Low-dust loading with maximum safety and efficiency
Dust generation during the loading of bulk products results in product loss, safety risks, and additional cleaning and maintenance costs. With Vlint's Dust Reduction Hopper (DSH), you address this issue at the source. This innovative system reduces dust emissions by up to 85%, limits product loss, and ensures a cleaner, more efficient working environment. Perfect for the bulk and powder processing industry.
The Dust Reduction Hopper from Vlint is a mechanical loading system that removes air from bulk products and significantly limits dust formation. By concentrating the product flow into a compact stream, valuable product is retained and a safer and cleaner work process is created.
During loading, a lot of air usually escapes from the product, causing dust clouds. The Dust Reduction Hopper removes this air in a controlled manner, allowing the material to be loaded as a compact stream. This provides you with immediate benefits:
This animation shows how the Dust Reduction Hopper removes air from the product and loads material as a compact, dust-free stream.

In many cases, yes. The Dust Reduction Hopper works best with dry, granular, and free-flowing products. Each hopper is customized to suit your product and situation. We consider factors such as the product type, bulk density, flow rate, and location. This ensures a safe and efficient loading process.
The hopper is available in various designs, sizes, and materials, such as polyethylene, corten steel, Hardox, and stainless steel. The loading capacity ranges from 50 tons per hour to over 2,000 tons per hour.
The Dust Reduction Hopper is less suitable for very fine powders, sticky or tacky products, fibrous materials, or products prone to heavy clumping. In these cases, Vlint is happy to help you explore alternative solutions or process adjustments.
De Dust Reduction Hopper kan eenvoudig worden geïntegreerd in bestaande laadinstallaties, zonder elektriciteit, hydrauliek of pneumatica. Indien nodig verzorgt Vlint de installatie om te waarborgen dat het systeem optimaal presteert.
De Dust Reduction Hopper werkt met scheepslading, transportbanden, schroef- en aeratieconveyors, hoppers en silo’s. En is geschikt voor feed controls zoals Clam Shell Gates, Slide Gates en Rotary Valves.
Vlint tests your product, process, and environment and provides a personalized and well-founded advice. This way, you can be sure that the solution works optimally.
