Dust control in tripper discharge

Posted in: , on 4. Aug. 2008 - 13:31

Hi, everybody,

We are currently preparing an investment for several dust collecting systems all around our Stockyards. We are thinking on fabric filter sytems, since we have already installed some of them and are working properly.

We are trying to make a preliminary estimation of the required exhaust air flows before sending inquiries.

Regarding transferences from belt conveyor to belt conveyor, I have been searching and I´ve found some information and theoretical phormula in order to make these estimations (following Anderson´s approach).

The point is that, besides standard belt conveyors, we are interested in reducing dust generation in our Stockhouses. These Stockhouses comprise 3 lines of 20 hoppers (each hopper about 10 m high and 6m x 6 m sectional cross area).

Each hopper line is fed by means of a tripper system. Tripper rails run by the centerline of the hoppers and these are open hoppers (not enclosure on top of the hopper).

Trippers Belt conveyor width is 1000 mm and the height of discharge chute (from discharge pully to upper part of the hopper) is approximately 3 m

Conveying rates are around 1000 t/h (depending on the material).

My question is, can you advice me about the exhaust air flowrate that we should consider for each hopper. Are there any phormula or theoretical approach that is more suitable to this kind of configuration?

Thanks a lot for your help

Best regards

The ind. vent has open hoppers at 150 CFM/SF of face opening. keep the minimum duct velocity at 3500 fpm.

Let me know if you need additional help or are in need of filtration equipment.

Thanks,

Dust Control At Tripper Discharge

Posted on 5. Sep. 2008 - 01:39

To have any chance at all with dust extraction in this situation you MUST enclose the top of the bins.

Stop material flow when moving the tripper and position the tripper at a single opening in the bin roof. Match the opening with the discharge chute from the tripper head.

Exhaust from individual bins with a common duct but isolate each with an automatic damper, i.e., only exhaust one bin at a time.

Michael Reid.

To have any kind of control the bin tops should be covered, leaving openings for tripper chute to feed in to the bin. Then the bins can be equipped with individual bin vent filters with exhausters if contemination is a problem, other wise a single filter ducted to each bin with air gates to operate one at a time. You should be very generous with control air volumes, not less the 2000-3000 CFM depending size, configuration and rate of material flow.

An other design approach is to provide control at tripper chute to vent the displacement air rushing out the bin hatch. This can be accomplished by building a shroud type hood around the tripper chute and vent it with a Zipper Duct configuration to a dust control system.

There is now an improved design, low profile, low cost Bin Vent Filters using a new technology called "POWER-CORE" are available in the market. Please contact hsi@wcoil.com or visit www.hawthornesystems.com or cal 419-643-5861 for more information . We will be glad to further advise and provide solutions to your present and/or future dust control problems.

simply oiling the coal with a diluted mineral oil spray at the first transfer point will stop it entirely.
