LUMBER, WOOD & PAPER DUST SUPPRESSION

Control wood dust and keep your mill running clean, safe, and productive.

Making lumber and wood products creates bulk materials at every step. Sawdust, wood chips, and shavings from one process become particleboard, flake board, and oriented strand board in another. Sawdust is even pressed into pellets and used as an alternative fuel. The ACT Group keeps these productions online and profitable. We prevent buildups and blockages while reducing dust, spillage, and carryback.

Flow aids, railcar unloading, and transfer points

ACT flow aids knock down and dislodge buildups in bunkers and silos. Our railcar connectors and unloading products improve bottom-dump hopper car unloading. 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, which simplifies installation and improves worker safety.

Belt cleaners, dust control, and metal detectors

Primary belt cleaners remove carryback. Cartridge-mount secondary cleaners remove even more, and they fit safely in close quarters. Dust collectors trap dust that could harm equipment and employees. For some applications, dust suppression is also an option. Furthermore, metal detectors protect your conveyors and machinery from damage caused by stray metal.

Wood dust is both a fire hazard and a health risk. That is why industrial ventilation belongs in every mill's dust control plan.
