The process
Crushers, screens, conveyor transfer points and bunkers raise coal dust that is extracted into bag filters. Spark resistant fans on the clean side, with dust suppression and extraction designed together.
The gas
Extraction air from coal crushing and handling. Combustible dust, so spark resistant construction throughout, with the fan after the collector.
Selection for this process
