Greg Bierie, Benetech, USA, discusses how cutting-edge conveyor technologies can improve safety, maintenance, and compliance for dry bulk material transport.
argo includes a variety of dry bulk products or materials in need of transportation, storage, and transfer involving the use of belt conveyor systems. Although cargo could be anything from forest products to mining materials, the issues are similar. The systems and components are similar but vary in design and performance characteristics depending on the transported material. This article will discuss some of
the problems and solutions that have benefitted from the Benetech design philosophy of total dust management. Stringent environmental and occupational health and safety regulations require attention to spillage and dust that is generated from handling dry bulk cargoes. The Benetech approach uses an entire box of tools it has developed to attain total dust and spillage management
