BRF – Toledo, Brazil Mechanical DustControl Installed in 2012
The DustControl is part of the BRF program to promote good environmental practices in the food industry. It gives Wings great satisfaction to contribute to this program.
BRF is a major Brazilian multinational in the food industry, producing and processing all types of meat products. Its grain division must meet high standards with an obligation to have minimum impact on the environment.
Baghouse filters are commonly used to control dust emission in bulk receiving pits but common sense will tell you that trying to collect the dust after it has escaped the pit is a near impossible operation. The Wings DustControl system does not let the dust leave the hopper. It is more effective, less expensive, operates manually without electricity and requires no maintenance.
The DustControl is superior to a baffle system for suppressing dust in bulk-product receiving pits. It has been on the market for over 20 years, with more than 250 units installed in Brazil and abroad, and tops the list of equipment in terms of the cost-benefit ratio. The DustControl system is installed under the pit grate and does not take up space on the pit’s surface. It is completely automatic and does not use electrical energy, and, it is maintenance-free. The DustControl system is composed of modules that cover the entire surface area below the pit grate. The modules have small chutes that regulate the flow of the product into the pit to maintain the modules with enough product to filter the exiting dust-laden air. The DustControl controls the dust emission without slowing the unloading process. The DustControl controls the dust emission without slowing the unloading process. That is why BRF Toledo, Brazil installed the Wings DustControl! in its grain receiving pits!
