hopper, or another conveyor, when dry bulk
material is dropped onto a moving conveyor
belt, dust emissions are inevitable, right?
Not necessarily.
The moving belt, even when empty, pulls
air through the enclosure in the direction it is
moving. When the material hits the belt, the
impact causes the cargo to splash and particulates
to become airborne, and the subsequent
air turbulence forces the dust emissions toward
the nearest opening. Without a sealed environment
that controls airflow, the poor air quality
creates a serious workplace safety hazard.
