The Wings DustControl is much more effective than baffles. The DustControl uses the product as the filter…air only leaves the hopper by passing through chutes full of the product. This slows the speed of the air being expelled and the air drops the dust as it passes through the product. The air leaves the pit dust-free.

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 C.Vale Brazil installed the Wings DustControl! in its grain receiving pits!
