Kinder Australia is helping quarries keep dust down while protecting material from the elements with its K-AllShelter Capotex covers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quarries can be a harsh and unrelating place for conveyors and the material they move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being exposed to the Australian elements can invite disaster. Rain adds more complications to the mix, as adding water to quarried material can quickly alter the consistency and lead to screen blinding, clogging, chute hangups and blockage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat and humidity can interfere with material quality and flow, while the sun\u2019s harsh ultraviolet rays can shorten the belt life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strong winds can blow material off the belt, and in some cases, even flip the belting entirely. This also has the added problem of creating dust emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter Laskey, a Kinder Australia field application specialist, told Quarry that dust prevention is becoming even more important in the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are seeing quarries around the country looking to minimise dust as much as they can,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRegulations are strict and it\u2019s important to ensure the safety of the nearby workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One Victorian Quarry reached out to Kinder Australia to rectify its onsite dust issues. The site had recently improved one of its transfer points to deal with dust that had been building up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, following the transfer point upgrade, dust was being redirected to a different point of the conveyor system. Two vertical shaft impactors were frequently creating excessive dust emissions, particularly around the front of the transfer site, during the start up and production phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baffles were previously used, but this solution was not enough to combat excessive dust emissions during normal production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

K-AllShelter features: <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Cost effective<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022Self-supporting (no support structure required)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022Accessible from both sides of the conveyor<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 No sharp edges<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Build-in inspection points available<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022Site specific wind load report available to confirm compliance to Australian Standard<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laskey said the K-AllShelter Capotex conveyor cover was the proven, cost-effective dust suppression solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe K-Shelter Capotex conveyor cover was chosen for its lightweight, high strength and easy to install features. The covers feature a dust-tight seal that prevents dust from escaping and causing problems on site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFuture conveyor maintenance is made simple and hassle free due to the conveyor covers being hinged on both sides and due to the Caposafe Service Prop. The prop holds the cover and lets the maintenance team get access easily.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

K-AllShelter conveyor belt covers are manufactured using a wide range of optional materials and engineered as a waterproof, durable barrier. They can be custom made to suit all belt widths and models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They help to provide durable protection from extreme environmental elements and help to control moisture levels of conveyed materials. Covering the conveyor is also beneficial to operators, improving safety by covering the moving parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laskey said the dust emissions were eliminated following the installation of the covers, as the dust would settle onto the belt instead of becoming airborne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe customer was very happy \u2013 they saw how well it contained dust and decided to continue it to the head pulley. Once they saw how effective it was, they decided to go for the whole length of the conveyor,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a classic example of how Kinder Australia works to find the right solution for a site. Our team looked at one part of the system, got that right, then moved to another. It\u2019s not about isolating the symptom \u2013 we want to rectify the problem itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re a solutions-based company with a large engineering base. Kinder is always working on new ways of solving problems that work best for each site.\u201d \u2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n
