REMOVING DUST IN CEMENT PLANTS

• When working in a cement plant, processing dust is a constant issue.  Mixing product, filling bags and containers, and operating conveyors, somehow a cloud of dust and fumes always seems to appear.  Some activities cause more than others, but controlling all types and causes of those contaminants is a key need of any cement plant. Air Cleaning Blowers, LLC can help remove dust in cement plants.

• The Air Cleaning Blower^TM (ACB) was developed specifically to remove dust, pollen and other particles from the air in dusty and corrosive environments while eliminating the need for constant maintenance due to clogging filters. After removing most kinds of dusts caused by operations, without using any filter elements or media, the ACBs blow out clean air to your application.

COMMON APPLICATIONS

• Pressurizing and/or ventilating with clean air electrical enclosures, motor control centers, transformers, and switchgear to keep out dust.

• Pressurizing offices with clean air to keep out dust

• Ventilating data centers to reduce use of air conditioning

• Removing Dust in Cement Plants

• Ventilating and pressurizing operators’ cabins on equipment and elsewhere

• Removing dust in the air for employees to breathe easier

• Controlling dust at silos used for road and other heavy construction

• Supplying air compressors with clean air

• Controlling dust at loading points for trucks, rail cars and ships

• Supplying clean air for control stations in rock-processing domes

• Controlling dust in limestone mines and quarries

HOW DOES IT WORK?

• The Air Cleaning Blower^TM operates by drawing in dirty air like a conventional fan. Inside its housing, a patented impeller spins the air in a unique manner, separating dust and particles using their momentum. Debris is ejected back into its source, such as a conveyor loading a silo, preventing dust from escaping. Clean air is then blown out where needed.
• Unlike filters that clog and require frequent replacement, the ACB doesn’t use any filter elements, ensuring constant airflow and energy efficiency without maintenance. This makes it ideal for various applications, including ventilating, pressurizing, and supplying air to equipment like compressors and evaporative coolers.

RAIN, MIST & SNOW

• The ACBs also excel at removing rain, mist, and snow from the air, reducing moisture load on air conditioning and refrigeration systems. This feature is particularly beneficial in cement plants where maintaining dry cement and limestone is crucial. Additionally, since there are no filter media to catch precipitation, there’s no risk of components becoming wet or freezing up, ensuring uninterrupted airflow.
• Independently tested by a renowned filter-testing laboratory, ACBs have been proven to remove over 98% of dust and particles from the air. They effectively eliminate particles larger than 10 microns and about 40% of smaller particles down to 3 microns, surpassing the effectiveness of typical air-conditioning systems. Originally designed for harsh industrial environments like steel, mining, and fertilizer plants, ACBs are now widely used in various industries, including cement plants, ensuring efficient dust removal regardless of the operational environment. Notably, they are even employed by the US Military in the Middle East to maintain cooling systems during sandstorms.
