How Scrapetec Can Enhance Compliance and Worker Safety Introduction In the mining industry, ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations is paramount to protect workers from potential hazards. One such regulation that has garnered significant attention is the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) Silicat Rule. This rule aims to mitigate the health risks associated with exposure to respirable crystalline silica, a common hazard in mining operations. In this article, we will explore the key provisions of the MSHA Silicat Rule and discuss how Scrapetec’s innovative solutions can assist mining operators in achieving compliance and enhancing worker safety. The final rule will take effect on June 17, 2024. Understanding the MSHA Silicat Rule The MSHA Silicat Rule establishes permissible exposure limits (PELs) for respirable crystalline silica to reduce miners’ exposure to harmful levels of silica dust. It requires mining operators to implement engineering controls, work practices, and respiratory protection

In the dusty world of industrial mines, workers battled daily against a brutal and visible enemy: dust. It was everywhere, on machines, in the air, and on their skin. It made work not just unpleasant, but dangerous, as dust can lead to serious health issues. Then, one day, a team of heroes known as the DustAvenger arrived at the mine. They brought with them a mysterious weapon, the AirScrape – a contactless side seal from Scrapetec. With their help, they installed the AirScrape along the conveyor belts. Suddenly, as if by magic, the dust began to disappear. The air cleared, machines ran smoother, and the workers’ faces brightened. The DustAvenger had managed to control the dust sustainably. They were hailed as heroes who not only improved working conditions but also protected the workers’ health and well-being. And so, the AirScrape became a legend in the mines, a symbol of innovation and safety. And if you walk the corridors of the mine today, you’ll

ScrapeTec presents the future of belt guidance: The sugar industry faces constant challenges when it comes to the non friction operation of conveyor belts. ScrapeTec Trading GmbH has tackled this problem and proudly shows its PrimeTracker, an innovative solution for the efficient intelligent belt tracker of conveyor belts. 360 degree free movement for filigree working methods An outstanding feature of the PrimeTracker is its 360-degree freedom of movement, which enables it to work with extreme precision. No matter in which direction the conveyor belt runs, the PrimeTracker immediately works against it to ensure precise steering. This design uses a flexible centre bearing in the middle pivot point instead of a fixed axis at 45°. This allows a completely free 360° movement around the centre of the tracker, creating a special design. The steering of the roller is activated by additional mass on one side of the roller, which pulls the roller drum forwards and downwards and steers the belt back to the centre. Versatile application on reversible belts The PrimeTracker has a huge advantage: it can be used on reversible

Scrapetec specialists work continuously on solutions for addressing specific challenges at conveyor system transfer points in industries where dust and material spillage are significant concerns. This encompasses sectors such as mining and quarrying. The risk of explosions caused by dust emissions on conveyor belts is an ongoing problem that engineers around the world are trying to prevent. ScrapeTec experts developed a new dust control system about five years ago, that is proving to be highly effective – not only for preventing dust formation and material spill, but also to minimise the risk of explosion at critical sections along the conveyor route and transfer points and for more efficient belt-cleaning. ScrapeTec products – which are engineered in Germany to pristine quality and environmental standards – are proving to offer even greater operational cost savings in materials handling, than anticipated at the launch of the range. Apart from the benefit of cost savings, DustScrape and AirScrape dust suppression systems are highly effective in minimising exposure of workers to environmental pollution, which is a major problem caused by fugitive dust in dry bulk handling. Although conventional dust

ScrapeTec, a leading manufacturer of innovative solutions for dust and spillage control in industrial plants, recently embarked on a successful journey to Kazakhstan. Collaborating with their new partner, Flowenergy, projects have been implemented directly, and new projects are in the planning stage. The issue of dust and spillage at conveyor transfer points is highly relevant in Kazakhstan as well, making ScrapeTec’s products indispensable in this region. Kazakhstan, being a resource-rich country, is experiencing continuous industrial development, particularly in the mining and cement production sectors. During their stay in Kazakhstan, ScrapeTec’s experts have planned promising projects that offer new opportunities for ScrapeTec, as their products can make a significant contribution to addressing challenges such as dust generation and material spillage. Flowenergy: Innovations for a sustainable future ScrapeTec has recognized that collaborating with partners committed to sustainable technologies is crucial for long-term success.

ScrapeTec work closely with customers in various industries to address dust emissions,material spillage, conveyor belt damage, preventing production downtime, expensive repairs, and hazardous accidents, as seen in a recent project where a cement industry. In a recent project, a cement production plant needed assistance with excessive dust emissions during the handling of clinker, sand and gravel, that were causing Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) issues. In addition, the operator faced the problems of costly material spillage and the need for ongoing conveyor belt repairs. A comprehensive site inspection revealed that a standard chute sealing system was used in conjunction with a basic clamping system positioned outside the chute. The existing skirting system and lack of inner skirting failed to contain excessive dust emission and material spillage at the transfer points. High dust levels resulted in poor visibility of the 70-metre-long conveyor tunnel, which negatively affected the maintenance team’s ability to monitor efficiencies during the ship unloading process and to prevent bottlenecks in the production process. “Apart from concerns about safety and environmental hazards, management needed to find

