COAL-FIRED POWER INDUSTRY

The ACT Group keeps coal production online and profitable. We prevent buildups and blockages while reducing dust, spillage, and carryback. From the barge unloader or railcar dump, through the coal yard, to the bunkers that feed the boiler — we serve every area of the coal-fired power process. Power plants always look for ways to boost safety, cut costs, and improve efficiency. ACT is here to help.

Flow aids, railcar unloading, and transfer points

ACT flow aids knock down buildups in preheater towers and dislodge “snowmen” in bunkers. Our railcar connectors and unloading products improve bottom-dump hopper car unloading at coal terminals. Transfer point products — impact cradles, support cradles, and skirting — reduce spillage and dust from conveying raw materials. In addition, EVO® transfer point products are track-mounted. That simplifies installation and maintenance while improving worker safety.

Belt cleaners and silo cleaning

Primary belt cleaners remove carryback. Cartridge-mount secondary cleaners remove even more, and they are safe and easy to service. Their compact design fits close quarters, and the narrow profile resists material buildup. Our silo cleaning service safely removes buildups from storage vessels. As a result, you regain live storage capacity, recover lost material, and reduce confined space entry.

Remember that coal dust is combustible. Pairing dust control with proper industrial ventilation is therefore critical for plant safety.
