Independent study confirms AirScrape reduces dust emissions

A comparative measurement by IFG and BG RCI confirms that the contact-free AirScrape sealing system significantly reduces dust emissions and workplace exposure compared to conventional side sealing systems.

Severe dust challenges in potassium sulfate handling

A production site in the chemical industry faced considerable challenges caused by dust emissions in conveyor transfer areas. In particular, the handling of fine potassium sulfate resulted in elevated dust exposure within the working environment. To objectively evaluate potential optimization measures, a comparative emission measurement was carried out under real operating conditions. The objective was to reliably quantify the effectiveness of different sealing systems and establish a sound basis for decision-making.

Independent field testing under real operating conditions

The investigation was conducted by independent specialized institutions — the Institute for Hazardous Substance Research (IFG) and the German Social Accident Insurance Institution for the Raw Materials and Chemical Industry (BG RCI) — to ensure a neutral and technically sound assessment. As part of a comparative measurement, two different sealing systems were evaluated under real operating conditions: a conventional contact-based side sealing system and the contact-free conveyor belt sealing system AirScrape.

Standardized testing methods verify performance

The measurements were performed directly at the installation under comparable operating conditions. The aim was to quantitatively record dust emissions in the working area and objectively compare the effectiveness of both systems. The testing procedure was based on established methods for determining workplace dust exposure and complied with applicable occupational hygiene standards.

Company information

Scrapetec International GmbH
Scrapetec International GmbH
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.

AirScrape, now in operation in the big Mines in Australia.
Latest Conveyor Technology Innovation in Western Australia: ScrapeTec and KINDER Join Forces for Cleaner, Safer, More Profitable Belt Operations Western Australia represents industrial scale like few other regions. In the iron ore districts of the Pilbara, as well as in gold and lithium operations and port and handling facilities, conveyor systems run around the clock—across kilometre-long routes, in harsh climatic conditions, and at very high throughputs. At this magnitude, conveyor performance is no longer only about productivity; it is increasingly about compliance, safety, and the industry’s social licence to operate. Operator requirements have shifted noticeably in recent years. In addition to availability and tonnage, occupational safety, environmental regulations, dust management, emissions reduction, and sustainable plant operation have moved to the centre of attention. This is precisely where a new distribution partnership targets the Australian market for sealing systems and dust control in conveying: ScrapeTec in Germany and the KINDER Group in Australia. Under the partnership, KINDER assumes…

AirScrape Sealing System for Mechanically Spliced Belts The contact-free AirScrape conveyor skirting system is fully compatible with mechanical belt fasteners, providing effective dust reduction and spillage control without risking interference or frictional wear at the joints.
AirScrape Sealing System for Mechanically Spliced Belts
The contact-free AirScrape conveyor skirting system is fully compatible with mechanical belt fasteners, providing effective dust reduction and spillage control without risking interference or frictional wear at the joints. AirScrape® is a contact-free conveyor skirting system that reduces dust emissions and material spillage at transfer points by creating an air-suction Venturi sealing effect above the belt. Its suspended lamella design directs ambient air toward the belt center, containing fine airborne dust and returning coarse particles to the running line — all without touching the belt surface, which prevents frictional wear and extends belt life. And you work at a dust- and maintenance free conveyor transfer point. Compatibility with mechanical fasteners Mechanical fasteners (hinged or plate-style) are commonly used where belts must be joined quickly or where belt thickness or site conditions make vulcanized splices impractical; they are installed with staples, bolts, or rivets and form a load-bearing joint across the belt carcass. AirScrape integrates easily with mechanically-spliced belts because it is mounted above the belt and does not require contact with the belt surface,…

Successful Trade Fair Appearance at SOLIDS Dortmund 2026
Scrapetec demonstrates how a simple yet intelligent solution can effectively tackle the issue of dust at conveyor transfer points. Numerous references from around the world underline this success We are delighted to look back on a very successful participation at SOLIDS Dortmund 2026. Visitor interest was once again outstanding — even higher than at the previous event. Not only did we welcome many familiar faces, but also numerous new visitors who brought exciting projects and specific challenges to discuss. A main focus at our booth was the topic of dust-free conveyor transfer points — a field where Scrapetec continues to set new standards with innovative solutions. Our technologies AirScrape and DustBox drew particular attention, as both systems effectively and sustainably control dust emissions without contact, maintenance, or energy consumption. The high level of interest and the many promising project inquiries clearly show that our approaches to dust reduction meet the industry’s growing demand for efficiency, safety, and environmental responsibility. We would like to thank all visitors for the inspiring conversations and look forward to…

AirScrape increases the efficiency of your bulk handling plant Dust losses at conveyor transfer points are often underestimated – yet they cost the bulk materials industry millions every year.
AirScrape increases the efficiency of your bulk handling plant
Dust losses at conveyor transfer points are often underestimated – yet they cost the bulk materials industry millions every year. Even a 2% material loss due to dust or spillage can lead to massive economic damage, especially with high-value ores. Contactless sealing systems the AirScrape address this issue directly. Instead of mechanical contact, the system uses controlled airflow to keep fine particles in the process – without wear, without readjustment, without energy consumption and without downtime. The result: * Significantly reduced dust emissions * Higher system availability * Maximum material recovery * Rapid payback – especially for valuable bulk materials Modern conveyor technology proves that efficiency, profitability, and safety go hand in hand.
