Macawber Group

The steel making process creates large volumes of fume dust from Baghouses (BH) and from Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP). The dust is hot and heavy and produced in large volumes in various locations of a large steel making plant.

The Ashveyor® product group is designed to collect the dust from the numerous outlets of the BH or ESP and to conveying the material to central storage locations for off site removal or further processing.

The Ashveyor® is unique in its ability to collect dust automatically into small vessels for transfer through a common pipeline. The system is small and dust free, simple and very economical compared to traditional methods where mechanical screws or conveyors were used where maintenance and spillage of the material was common.

This method was introduced as a remarkable innovation almost 20 years ago but is now widely in use throughout the world where it is regarded as the preferred method of clean and economical dust handling.

In addition the Denseveyor® or the Variflo® is used for single point feed and transfer to multiple storage silos in pipeline systems from 2 inch to 12 inch diameter.

The steel industry now uses the Dome Valve® for emptying Dust Catchers (filters) where valve sizes to 24 inches are used. The reliable leak proof seal arrangement of the valve and its maintenance free operation is welcomed by the industry where maintenance costs are always a challenge.
