Cement Dust Control.
Can you post a sketch of the screw conveyor and the equipment which it delivers the product to (presumably a belt conveyor transfer)? This will give a better understanding of the process and make suggested solutions easier.

Cement Dust Control
Gord,
The pictures you posted do not explain the problem. There seems to be a rotary valve but there is no explaination of how the system works. Does the rotary valve come before or after the screw conveyor? Please provide a sketch which shows the equipment in sequence and the material flow.

Re: Dust Cement Control
Gord,
From your description, it seems that the screw is U shaped, it does not have a cover, and is creating dust because it is running at a fast speed. You could reduce dust by 1) installing a cover plate on the top of the screw conveyor, and 2) by reducing the screw speed if a lower feed-out rate is acceptable.
If my understanding of your design is wrong, you may like to describe the design in more detail.

Dust Cement control
Hello everyone.
I would like to know some ideas about dust cement control. In other words I am working in a cement plant in which pulls out the cement with a open screw fron the silos. The screw has 12ft long and the dust that it makes when is working is not acceptable or un-safetly for my employees. So, the question is do you have any idea how can I cover this screw feeder in order to avoid excess of dust? The screw is installed underground in other words in a concrete hole.
Thank you ■