We are pleased to present our latest video showcasing our comprehensive product range. Join us on this visual journey and learn more about the innovative solutions our company offers. From our main product, the innovative AirScrape, a contactless skirting The AirScrape and DustScrape are innovative solutions by ScrapeTec that are successfully utilized worldwide. With over 2000 references, these products have proven to be highly powerful. The AirScrape offers a variety of strengths and advantages. It effectively reduces dust and spillage, regardless of the materials used. Whether it’s fine particles or coarse bulk materials, the AirScrape tackles every challenge. Its specially designed sealing technology ensures that dust and spillage are retained at the source and do not spread throughout the entire conveying process. This leads to improved cleanliness, reduced environmental impact, and increased workplace safety. The DustScrape is another outstanding solution by ScrapeTec, designed to combat dust problems and excessive pressure during transfer. It serves as a cost-effective alternative to expensive dedusting systems. Whether dealing with sensitive materials prone to dusting or abrasive materials that can cause

Effective dust suppression systems by ScrapeTec enhance safety and efficiency in grain transportation. The new ScrapeTec dust suppression systems have been successfully installed at an Australian grain storage and ship loading facility. The new systems reduce dust and spillage significantly, improving working conditions and reducing maintenance costs. Contact-free The systems - comprising FRAS AirScrape and FRAS TailScrape technologies - maintain a contact-free position over the conveyor belt, reducing wear and extending the service life of the belt. They´ve also added a tail Dustbox with Stainless Steel filter cloth and three boxes after the transfer point, which have helped in reducing air pressure and confining dust inside the box. The reduction of dust and spillage mitigates explosion risks and enhances safety. Global availability ScrapeTec, with over 30 years experience in the global bulk handling sector, has developed these advanced solutions for use in a wide range of industries dealing with difficult bulk materials. Studies indicate minimal wear even

Operators of bulk material handling systems are always looking for solutions to ensure the safety of their systems and employees and to minimize the risk of explosions. Of course, the non-contact side and rear seals from ScrapeTec only work perfectly if the distance to the conveyor belt remains constant. Other solutions ensure this: The SureSupport, for example, stabilizes the belt exactly where the bulk material hits the transfer point and deformations can occur under heavy weight loads. And the PrimeTracker, the conveyor belt tracking assistant, mounted on the lower returning belt, controls and regulates the even belt run and thus also the belt overhang to the AirScrape seal. This described interaction of the innovative ScrapeTec products is defined by the manufacturer as a dust protection solution.”Transferpoint of conveyor systems are real ”dust emitters”, which pose a risk to employees and system safety with their enormous dust emissions,” says founder and owner Wilfried Dünnwald, who is responsible for the development of ScrapeTec products. ”My years of working underground as a mining engineer motivated me to develop

Main role for intelligent belt tracker: E-PrimeTracker is to prove itself in the test. ScrapeTec from Kamp-Lintfort presented its E-PrimeTracker to the world public for the first time at the last bauma. The intelligent belt tracker is equipped with sensors that record the belt running situation, belt speed and much more and can transmit this data to control systems for monitoring. This makes predictive maintenance possible, which can prevent damage, misalignment and even downtime on the belt. A well-known German company has now agreed for the first time with ScrapeTec to install an E-PrimeTracker system on a critical conveyor belt, where the belt repeatedly moves, but the causes cannot be verified. The E-PrimeTracker should help here. In a timed test phase, it is checked whether the ScrapeTec solution can meet the customer requirements and can guarantee an uninterrupted belt run. With the new E-PrimeTracker, ScrapeTec specifically addresses the need for predictive maintenance. So far, the developers from Kamp-Lintfort have been using their AirScrape dust protection solution, the non-contact conveyor skirting, in large mines worldwide and are now also gaining

Even before the trade fair, the topic of saving electricity through dust protection solutions from ScrapeTec was already a subject of discussion. The focus was on the DustScrape in combination with the AirScrape. Also at SOLIDS 2023,live. ScrapeTec, the developers of innovative dust protection solutions for transfer points on conveyor systems, were also present at this year’s SOLIDS in Dortmund. On March 29th and 30th, they received a large number of interested visitors at their booth, as they did previously at bauma. The focus this time was on the DustScrape, a filter unit placed in the direction of belt travel in front of the chute, which effectively reduces the otherwise accumulating dust to almost zero when combined with the innovative AirScrape side sealing and the TailScrape rear sealing. ScrapeTec presented a more robust upgrade in box form to the previous tunnel solution clad in filter cloth. This dust protection solution has a previously largely overlooked economic effect: dust extractions at the operating sites can be switched off due to the effectiveness of the solution. In other words, the high energy costs for operating the dust extraction systems can be greatly reduced. The high

