Enclosed Conveyor Transfer Point Dust Control System - LEFILTER Solution

Product Introduction:

LEFILTER's transfer point solution centers on effective containment paired with targeted extraction. We supply and install custom-fabricated, sealed dust enclosures around conveyor head pulleys, tail sections, and impact zones. These enclosures are built from durable galvanized steel and feature wear-resistant skirting and sealing systems to minimize dust escape. Integrated into each enclosure is a dedicated extraction point connected to a centralized or local cartridge dust collector. The collector is sized for the specific volume and uses high-permeability filter cartridges capable of handling the often coarse but high-volume dust load. The system is automated, starting and stopping with the conveyor belt to save energy.

Application Area:

This system is critical at every transfer point in a mining or bulk handling operation, from the crusher discharge to the stockpile feed conveyor. As material falls from one belt to another, it entrains air and releases fugitive dust. This is a primary source of continuous dust generation throughout a plant. Uncontrolled, it leads to massive material loss, creates hazardous buildup along walkways and structures (a fire and collapse risk), increases cleanup costs, and degrades the working environment for all personnel in the area. Each unmanaged transfer point acts as a persistent pollutant source.

Our Solution:

LEFILTER's engineering approach focuses on containment first, extraction second. We design enclosures that physically contain the dust plume at the point of generation. Our extraction system then draws a controlled airflow through the enclosure, creating a slight negative pressure that prevents dust from leaking out through gaps. The extracted air is cleaned through a reliable filter before being exhausted or recirculated. We pay special attention to maintenance access doors and inspection windows to ensure the system can be easily serviced. For long conveyor galleries, we design centralized collection systems with balanced ductwork. This solution dramatically reduces visible dust emissions, reclaims valuable product, improves safety by eliminating slippery accumulations, and significantly cuts housekeeping labor and costs.
