ANACONDA, CURITIBA

In 2005, the DustControl was installed in a receiving pit in the middle of the city of Curitiba, bringing relief to the community and the workers.

The Wings DustControl is a system enhancing the quality of air around industrial receiving hoppers by keeping the dust together with the product being receiving and releasing clean air into the atmosphere.

The DustControl is a 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 Anaconda, Brazil installed the Wings DustControl!