At many trade shows, the ScrapeTec team learns a lot about the immense energy costs associated with dust extraction on conveyor systems. These fixed costs are often cited as an argument against investing in innovations for dust protection. The ScrapeTec energy-saving formula: Energy costs for dust removal minus DustScrape The calculation is simple: By investing in a ScrapeTec dust protection solution around the DustScrape at the transfer points of a conveyor system, the entire energy costs of dust extraction can be saved - so they are reduced to zero. This is because the use of the filter module DustScrape and the innovative sealing solutions AirScrape and TailScrape allow the dust extraction to be turned off. The seals work contactlessly with special profiles and thus create the Venturi effect: the air is sucked inwards. Dust does not escape, and the bulk material also remains on the conveyor belt. The DustScrape, with its special and robust filter cloth, captures the dust that arises from the fall energy before transfer/feeding in the direction of the conveyor. The interplay of these components has now proven itself worldwide wherever dust protection solutions have been sought. The argument

ScrapeTec had interesting encounters at this year’s Mining Indaba in Cape Town, the major African trade fair for mining. The tenor: Solutions are being sought to minimize the costs of dust generation and spillage. Save costs: added value of ScrapeTec dust protection solutions For those who didn’t know: South Africa is one of the most important mining countries in the world. The country is not only considered the largest platinum supplier. 30% of the world’s gold production and over 40% of chromium are also extracted there. Added to this is the extraction of a wide variety of important industrial minerals. South Africa also has the largest hard coal deposits in Africa. Overall, the country is considered one of the most important producers of metallic raw materials and industrial minerals. That is why Mining Indaba in Cape Town is the most important mining trade fair in Africa. This year ScrapeTec also visited there. Not to be found in the exhibitor directory, but always in the right place at the trade fair. In many discussions with representatives of large conveyor system operators, it soon became clear that the topic of dust protection has meanwhile also gained in

Easy to install, reliable, controls even for reversible belts New technologies developed have allowed for a much simpler example of a mass imbalance activated tracker. This design uses a flexible coupling in the centre pivot, rather than a fixed axis shaft at 45°. This allows for completely 360° free motion about the centre of the tracker, which has created an inherently reversible design. The steering of the roller is activated by additional mass and friction to one side of the roller, which drags the roller drum forward and steers the belt back to centre. Results in the field have shown there is no downside to this design compared with the fixed axis design, and it has been found that the rubber coupling is a more reliable unit, due to its simplicity and given it is not affected by contamination like a conventional greased bearing.

The AirScrape, the innovative contactless conveyor skirting, is gradually conquering the world. Now also Kazakhstan. Here the story.

The AirScrape from ScrapeTec is used worldwide for dust protection. Also for new projects in the cement industry in Australia. Here’s the story. Growing up Down Under: ScrapeTec with partner Kinder on course for success in the cement industry. In 2017, the AirScrape was presented for the first time at the leading trade fair AIMEX in Australia. In the meantime, many mining companies Down Under have been won over by the innovative side seal for handovers. Also in the cement industry. The Kinder Australia Pty Ltd. is known to be a leading provider of planning and equipment for conveyor systems in the Pacific region. There, the family business looks after a large number of customers from a wide variety of industries. The innovative conveyor skirting developed by ScrapeTec has been an integral part of the product range of partner Kinder in Australia since 2021. More and more customers are opting for the dust protection solution that eliminates dust and thus spillage at the transfer points of the conveyor systems. The AirScrape has also been able to convince in the cement industry. In a previous article we reported

The company, which specialises in optimising belt conveyor systems and is known for its contactless AirScrape skirting for conveyor transfer points. i In theory, belt conveyors in the mining and quarrying industry are ideal “candidates” for implementing concepts of operating condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. The belts run continuously, the environmental conditions are unfavourable (dust, humidity, day/night temperature changes etc.). There are typical irregularities (skewing, dropping) and also characteristic damage patterns (uneven wear, belt cracks etc.). And the need for continuous condition monitoring is also given – after all, in most cases there is no alternative or redundant system that can quickly take over the task of material transport in the event of a belt stop. Desire: practical operating condition monitoring Nevertheless, the solutions for condition monitoring that have been available on the market up to now are, strictly speaking, only partial solutions. The classic is an electromechanical belt-alignment switch with a two-stage signal. If the belt runs off-centre in a defined

A conveyor belt tracker with an integrated predictive monitoring system. At the same time, the misalignment of the conveyor belt is continuously monitored and automatically corrected. Everything OK. at the conveyor belt? In the future, the user will be able to answer this question simply and comprehensively without having to inspect the conveyor system on site. This is made possible by a belt conveyor tracker with integrated sensors, which ScrapeTec - a specialist in optimizing bulk material conveyor systems - developed and presented for the first time at bauma. Basis: The conveyor belt tracker for detecting belt misalignment The basis of the system is the ”PrimeTracker” belt tracker, which detects and automatically compensates for belt misalignment (image 1). Even slight misalignment is immediately recognized due to the non-uniform forces that then act on the roller. The cylinder body then pivots automatically in such a way that the belt is guided back to the centre. This works equally with minor and severe misalignment. In contrast to similar systems, the tracker can move completely freely in a 360 degrees radius during operation and

