re and coal materials handling technologies that solve major dust and spillage problems while also boosting
production are being advanced by an Australia-based engineering group as a solution to issues increasingly confronting Australasian and international producers. Chute Technology packages
– employing the best current technologies developed from proven installations in alumina, iron and other mineral ores and coal handling facilities at mines, energy plants and ports – tackle dust problems at their source rather than attempt to control dust after it has been created and dispersed into the atmosphere. T e same technologies can be applied to inlet, hood, chute, spoon,
enclosure and saturation zones to address widespread spillage hazards, with their cost, downtime and safety issues. Chute Technology engineer Dennis Pomfret comments: “Good designs such as these – either new or retrofi tted – demonstrate that environmentally sensitive production need not necessarily come at a cost to output. “In fact, these chute improvement technologies have achieved major increases in production, exceeding 50 and even 80% in some cases, while solving waste and spillage problems. We have unifi ed the best proven technologies that address dust and spillage issues and combined them into problem-solving packages that combine: integrated advanced product fl ow analysis; 3D discrete element method (DEM) design processes;
