DUSTEX^® dust suppression systems:

Effectively reduce dust using water

It is widely known that water is fundamentally suitable to reduce dust emissions, which can be plainly seen after a rain shower over typical sources of emission. However, with rain or sprinkler systems the material often becomes soaked and becomes silted. Targeted dust minimisation, on the other hand, means binding as much dust as possible using small quantities of water. This is a major advantage of the VSR DUSTEX^®products: the dust is bound and the material does not become silted.

Of course, bulk material has the basic tendency of forming dust any time it is moved or processed. However, environmental conditions (temperature, air humidity, etc.) and the plant-specific conditions (delivery speed or fall height of the material) also have an effect on the creation of dust and must be factored in.

In other words, the configuration of a water spraying system for dust binding involves more than simply positioning a few nozzles. Our expertise based on years of solving such problems plays an essential role in assuring the effectiveness of spraying system. The effectiveness of dust binding with water depends on a number of factors. With DUSTEX^® systems that are designed and installed by us, it is possible to comply with the current applicable legal specifications in Germany. Dust emissions have been lowered by more than 90% in a wide range of projects in which measurements were conducted. The limit value of 10 mg/m³ of air was safely undercut.

VSR company history

After its founding in 1975, VSR quickly developed into an internationally operating company– partly because our strengths are purposeful advice and problem-solving from the start.

With the VSR BLASTER^® air cannon, we have also developed pioneering technology; the cement industry, in particularly, quickly recognised the potential of this product, which still sets the standard. The company’s leading position has been maintained through continuous, customer-oriented development. However, we are still able to keep spare part compatibility.

In 1988 we faced a new challenge with the DUSTEX^® Dispersion Systems for dedusting: environmental protection. With special nozzle technology and problem-oriented system designs, our systems achieve the highest effectiveness with minimal use of water. Expansion of the product portfolio by water spraying and sprinkling systems and the mobile fog blower make it possible to solve nearly all dust problems. The fact that authorities and government agencies today demand qualified water spraying systems and dispersion systems as the standard of technology in accordance with the German Air Pollution and Control Regulation “TA-Luft”, is due to the pioneering work of VSR. Development continues – a research project under the patronage of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research is currently in progress with the aim to also reduce considerably very fine dust particles.

With optimisation of bulk material conveyor belt transport, the VIBREX^® conveyor belt scrapers, LINEX^® conveyor belt centralizing idlers and CAREX^® segment block system for chute sealing are important tools that have been developed further and proven their worth in a variety of applications over the course of time.

The VIBMATIC^® vibratory stress reduction procedure takes a special position
as the company’s first product; it is this product that gave it´s name to VSR: Vibration Stress Reduction. The process is a true alternative to stress-relief annealing in many respects: internal tension that would result in unacceptable warping during mechanical processing is simply “vibrated away” with the treatment. Handling, energy use and logistics can be minimised, thus creating a significant reduction of production costs. Well-known, large corporations have also taken notice of these advantages that are completed by the extensive, environmental protection. In the current 6th generation of equipment, a modern computer controls the vibration generator; this also enables easy creation of logs and reports for the treatment. A research project was also recently conducted in combination with this product, subsidized by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.