ScrapeTec presented its innovative dust protection solutions for conveyor technology and the world’s first E-PrimeTracker. The whole world wants to know: ScrapeTec with a new product at bauma 2022 The world’s leading trade fair for construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines, construction vehicles and construction equipment has invited for the 33rd time. And the worldwide professional world came. Also to the booth of ScrapeTec GmbH. The interest in dust protection solutions was high, also in the new E-PrimeTracker. After the success at the POWTECH in Nuremberg in September with over 150 contacts and numerous inquiries, the bauma in Munich followed. For seven days, numerous visitors from the professional world from all over the world were at the ScrapeTec booth, which is part of a joint booth of the Ministry of Economics, Industry, Climate Protection and Energy of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia. Here 10 companies presented the mining competence under the national flag. The inflow at ScrapeTec was also the result of the great response to the LinkedIn activities

E-PrimeTracker 4.0, swivel castors with built-in condition monitoring. Scrapetec presents the first intelligent conveyor belt tracker at the bauma 22 in Munich. “All inclusive”: swivel castors with built-in condition monitoring. Misalignment, cracks, uneven speed: There are various parameters that allow conclusions to be drawn about the “state of health” of a belt conveyor. A new belt conveyor roller allows these and other parameters to be recorded. Sensors are integrated into the roller, which collect and evaluate data on site and send it wireless to the user – an innovation for simplified “condition monitoring” in conveyor systems.

The Powtech in Nuremberg has once again confirmed how important trade fairs are, especially when you have innovative products. This year the trade fairs are concentrated alone in Germany and interest does not stop. First the Solids, then the Powtech and now the bauma in Munich. The demand and interest in our solutions is unbroken, our stand was always very well attended and the discussions were very interesting. The result is many new projects and confirmation that we are on the right track. ”Think out of the box” and bring added value to the customer. And this is what the AIrScrape the new conveyor skirting does, our side seal works without contact to the belt. No contact means no more friction, no wear and tear, no maintenance, no dust and no more spills. A customer from the very beginning asked for the AirScrape again this week. We thought it would be a replacement order after 6 years. No, the first installation still runs like the first day, no dust and no spills. They like to replace more and more conventional skirting with the AIrScrape, the investment is extremely worthwhile. And

Finally transport bulk goods dust-, spill- and maintenance-free. This week you can see ScrapeTec’s solutions against dust and spills at the Powtech in Nurnberg and at the Perumin in Arequipa/Peru. And best of all, they are maintenance-free solutions. And if you’re interested in the latest development, ask about the new E-PrimeTracker. The guide roller, which is now also equipped with a monitoring system, warns the operator of the belt conveyor in good time of problems that could lead to a unschedule breakdown. Everything is moving in the direction of Predictive Maintenance 4.0. Official launch is on the bauma 2022.

ScrapeTec at bauma 2022, World premiere for the E-PrimeTracker: predictive maintenance of conveyor belts, reducing maintenance and increasing service life At bauma, ScrapeTec Trading GmbH, a specialist in the optimization of bulk mate-rial conveyor systems, will be showing a system for the first time that will make the maintenance of belt conveyors much easier and significantly increase their availability and service life: the E-PrimeTracker. As great as the benefits of this system are, its structure is just as simple. The tried-and-tested PrimeTracker is installed on the existing belt system: a guide roller that detects belt misalignment and automatically corrects it. The developers at Scrapetec have integrated robust sensors into this roller, which record central and meaningful characteristic values - for example the belt position, the belt speed and the condition of the belt connection. This world premiere thus creates the prerequisite for continuously and comprehen-sively recognizing and documenting the ”health” of a belt conveyor in the sense of condition monitoring and predictive maintenance - with the

Dust generation and spillage at the conveyor transfer point reduced by 98% How the operator of a cement factory managed to almost completely reduce dust and material losses thanks to the AirScrape® side seal as part of an innovative dust protection system? And what does that mean for profitability and safety/health? Watch the video to see the situation before and after the installation of the AirScrape in combination with Kinder Australia’s K-Belt Support and Seal Containment.

High interest regarding the Scrapetec solutions, especially the PrimeTracker ScrapeTec Trading GmbH from Kamp-Lintfort in Germany proudly accepted the invitation to Israel in July of this year. The new partner there, S.F.I. (Solutions for Industry) had invited. This was not preceded by an enquiry, as is usual, but by an order. S.F.I. had ordered PrimeTracker belt stabilization rollers for their customer ICL - a world-renowned company that is responsible for 35% of the world’s bromine production. ScrapeTec sales manager Thorsten Koth was invited to a tour in Israel after intensive consultations on the order, during which the ICL system of the ”Dead Sea Works” on the Dead Sea was visited, where the ScrapeTec products are already in use. The decision in favor of PrimeTracker is based on the strategy to reduce dust and spillage in the future in order to secure investments in the conveyor systems in the long term. Through several videos on the Internet and reports in worldwide specialist magazines, attention was drawn to the effective and

ScrapeTec: It’s all a question of profitability. ScrapeTec begins its consultation with specific questions that awaken a new awareness of conveyor systems among customers. ScrapeTec Trading trades. Not only with innovative products related to transfers points of conveyor belts, but also solution-oriented. Even when advising customers who do not see any specific problems with their systems and therefore do not see the need for solutions. Does this raise questions as you read? Yes, exactly. Because ScrapeTec confronts many of its customers with specific questions. In most cases, answers cannot be given spontaneously. ScrapeTec helps with its advice. For example with one of these questions: How high is the cost share of the conveyor systems in your company? 40%? Higher? Often there is no cost analysis in this direction. In the past, costs have usually simply been accepted and classified as unavoidable. A joint look at the costs of the past and their categorization helps. It also goes into the details: How much does cleaning the conveyor system cost, for example? What are the main failure criteria of your conveyor systems? And how high

