Bruks Siwertell Increased wood handling and dust requirements continue to fuel a strong demand for Bruks Siwertell’s expertise. The company’s extensive line of wood yard technologies enables dry bulk handling and processed wood industries to operate safely, maximizing their efficiency and minimizing the negative impact of dust. This improves both operational sustainability and environmental protection. Optimized to reduce dust emissions, Bruks Siwertell’s low-profile end-pivot truck dumpers ensure that trucks unload their cargo at a low elevation (approximately 2.5 m above the ground) and directly into the back end of the hopper. This keeps the impact of free-flowing material from falling out of the back of the truck very low and results in minimal dust emissions, particularly when handling very Bruks Siwertell can help reduce dust emissions from dry materials such as wood shavings or pellets. stacker reclaimers. The truck dumper can be covered with a fixed or rotating hood. Both versions mitigate dust emissions by bridging the gap between the truck dump end and the covered hopper. Where no dust emissions are permitted, a dust collector can also be specified. Dust collectors can be mounted directly over the covered hopper or ducted to a central baghouse so that the customer can make better use of it. Bruks Siwertell has provided several truck receiving systems with particulate emissions guarantees. Bruks Siwertell also offers an extensive range of conveying systems, including air-supported conveyors, which eliminate the use of rollers beneath the belt, delivering the highest possible levels of dust control and operating efficiency, and bringing huge cost savings from reduced maintenance requirements. The company has also developed upgrades specifically targeted at reducing dust emissions for facilities that use stacker reclaimers. These systems are always supplied with infeed hoppers on the stacker boom, which have undergone substantial design improvements. The latest generation of infeed hoppers incorporate several enhancements. Deflector plates located inside the hopper control the flow of material onto the conveyor, directing wood chips to the center of the stacker belt. This gives a greater level of material management to optimize the efficiency of the system, allowing for a smooth motion of the luffing boom and an important reduction in dust emissions.
