Dust collector with screw conveyor for automatic dust handling

A dust collector with screw discharge offers a highly efficient way to handle collected dust without constant manual intervention. In this configuration, the dust filter is equipped with a screw conveyor at its hopper section, which continuously moves the separated dust to a silo, big bag station or container. Siloma specializes in integrating screw conveyors into dust collector systems to provide fully automated dust handling.

The screw conveyor runs inside a closed trough, preventing dust from escaping into the plant environment. This not only improves cleanliness but also contributes to a safer workplace by reducing airborne dust exposure. The speed and capacity of the screw are carefully matched to the dust collector output, ensuring a stable and reliable discharge.

When designing a dust collector with screw, Siloma considers:

• Dust load and particle size
  
  

• Required discharge rate and operating mode
  
  

• Distance and height to the receiving point
  
  

• Wear characteristics and necessary material selections
  
  

By combining dust collector and screw conveyor in a single engineered package, installation time is reduced and the overall system footprint is optimized. Maintenance is simplified thanks to accessible inspection covers and standardized components.

The benefits of a dust collector with screw discharge include:

• Automated dust removal from the filter hopper
  
  

• Minimal manual handling and lower labour requirements
  
  

• Reduced dust spillage and housekeeping
  
  

• Consistent material flow to downstream equipment
  
  

Siloma’s integrated approach ensures that each dust collector with screw solution works seamlessly with silos, valves and control systems, delivering a complete and robust dust handling line.
