Ratholing, bridging, and buildup have two common mechanical fixes — air cannons and vibrators — and picking the wrong one can make the problem worse.
Most conveyor dust is generated at transfer points, and the fix starts with chute design, belt support, and sealing — not with a bigger dust collector.
The MSHA silica rule is tied up in court, but waiting for a final answer is a bad bet — here is what aggregate and quarry operators should be doing now.
Rubber and polyurethane conveyor skirting compared on wear life, sealing performance, belt friendliness, and total cost — plus the install details that decide whether any skirting actually seals.
Carryback is material that clings to the belt past the discharge pulley, and it drives cleanup labor, component wear, and dust problems that most plants underestimate.
NFPA 660 consolidated six combustible dust standards into one, killed grandfathering, and strengthened DHA requirements — here is what changed and what to do about it this quarter.
A plain-language walkthrough of the DHA process — who needs one under NFPA 660, what actually happens during the study, and the mistakes that make plants redo them.
