Cement industry

Dust and fume extraction systems to reduce emissions, minimize health hazards and ensure efficiency in cement plants.

Introduction to dust and fume control for the cement industry

Cement production is characterized by complex processes with challenges related to dust control. Whether these dust emissions are light-weight and fine, or hard and abrasive, they can have a harmful impact on the employees’ health, production and the environment.
Coral USA extraction and collection systems can help you control dust and fume emissions in your plant, minimizing both risks and costs, and maximizing efficiency.

Challenges with cement dust and fume emissions

Traditionally the emission of dust, particularly from kiln stacks, has been a significant concern in relation to manufacturing of cement. The main sources of dust are kilns, raw mills, clinker coolers and cement mills. In all these processes large volumes of gases are flowing through dusty materials.
Also, dust emissions can arise during the storage and handling of materials and solid fuels, as well as from the conveying systems used to move cement and other bulk materials around.
If fine, this dust can be easily inhaled by your workers, causing long term health issues, such as lung cancer, pulmonary diseases, asthma, progressive massive fibrosis.
While the exposure to heavy and abrasive dust can lead to lungs, throat, nose and eyes irritation.
In both cases, depending on the composition, cement dust can be very toxic, affecting nervous system, development and reproduction.

Coral USA solutions for cement processing dust

The variety of dust types and processes in the cement industry is quite a challenge when looking for the perfect extraction and filtration solution for dust control. This is why Coral USA products can be tailored on your needs and requirements.
Our stationary systems with cartridge filters are designed to meet the demand of heavy-duty applications: high workload, great quantity of airflow and pollutants. Do you have to handle more abrasive and aggressive dust, chips and particles? Coral USA stationary systems with sleeve filters are the ideal solution for a clean workplace, avoiding clogging and reducing maintenance.
In addition, all our stationary units are modular and customizable with several accessories, according to the air-flow and type of pollutants.
