The Four C’s of Industrial Dust Collection
The impact of dust and mist in the workplace is significant. Dust and mist contaminants can be detrimental to the health of your employees, harmful to the environment, and damaging to your facility and equipment. The implementation of an effective industrial dust and mist collection solution is critical to the well-being of your workers, as well as the productivity and profitability of your business.industrial dust removal equipment
The primary objective in dust and mist collection applications is to capture 100 percent of the pollutant while using a minimal amount of ambient air to draw in the pollutant. Factors such as facility layout, room pressure, cross drafts, process set-up, and worker access can all complicate the capture of dust and mist. The size of the dust collector, duct diameter, and system horse-power can all vary depending on the amount of air that must be drawn to capture the pollutants.
Hoods provide an effective means for capturing contaminated air from free standing dust sources as well as areas that cannot be contained within an enclosure.
Containing dust and mist sources can be accomplished with enclosures. These are structures designed for specific spaces and processes to keep polluted dust and mist within a controlled area. The use of enclosures is not always possible in every application, but when enclosures can be used they are highly effective and also facilitate easier clean up and management of spillage.
In an enclosure system, air is drawn into the enclosure space by a dust collection system. Air velocity is used to contain dust contaminants. This can be done continuously or intermittently with the opening of the access doors.In the dust control process, captured and collected dust must be conveyed to a specific point for collection. This happens within the duct work system. Dust and mist laden air travels through the duct system to the collection area and then the air is discharged from the building or sometimes recirculated after going through an after filter. The velocities used to convey the dust vary depending upon the process and pollutants involved.
Within the ductwork, issues can arise wherever the direction of the airflow changes. This may happen at joints or elbows, where the airflow resists the change of direction, resulting in dust build up within the duct. The smoother the interior of the duct surface, the more it will resist the formation of dust accumulation. Duct cleaning is necessary to keep the conveying velocity within the desired range.

UK-based additive and masterbatch manufacturer color master batch formula has been granted a new patent for formulation improvements made to PVCu polymer specific colouring system, Vynacol.
The company announced 10 July that the patent covers the refinements made to the formulation technology for the masterbatch, which comes both in granular form, for dry blend processing, or in prill, for pre-compounded PVCu.
“This [optimised masterbatch]… offers significantly improved melt rheology control for consistent processing of more highly loaded formulations,” explained Tony Gaukroger, director, Colour Tone.
According to Guakroger, the improved formulation, available in both granular and prill formats, can ultimately increase the quality of the PVCu product.
Vynacol was originally developed to solve historic compatibility and processing problems with adding colour concentrates to PVCu. The masterbatch is claimed to make rigid and flexible PVC as easy to colour as any other polymer.
Colour Tone maintains that Vynacol is suitable for injection moulding, extrusion and blow moulding and provides “brilliant, vibrant colours, special effects and a superior finish”. Vynacol can also be customised to feature functional additives, including heat reflecting infrared pigments, UV protection and antistatic qualities.
Prior to Vynacol, colour was added to PVCu by using liquid colours, wax dispersions, universal and flexible PVC based masterbatches. All those colouring systems introduced additives into the PVCu, which could make the processing difficult.

Color masterbatch is a mixture of pigments or additives which are compressed during heat process into a carrier resin. Then the mixture is cooled and cut into granular shape. Masterbatch is solid additive which is processed to color raw polymer during plastic manufacturing process. Standard color masterbatch was the second largest market in 2015, valued at USD XX million in 2015, it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.91%.masterbatch manufacturing process
Color Masterbatch Market has been segmented on the basis of types and
application. Based on types, the color masterbatch market has been
segmented into white masterbatch, standard color masterbatch, black
masterbatch, additive masterbatch and others. The standard color
masterbatch commands for the major share in the global color masterbatch
market owing to its extensive utilization in processing polymers. Based
on application, the color masterbatch market has been segmented into
packaging, automotive, consumer goods and retail, textile and others.
The packaging segment is leading the global color masterbatch market
owing to the rapid expansion of packaging industry. Increased
utilization of plastic products in consumer goods are leading to the
significant expansion of the consumer goods and retail segment in the
global color masterbatch market.
Geographically, the global color
masterbatch market has been segmented into five major regions such as
North America, South America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East
and Africa. The Europe region commands for the major share in the global
color masterbatch market and is forecasted to expand at a CAGR of 5.60%
during the forecast period. The color masterbatch market is majorly
driven by factors such as increased research and development activities
for optimizing the masterbatch manufacturing process, rapid expansion of
end-use industries and high demand for good quality color masterbatches
from various end-use industries in this region. The Asia Pacific region
commands for the second largest share in the global color masterbatch
market and is anticipated to expand significantly at a CAGR of 6.63%
during the assessment period. Rise in demand for color masterbatch due
to rapid expansion of packaging industry is fueling the growth of the
color masterbatch market in the North America region. However, low
penetration of technologically advanced manufacturing processes in the
underdeveloped areas is restraining the expansion of the color
masterbatch market in the Middle East and Africa region.
The first two black masterbatches from this latest colouring system are developed for polypropylene applications, but can be applied to any other polymer offering improved colouring and coverage capabilities compared to previous formulations.Carbon black masterbatch
Its new NIR black 958884 masterbatch satisfies EU food contact legislation and is available at an economic 0.21p per tray, this represents a substantial 60% price saving compared to the costs quoted in the first WRAP commissioned project to commercialise this technology, ‘Development of NIR Detectable Black Plastic Packaging.’
Tony Gaukroger, director, Colour Tone, said: “Historically the price premium for NIR technology has been a ‘barrier’ to its adoption. We now have a masterbatch that delivers to brand owners and retailers the required eco-benefits at a competitive price that has significantly reduced the ‘gap’ between this and conventional carbon black pigments.”
While the NIR black 95893 supports those applications required to meet the ‘Food and Drugs Administration (FDA), code of Federal Regulations’ criteria (when limited to a maximum dosage of 10%). This is a market first for an NIR detectable black masterbatch and will benefit those global companies who supply to US markets.
Colour Tone helped to pioneer the development of the first NIR colourants that were proven to enable black plastics to be made ‘visible’ to optical sorting methods. Since most black plastics packaging featured carbon black and other pigments that absorb infra-red light rendering them ‘invisible’ to NIR spectrophometers.
With the UK’s consumer packaging recycling rates currently stalling at 30 per cent, much lower than our European neighbours, it confirms that considerable work still has to be done to help brand owners ‘close the loop’ on difficult to recycle single-use plastics.
Tony Gaukroger, continues: “Recently we’ve seen ‘knee-jerk’ responses to ensure that single-use packaging is recyclable, with some retailers finding bio-degradable cardboard and other alternatives. This is despite the fact that these materials are less eco-friendly, since cardboard requires massive energy to produce compared to plastic.
“The focus should be instead on finding ‘end-of-life’ solutions for reliable and proven plastics packaging, if we are to continue benefiting from a material that can triple a food’s shelf-life; reduce spoilage and therefore prevent unnecessary food waste.
“If recycling is to be effective it also requires materials in bulk, by adopting these varied alternatives it will become a problem for recyclers to even sort, so a consistent approach to materials we specify is very much needed now.
“Despite being a world leader in this technology that facilitates the NIR sorting of difficult to recycle plastics packaging, the UK’s kerbside collections have remained disappointingly slow to recognise this need. While in Europe, single-use plastics recycling is accelerating, with new markets developing to reuse the materials sorted from the mixed plastics waste stream, shouldn’t we be following their example?
