Supplied ProductsDUST SUPPRESSION

We provide effective solutions to fugitive dustemission problems. Collection system or dustextraction offer high efficiency but can be veryexpensive to manufacture, operate and maintainand can only be used in conditions that allow fortotal enclosure. Our Scua Agglomerative DustSuppression systems are based on cost effectiveand flexible water, air-water or chemical-watertechnology, all with minimum effect on downstreamprocesses. Our Dust Suppression systems useonly quality components and are robustly designedfor the taxing enviroment of mining.The equipmentrequires minimum effort and cost to operate andmaintain.A problem common to many industries such asmining, mineral and chemical processing, woodproducts and power generation, fugitive dustemissionsare now regulated pollutants with mostgovernments having introduced stringent laws toprotect workers health. Very fine solid particlesof fibrogenic dust represent a serious healthhazard and abrasive dust particles are also a causeof excessive wear and resultant breakdowns inrotating machinery. Operating without dust controlmay lead to labour related problems and costlydown time.DUST SUPPRESSION TYPESWater- cost effective, low maintenance, ease ofoperation.Air-Water- Where water is undesirable such aswith cement.Surfactant- Water- For hydrophobic materialssuch as coal.

AGGLOMERATIVE DUST SUPPRESSIONAgglomerative Dust Suppression Technology was developedby The Royal Institute of Stockholm in the early 1970's withthe commercial availability of atomizing nozzles. These nozzlesproduce liquid particles within the 10-30 micron range. Usuallyapplied at transfer points, a fine mist of droplets is sprayed intoairborne dust. These fine droplets and dust particles combineto form agglomerates. Being too heavy to remain airborne,these agglomerates settle back onto the material. in the settlingprocess, the agglomerates also wet the bulk material slightly,thus fur ther inhibiting the generation of fugitive dust.There are numerous parameters to be considered in effectivedust suppression system design. these include transfer pointconditions, accessibility, dust dispersion patterns, nozzle location,and the type of spray liquid to employ.MATERIAL FLOWIn the underground or open pit ore extraction enviromentdrills break, bolts get discarded and loader teeth shear off. inmost cases these pieces of tramp metal end up with the orein the tipping trucks and on the conveyor belts. If not removed,tramp metal could cause enormous damage to downstreamprocessing equipment such as crushers. Inthe case of secondaryand tertiary crushers, normally with a smaller aperture, trampmetal even jam the crusher, bringing it to a halt. When thishappens the crusher has to be stripped down in order toremove the offending piece of tramp metal , seriously impactingproductivity.The two primary methods of ensuring that tramp metal isremoved from ore are either by means of a magnet or bymeans of a metal detector.More often that not, the two methods are employed inconjuction with each other. Magnets are highly successful inremoving a large amount of tramp metal but cannot pick upnon-magnetic metals such as stainless steel or pieces of metalthat are, for instance, firmly wedged under a large piece ogore. In such cases metal detectors are employed to identifythe tramp metal not removed, mark the ore and stop the beltto allow for the removal of the tramp metal by the operator.

METAL DETECTORSMAGNETSSolving Bulk Material Flow Problems Using PneumaticKnockers and Air CannonsPneumatic KnockersOur Scua Pneumatic Knockers provide elastic shocksto the sides of the bins and hoppers, ideal forpreventing material from settling. Bridging, siphonsand residue formation usually occur at or near theactual discharge points. Depending on the size andconfiguration of the bin, chute or silo, a number ofknockers could be fitted at trouble spots. Simplyput, if the material may be brought to flow by useof a hummer, Pneumatic Knockers would be aneffective option. (Contact us for more info.)Air CannonsOur Air Cannons are designed to enhance handlingof a wide range of bulk material, including alumina,animal feed, chloride, cement, chalk, coal, coke,dolomite, dust, grain, saw dust, salt, sugar, wood chips,crushed rock, sand, different types of ore, fertilizer,flour, and more. Air Cannons are effective in removingthe common problems of plugging, rat holes andbridging. The number and size of Air Cannonsrequired for any given application depends on bin,chute or silo size and the bulk material type.Air Cannons prevent blockages and restrictionsthrough an empirically established blasting sequence.Relatively easy to intall and safe to operate, AirCannons do not have to be removed from the pointof instal lat ion for routine maintenance .