On June 22/23, 2022, Solids will come to Dortmund and with it many new products and surprises. Everything around the conveyor belt transfers, which makes the work easier and safer. Scrapetec Still a young company, but known worldwide. We owe this to our innovation the AirScrape. A non-contact side seal for conveyor belt transfers points that is both non-wearing and requires no maintenance. Once properly installed, this runs for years and keeps the transfers dust and spill free. The large mines in South America caught on relatively quickly and are using Scrapetec’s products more and more. The demand at the last trade fair in Chile surprised us all. But cement, gypsum and power plants worldwide are also recognizing the advantages of wear- and maintenance-free sealing. Cost saving, made simple. With the upcoming Solids, Scrapetec will also take another big step into conveyor belt technology 4.0. Come by and have a look at the newest innovation from Scrapetec. We are waiting for you in hall 4, booth B12.

The first trade show in Chile was a great success for the new contactless skirting for conveyor transfer points. The demand and interest in AirScrape was overwhelming. Nobody had really expected that. The AirScrape is more than well known in Chile and everyone is talking about it. One more reason to take a closer look at the AirScrape and all other innovative Scrapetec products. The AirScrape was explained in detail by Dank Consultores our partner in Chile, appointments on site were made, projects were discussed and even orders were placed. The first installation was at Codelco and the results seem to have spread. Non-contact sealing at conveyor transfers points has advantages that are obvious. Once installed, seal for years and all without maintenance. No contact, no more friction, no more wear, no more maintenance, no more dust, no more spillage and no more downtime.

Dust-, spillage- and maintenance-free conveyor belt skirting. Contact-free and thus frictionless by using a Venturi effect to prevent spillage. Companies whose daily operations include extraction, processing, crushing and screening of materials are familiar with the problems at the transfer points in conveying systems, such as nuisance dust generation, disruptive material spillage, costly belt wear, maintenance work that impedes operation and constant cleaning required. ScrapeTec from Kamp-Lintfort/ Germany with its specific products has been providing effective solutions to all these problems. ScrapeTec products as e.g. AirScrape, DustScrape and TailScrape are applied all over the world individually or in combination – serving as side skirtings or belt skirtings, for example and used by large and small companies. AirScrape: leak free without materials touching ScrapeTec Trading GmbH started with the AirScrape as its first product. The aim of company founder and developer Wilfried Dünnwald in developing this sealing system was to achieve maximum dust reduction at transfer points of bulk material handling

Once the dust settles: Cement plants develop sustainable concepts with Scrapetec innovations for conveyor transfer points. Downtime, cleaning costs, maintenance, wear and tear of materials or health risks for employees - the cost factors relating to the transfer points of conveyor systems are not unknown, but usually go unnoticed. Whether in mining, in the production of gypsum or cement. As a result of the cooperation with ScrapeTec, cement plants in Germany have now increasingly discovered the special sustainable effect of the new conveyor skirting for chutes. Manufacturer ScrapeTec does a kind of persuasion with this innovation. In the first step, usually 1-2 transfer points on the customer’s system are equipped with the new non-contact sidesealing. Then comes the work on the fly. The AirScrape conveyor skirting is convincing at first glance, because of the clean working method without dust, spill and maintenance compared to conventionally equipped transfer points. And after 3 months at the latest, the investment has already paid for itself because of the eliminated cleaning and maintenance

Simple but very effective dust control at your conveyor transfer points. With very little investment highly effective against dust formation. Again and again there is a lot of dust at the conveyor transfer points, even if you have an active dedusting system. The DustScrape works with an open calming zone, which means that the excess air can escape through the filter cloth and the material remains in the system. A small investment with a big impact. And the AirScrape ensures that the sides are permanently sealed, forcing excess air to escape through the filter cloth. Advantages * Prevents Health and Safety issues * Prevents dust emission to surrounding environment * Complies with most new dust prevention guides * Simple installation and easily retrofitted to existing conveyors * Can be custom build to any size conveyor * Durable and maintenance-, contact-, energyfree system * Available in various materials i.e. antistatic * Long lasting dust retention due to its self-cleaning and dust releasing properties * Effectively prevents material from being blown away * Product loss prevention * Compatible

The Chilean partner of ScrapeTec will be presenting the AirScrape, the unique contactless side seal, which is continuously installed over the belt for chute sealing without touching it, at its booth at the "Expomin". Some also define the AirScrape as a conveyor belt seal or conveyor skirting. Regardless of how the area of ​​application is described, the advantages are important: no wear and friction, no maintenance, no dust and no spillage - for years. The way the AirScrape works without contact and the TailScrape rear seal ensure that neither dust nor bulk material can escape through

