Fixed, automatically activated misting system
This curtain misting system, which we installed on a trommel screen for the compost sector, has particular and highly customised features.
During our site survey, we identified several dust emission problems. When loading the feed hopper, the loader released the material, raising a cloud of fine dust that spread across the site.
In addition, once the material had been screened and discharged into the bays below, the loaders used to pick up the resulting product generated new dust.
That is why we designed a system that acted on both zones independently at the same time.
On the hopper we installed a misting line with a presence-sensor activation system, so that it is only triggered when needed, that is, only when the loader is present.
A second 'L'-shaped spray line was then constructed to cover the area of the heaps produced by the screen, creating a barrier to obstruct the dust caused by the movement of the material by shovels.
Operational and health benefits of spraying on the screen
Water mist treatment offers real advantages:
Reduction of fine dustprotecting the health of operators
Less odour dispersionespecially in composting processes
Greater visibility of the materialimproving efficiency and safety
Compliance with environmental standardsmitigating the impact on the surrounding area
An effective and simple system to integrate into the compost sieving cycle.
Targeted spraying on the rotating screen in composting
In the compost sieving process, the moving material generates high amounts of dustwhich can leak into the working environment. The installation of a targeted spraying, positioned above the rotating screenIt creates a fine mist that lowers suspended particles, improving visibility and operating conditions.
