Dust ext­rac­tion for ele­va­tors

The ele­va­tor dust ext­rac­tion sys­tem is a popu­lar acces­so­ry, which ext­racts dust and keeps the ele­va­tor clean

Dust ext­rac­tion of the ele­va­tor is pos­sible with a con­nec­ting dust vacuum ins­tal­led between the ele­va­tor tubes. The vacuum absorbs fine dust from the ele­va­tor pipes whi­le the ele­va­tor is run­ning. In other words, dust ext­rac­tion and clea­ning are always per­for­med when the ele­va­tor is used.

When proces­sing wet grain, the ele­va­tor vacuum also remo­ves mois­tu­re from the dryer. As the mois­tu­re is ext­rac­ted through the ele­va­tor pipes, the sur­faces of the pipe sys­tem are also clea­red of dust.

Dust ext­rac­tion impro­ves the qua­li­ty of the grain but is also an occu­pa­tio­nal safe­ty issue. The less sur­face dust the­re is, the safer it is to move around. Grain dust in the breat­hing air strains the lungs and sig­ni­ficant­ly affects occu­pa­tio­nal well-being.

Ele­va­tor dust ext­rac­tion:

  • Absorbs fine dust from the ele­va­tor pipes whi­le the ele­va­tor is run­ning.
  • Keeps the ele­va­tor clean.
  • Impro­ves the wor­king envi­ron­ment and occu­pa­tio­nal safe­ty.
  • Reduces the dust load insi­de the dryer.
  • Remo­ves mois­tu­re.