From dust till none: Rich in ideas and low in dust How an innovative skirting performs extremely clean work at conveyor transfer points A typical problem in gypsum and cement production and a real cost factor: At most transfer points, material spillage and dust generation as well as the wear and tear of conventional sealing solutions cause additional work and long-term additional costs. A simple and effective innovation provide an uncomplicated remedy. With the contactless skirting AirScrape®, the developers at ScrapeTec offer a perfect solution that is convincing more and more customers in practice. The company Rump & Salzmann Gipswerk Uehrde GmbH & Co KG with its dolomite quarry in Uehrde has been one of these customers from the very beginning. Scenario: Transfer from rotor crusher to belt. Uwe Schridde, Operations Manager at Rump & Salzmann in Uehrde, describes the situation at the time as follows: "Especially at this transfer point, we had to struggle regularly with problems relating to dust and material loss. There were material spills in the ton range. The spilled material then had to be removed

Scrapetec presents successful a new tracking system against belt misalignment. New to Scrapetec’s range of conveyor components is the PrimeTracker belt tracker, which eliminates problems associated with conveyor belt systems, including misalignment, abrasion, and belt damage. “For optimum performance of a conveyor system, it is critical that the belt always runs straight on the conveyor, without sideways movement. Our new PrimeTracker belt tracker has been designed to automatically guide a conveyor belt back into the correct straight-line position, to prevent costly downtime and component replacement,” explained Thorsten Koth, sales and distribution for Scrapetec. “An advantage of the Scrapetec PrimeTracker is that it is operates in the idling position at all times, unless there is sideways movement of the belt. This system corrects misalignment immediately by guiding the belt back into the correct position, with no damage or abrasion to the belt or tracker. Perfect for reversible operation. “This is unlike conventional belt trackers

ScrapeTec Trading GmbH started with the AirScrape as its first product. Wilfried

The reasons: Strong interest in AirScrape and more and more orders from South America. The decision was made quickly to offer the website in Spanish as well. After Peru, there is now more and more interest in Scrapetec products coming from Chile. After the second largest copper and molybdenum producer in the world, the Codelco company from Chile, had listed the AirScrape, the first large orders came straight away. CODELCO Chuquicamata is one of the world’s most important copper mines and is now also using the new conveyor skirting, the AirScrape. Codelco was quickly convinced of the advantages of the AirScrape. The new conveyor skirting works without contact and therefore does not wear out. The advantages are obvious, no wear, no maintenance and the function of the conveyor skirting is guaranteed for years.

The possibility to close a conveyor transfer point completely. with the new conveyor skirting TailScrape. The problem with the conveyor belt transfer is known. Even if you get the sides and tail of a transfer point closed, the corners are still totally open. The corner where the side seal does not match the tail seal. The combination of the new AirScrape seal skirting with the TailScrape is the perfect solution for your transfer points. The corners are completely closed and the advantage is that the TailScrape also works without contact to the belt, the seals no longer wear and do not need any maintenance. Perfect conveyor skirting solution for your transfer points. Call us and let us suggest a solution.

The AirScrape is a non-contact concept, meaning no friction, no wear. Transfer points free of dust and spillage, without maintenance. After some mining companies, cement plants and ports had tested the AirScrape, the TailScrape and also the DustScrape for a trial at their conveyor transfers, they now wanted more of that. Non-contact concept The new chute seal impresses with its non-contact concept. Without contact and without friction, the AirScrape conveyor belt seal skirting does not wear out and can thus keep the transfer points free of dust and spillage, without maintenance. The benefits can be seen after just a few weeks, pleasing everyone responsible for the conveyor systems. AirScrape and TailScrape First, the transfer is equipped with the AirScrape and the TailScrape, and then, should dust still escape to the front, the calming zone is extended with the DustScrape. The DustScrape tunnel is completely equipped with a filter cloth and thus only allows the excess air to escape. The fine material remains in the calming zone or on the belt. Deliveries to Indonesia A simple and

With AirScrape, TailScrape, DustScrape and the PrimeTracker, Scrapetec focusses to fight against dust, spill and unnecessary work at the conveyor transfer points. Active with the new products on the market since 2016 and with a small team. These are products that work according to a new concept with the aim of making the conveyor belt transfers free of dust and spillage. All without maintenance. The advantages of the AirScrape, TailScrape, DustScrape and recently also the PrimeTracker get around. There is a lot going on here about word of mouth and recommendations, worldwide. World-wide Once installed, you can quickly see the advantages and the opportunity to save time and money. A chute seal that works without contact to the belt and therefore no longer wears out is unique. There is no continent that is not supplied by ScrapeTec. Of course, the maintenance-free conveyor belt seal is the driving force behind it, but in cooperation with the other products it becomes a complete solution that makes the conveyor belt transfers clean and maintenance-free.

