Networking at Minexpo

ScrapeTec – in conjunction with distributors, BLT WORLD Inc – participated at the recent MINExpo, held recently in Las Vegas.

This prestigious mining event – the world’s largest mining show – is the perfect platform for players in the mining sector to network, showcase new products and share the latest technologies and trends in the industry,” explains Thortsen Koth, ScrapeTec – manufacturers of advanced equipment, designed for the efficient control of dust and material spills during conveyor handling. The ScrapeTec and BLT WORLD team was proud to participate at this interactive event and to introduce our advanced dust suppression equipment to mining specialists.

Companies across the globe are continually looking for more efficient, dependable systems to alleviate problems associated with dust generation and belt spillage, caused by misalignment of conveyor belts. Common difficulties include dust, spills and contamination at the transfer points of conveyor systems. Misalignment, abrasion and subsequent belt damage are other problems industry faces.

ScrapeTec dust suppression systems have been developed to mitigate these dust-related issues and to reduce material spills, achieving significant cost savings, reduced energy consumption, improved environmental protection and a safer workplace. In addition to substantial operational efficiency, there is no longer the need for conventional dust collectors that demand high energy comsumption.

Apart from the benefit of cost savings and minimal energy consumption, DustScrape and AirScrape dust suppression systems are highly effective in minimising exposure of workers to environmental pollution, which is a major problem caused by fugitive dust in dry bulk handling.

ScrapeTec systems will go a long way to assist operators in the mining industry who need to prepare for the US Department of Labor Mine Safety and Health Administration’s (MSHA) new silica dust regulations. The new silica rules will require aggregates, sand and gravel mine operators to conduct exposure monitoring for crystalline silica, dust sampling and medical surveillance.

Although the compliance date for the rule is only in April 2026, we believe it is critical that operators begin preparations now, so they are fully compliant when the new regulations become effective. Our highly experienced specialists offer dependable solutions for specific problems at the transfer points of conveyor systems in many industries, where dust and material spillage are concerns.
