GEAPS Exchange 2025: ScrapeTec Sets New Standards in the Grain Industry
The GEAPS Exchange 2025 in Kansas once again served as the central meeting point for professionals in the grain industry. This year, a particularly pressing topic was at the forefront: high dust levels and the associated explosion risk. Conveyor system operators are under significant pressure to optimize their systems in order to minimize safety hazards.
At the trade show, ScrapeTec showcased advanced solutions for dust reduction and operational safety—focusing on the AirScrape®, an innovative and patented contactless side sealing system for transfer points.
The AirScrape® is an innovative solution and plays a key role in conveyor skirt sealing systems. Unlike conventional conveyor belt sealing methods that wear out through direct contact with the belt and fail to effectively contain dust, the AirScrape® operates without contact. Its specially designed blades create a vacuum on the conveyor belt, drawing fine dust particles back into the material flow. This skirt sealing system results in a drastic reduction in dust emissions and material losses. Additionally, it prevents wear and significantly reduces maintenance efforts.
More Safety and Less Maintenance for the Industry
The benefits of the AirScrape® are clear:
✔ 98% less dust emission thanks to effective dust suppression
✔ Minimal material losses through optimized conveyor skirting system and transfer point dust control
✔ Longer conveyor belt life due to wear-free skirting system
At the GEAPS Exchange, ScrapeTec not only presented its solutions but also made valuable new connections, from which exciting projects are expected to arise soon. The positive feedback shows that the demand for solutions with advanced industrial conveyor sealing, such as conveyor skirt sealing systems, is steadily increasing.
With the contactless AirScrape® and other smart solutions, ScrapeTec is setting new standards for efficient and safe conveyor technology. The future of the grain industry is dust-free!