Sensitive correction without any potential for destruction, simple belt centering, the PrimeTracker. Plant operators know it, the annoying belt misalignment, because it is not rare. It occurs almost inevitably when drums and rollers are not well adjusted and aligned, or when they are worn, transverse forces act due to an asymmetrical task of the conveyed material or uneven belt connections are present and have to be compensated. To solve problems with misalignment on conveyor systems, there are numerous variants of different belt guide rollers that aim for the belt to run straight ahead.With this claim, the so-called PrimeTracker is now also being launched in the German market. Developed by the Swedish engineer Bertil Wahren, this special role has recently been part of the sales program of ScrapeTec Trading GmbH at his express request. The partnership is no coincidence, because the experienced technician Wahren and the specialists from ScrapeTec have been in a lively professional exchange for several years. What both sides have in common is that they leave well-known

Longlife Tracking System without maintenance, new PrimeTracker. Scrapetec Trading relies again and again on long-lasting products, which should solve the customer’s problems in the long term and maintenance-free. He shouldn’t waste any more thoughts on the subject of spills and dust, instead there is the well-known non-contact and wear-free "AirScrape" conveyor skirting. And that the belt always arrives perfectly guided at the transfer points, there is now the new maintenance-free tracking system, the PrimeTracker in the Scrapetec portfolio. This is designed in such a way that, compared to the known tracking systems, it serves the customer for years without friction, without wear and without maintenance. The core, the PrimePivotBush of the PrimeTracker is protected with a special sleeve that will last for years even against very aggressive materials. Why hard when it can be so easy.

Why does the PrimeTracker reacts that fast and works without friction and wear? The PrimeTracker looks the same, but works totally different- Works totally flexible, tilt and swing in all directions, that is the reason that the PrimeTracker react and steers faster, has 100% contact with the belt and works friction and wear free. Fast conveyor belt alignment. More infos, please let us know, or just test the PrimeTracker now.

Worldwide practical application experience and here the first installation of the first contact free conveyor belt skirting. Since installation nor friction, no wear, no maintenance, no dust, no spillage. Already in 2012, in response to a specific operator requirement, Wilfried Dünnwald, inventor of this technology, developed the prototype of the AirScrape. The conveyor belt skirting system worked perfectly from the first minute, is still reliably in use today and was ultimately a major factor in the founding of ScrapeTec Trading GmbH. The AirScrape systems installed on plants in various industries now protect about 1,000 belt transfers worldwide. Parallel to the interest in these units, the number of contractual partnerships is also growing. Trained specialists are on the road everywhere to ensure installation and service. Here is one selected example: Germany: The solution was perfectly convincing for the operators of a dolomite processing plant, who regularly had to deal with dust and material losses at the transfer from the rotor crusher to the belt. Material spills in the ton range and enormous dust generation were an annoying standard. In addition, there were

The problem of harmful dust at the conveyor transfer points could be solved convincingly by using the AirScrape. More than 60 conveyor transfer points in that plant were equipped with the AirScrape Spain: A well-known manufacturer of demanding surfaces made of stony material has also chosen the AirScrape in search of a sustainable solution to minimize emissions at belt transfers. First, a transfer point in one of the plants was equipped for test purposes. The measurements during the first test run and in the later process showed a minimization of dust generation of more than 80 % compared to before. The overall advantages in terms of efficiency, occupational safety and protection were so convincing that more than 60 transfer points in the company’s plants were equipped with AirScrape conveyor skirt sealing system. In correlation to the dust reduction, the health-related downtimes of the workforce, previously exposed to massive dust development, were also reduced.

The conveyor belt is one of the most expensive components of belt conveyors. Poor belt alignment leads to excessive wear and inevitably to early replacement, resulting in high replacement costs and short service lives. Minimum wear – long service life The new PrimeTracker works unlike conventional belt alignment systems. Due to its unique design, it acts like a standard conveyor belt roller when the belt runs smoothly and only intervenes when the belt leaves its optimum position. The PrimeTracker responds before the guide roller tilts horizontally. As soon as the conveyor belt runs off-centre, the PrimeTracker corrects the movement with small forces and very low friction, thus preventing unnecessary wear. Effect of the PrimeTracker in case of belt misalignement The specially developed maintenance-free mounting of the PrimeTracker allows a change of the rotating roller‘s axis position in all directions. The rubberized cylinder body can tilt and swing. With soft pressure, it provides continuous guidance over the complete contact surface. The PrimeTracker is physically designed to detect even the slightest deviation in the belt run from the optimum line and to react with the

The last GlobalGypsum Conference confirmed the high interest in the new conveyor skirting system The new conveyor skirting system is getting more and more friends, worldwide and in all industries. The next GlobalCement visual will be beginning of December. If you have interest, please send us a short mail and you will get automatically a link to the registration page for the next GleobalCement.

The new conveyor belt skirting, the AirScrape runs on high performance 12 months now. The mine confirmed and appreciate, the high cost savings and the clean dust free working places at the conveyor belts. A new user, operator of the processing plant of a large mine, had to readjust the conventional conveyor skirting at belt transfer points every 2 weeks and replace them completely every 4 months, causing enormous downtimes and costs of the equivalent of € 240 000 each. The plant managers hoped to stretch these cycles. They discovered the AirScrape at the Perumin 2019 trade fair and decided to test the conveyor skirting at one of the most critical transfers at the highest point of the plant. From there, dust not only trickled into the entire plant, but was also carried by the wind in the direction of the lower situated nearby village. After the test installation of the AirScrape of 10 m per side of the conveyor, the effectiveness was immediately apparent. Only 2 weeks later, the main manager approved a large AirScrape order. In the meantime, elements for 150 m (both sides) have been purchased to convert a total of 5 belt transfers to AirScrape. Furthermore, there are

It looks the same but works totally different. 360 degrees movable, totally free means for you ... The new tracking system is now available. The PrimeTracker works directly against all kinds of mistracking, brings your conveyor belts directly back to the middle. Check the PrimeTracker diameter and you will easily see and understand the difference to the other tracking system and to the advantages of the PrimeTracker. More infos? Please let us know.

