Carbon & Mineral Dust Ducting
Carbon and mineral dust generated from production, processing, and handling operations present health and safety hazards in industrial environments. These super-fine contaminants are easily introduced into airstreams and challenging to control due to their extremely fine nature and tendency to become airborne during material handling.
Carbon black from manufacturing and metalworking applications and mineral dust from mining and processing operations pose significant respiratory risks when inhaled. Exposure to these contaminants mainly occurs in workplace environments where employees breathe contaminated air.
Carbon dust can irritate the throat, eyes, and nose, with long-term exposure to high volumes increasing cancer risks, while mineral dust from mining operations poses additional silica exposure risks.
These fine particles settle on equipment and surfaces, creating potential slip hazards and equipment malfunctions. The super-fine nature of carbon black makes it particularly challenging to contain because it easily disperses.
Industrial dust collection systems capture these contaminants using ductwork mounted on production equipment, conveyors, and processing machinery. The captured airstream moves contaminated air into dust collectors where it's cleaned and returned to the workplace or exhausted away from the facility.
Nordfab® Quick-Fit® ducting offers solutions for mineral and carbon dust collection across concrete batch plants, mining facilities, carbon producers, and ceramic manufacturers. Nordfab® is designed to withstand high air pressure while minimizing air resistance and reducing static pressure loss.
QF® ducting's leak-free, clamp-together construction prevents fine particles from escaping back into the workspace, maintaining system efficiency and worker safety. The modular design allows for custom inlet and outlet transitions that perfectly match dust collectors and process equipment.
