The unloading of bulk materials from trucks, railcars, barges, ships or stockpiles is fraught with health, safety and environmental issues. Dust emissions in bulk unloading terminals can lead to respiration problems for employees, cause hazards in the workplace, propagate a potentially explosive atmosphere, and contaminate local waterways and neighborhoods. The Wings DustControl is the most cost effective system to control dust emission in these receiving pits.

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.  .  That is why Cargill Três Lagoas, Brazil installed the Wings DustControl!
