Sustainability in the Peruvian cement industry thanks to AirScrape

Based on more than 3 decades of know-how in the area of materials handling technology, we have been analyzing critical points in conveyor systems and developing new cost-efficient solutions for improvement and optimization. With this innovation strategy we have been creating unique products like the AirScrape, DustScrape and SpeedScrape. Our new developments are economic and easy to assemble but allow a significant prevention of dust formation, spill and a more careful and efficient belt cleaning at critical sections along the conveyor route and transfer points.

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

”Scrapetec made a successful debut at GEAPS Exchange 2024, the largest grain handling event, where they presented innovative products to address common conveyor belt challenges. The company’s participation resulted in numerous future projects.” The GEAPS Exchange 2024 in Denver was the global center for grain handling this year. This trade fair, the largest and best of its kind worldwide, was attended by 3700 visitors and 1000 companies from a total of 23 nations. A total of 391 exhibitors presented their latest and most innovative products and services. The program was complemented by more than 45 hours of interesting and informative education on the subject of grain handling. One of the exhibitors at this impressive fair was Scrapetec. And it was not just any appearance - it was the company’s first dedicated booth at this important global platform and the debut could not have been better. Together with their partner BLT World, they presented their innovative products and were literally stormed. The response and interest were tremendous. In fact, the brochures, business cards and samples were exhausted on the last day and the team’s voices were hoarse from all the talks and presentations. It was an undeniable

The POWTECH fair in Nuremberg once again proved to be extremely successful. The exhibition offered not only a perfect opportunity to maintain existing networks. It also enabled thepresentation of the latest products. These included highlights such as the DustScrape, a filter unit, which is installed in the direction of conveyor belt as a calming zone after the chute. The DustScrape works in combination with the innovative AirScrape side seal and the TailScrape at the back of the chute. Together, they effectively reduce the dust to almost zero. Another product presented was the E PrimeTracker. This is an intelligent conveyor belt tracker, which is equipped with sensors that can detect belt running situations, belt speed, and much more, and transmit this data to monitoring control systems. The interest in the innovations presented was exceptionally high, and this was reflected in the projects already underway in southern Germany. The trade show was not only national but also international, with customers from Europe, Asia and North America exploring the wide range of solutions and technologies. The POWTECH exhibition in Nuremberg once again confirmed its role as a leading

Efficient Installations and Impressive Results: Scrapetec’s Partnership in Peru ISC Ingeniería del Sur SAC, the partner company of Scrapetec in Peru, achieved an impressive feat. Within 24 hours, they installed 108 meters of AirScrape and 2 DustScrape systems. The next day, they continued their pace and added an additional 56 meters of AirScrape and 3 DustScrape systems in just 16 hours. The results were remarkable, with effective dust control and spillage prevention at the material transfer points. These fast and efficient installations delighted the customer and showcased the excellence of that partnership in the industry. The results were nothing short of extraordinary. The AirScrape and DustScrape systems immediately proved their worth, effectively containing dust and eliminating spillage at the customer’s material transfer points. The improved working environment brought about increased productivity and enhanced safety for the employees. In conclusion, the story of Scrapetec’s partnership in Peru showcases the power of teamwork, expertise,

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