No wear, no maintenance for months/years The mining industry in Peru relies entirely on the AirScrape. There is no more wear and tear, dust or spillage. Employees can concentrate on the essentials in a clean environment. See attached video before and after, Health and Safety. In addition, the downtimes could be reduced dramatically. In the past, the conveyor belt skirting had to be readjusted or replaced every 14 days. Thanks to AirScrape, this maintenance work is no longer necessary and the system can run through. It also works for all other bulk handling industries like Cement, Gypsum, Lime, Glass and more. For more infos, send us a mail.

New tracker works directly against misaligned belt New to Scrapetec’s range of conveyor components is the PrimeTracker belt tracker, which eliminates problems associated with conveyor belt systems, including misalignment, abrasion and belt damage. “For optimum performance of a conveyor system, it is critical that the belt always runs straight on the conveyor, without sideways movement. Our new PrimeTracker belt tracker has been designed to automatically guide a conveyor belt back into the correct straight-line position, to prevent costly downtime and component replacement,” explains Thorsten Koth, Sales and Distribution for Scrapetec. “An advantage of the Scrapetec PrimeTracker is that it is operates in the idling position at all times, unless there is sideways movement of the belt. This system corrects misalignment immediately, by guiding the belt back into the correct position, with no damage or abrasion to the belt or tracker. “This is unlike conventional belt trackers that slide over the belt surface

Transfer points now spillage- and dust free With the innovative AirScrape seal skirting, spills and dust at transfer points in conveyor systems and belt damage are a thing of the past. In the minerals and mining industry, contamination of conveyor systems and dust generation during operation are a well-known problem. Conventional conveyor skirting at belt transfer points can help here, but even friction forces quickly wear them out; they lose their effect and also damage the belt of the conveyor during long-term use. This in turn increases the costs for maintenance or replacement. The AirScrape from ScrapeTec Trading Ltd. is quite different. It represents one of the rare innovations in this industrial sector, is virtually maintenance-free, increases the service life of conveyor belts and permanently saves cleaning efforts. Beyond the chute and conveyor belt, the AirScrape ensures more cleanliness. AirScrape. The operating principle is in the name If you see the AirScrape side seal in use, you can quickly

Sustainable solutions The brands of a well-known, international manufacturer stand for sophisticated surfaces made of stone material in kitchens, bathrooms or on terraces. Searching for a sustainable solution to minimize emission at transferpoints of conveyor systems, the high-quality requirements led the company to the AirScrape® skirting from Germany. The people responsible in the company had already heard and read about this special Conveyorskirting from Germany. Especially in a silicate conveying plant in southern Spain, a transfer was to be equipped with it on a test basis. Here the dust development and the strain on the employees were particularly high. Via the partner Masanes that provides the equipment with conveyor technology, contact was established with the manufacturer Scrapetec and the AirScrape® was installed at the selected transfer. The measurements of the dust development during the first test run showed a minimization of over 80 per cent. The customer was enthusiastic,

At mineral processing 01-02/2017 Conventional skirting is pressed against a conveyor belt so that dust and material stays in the middle of the belt when it reaches a belt transfer point. But after a certain time, wear at the skirting and belt can be so severe that material and dust can escape.The result is unnecessary spillage of material and forma- tion of dust.This used to be the case at Rump & Salzmann Gip- swerk Uehrde GmbH & Co. KG, which operates a dolomite quarry in Uehrde. Here, at the transfer from the rotary crusher to the belt conveyor, there were always big problems with dust and material losses. Several tonnes of material spillage had to be removed at this transfer point every three months. Repeated maintenance was required at the transfer point and the belt skirting. Finally, operations manager at Rump & Salzmann, Uwe Schridde, contacted ScrapeTec. Following an assessment of the situation on site, AirScrape was installed (Fig.). AirScrape works according to a completely new principle,

Global Gypsum Magazine 05/2019: Conveying With the innovative AirScrape side seals, spills and dust at transfer points in conveying systems and belt damages are a thing of the past. In the gypsum industry, contamination of conveyor systems and dust generation during operation are a well-known problem. Conventional side seals at belt transfer points can help, but even friction forces quickly wear them out. This causes them to lose their effect and also damage the belt of the conveyor over the long-term. This, in turn, increases the costs of maintenance and/or replacement. The AirScrape from ScrapeTec Trading Ltd. is different and represents a rare innovation in that it increases the service life of conveyor belts, per- manently saves on cleaning costs and is virtually maintenance-free. Beyond the chute and conveyor belt, the AirScrape ensures high levels of cleanliness. Wilfried Dünnwald, developer and manag- ing partner of ScrapeTec Trading, developed the AirScrape in 2013 due to a specific inquiry from a
