ASGCO says its “Complete Conveyor Solutions” now offers the world’s first advanced containment and dust control solution for conveyed bulk material products. ASGCO’s Pro-ZoneTM is a patent pending modular conveyor belt load-zone system that optimises the seal for air/dust tightness on the receiving conveyor belt. This “skirt-less” fully self-contained system is comprised of ASGCO Slide-N-Roll beds with removable “slide out” designed UHMW and steel side supports as well as easy to remove centre rolls. Side guards, internal splash sealing system, dust curtains and angled hoods (aluminium or steel) completely enclose the entire system.

Product features include increased productivity and longer conveyor belt life because the completely sealed load zone helps eliminate material turbulence and conveyor belt cover abrasion. ASGCO also states that the solution also offers lower maintenance costs by having a skirt-less, fully contained system that requires no adjustments of metal skirt-boards or rubber skirting adjustments. The modular design means it can be installed in any combination of 1,200 mm or 1,500 mm lengths to completely cover the load zone area. It also has quickly removable dust hoods and slide-out side sections, while removable centre rolls aid in the installation and maintenance of the system. The system is completely engineered, designed and fabricated in the US. In mined products, Pro-Zone is particularly suitable for dusty industrial minerals conveying, such as for potash, phosphates, salt and trona; as well as coal.
