Industrial Applications of Street Sweepers

Plantas de cemento

Regular and thorough sweeping is crucial to maintaining a safe working environment at a cement plant. Cement production involves grinding, mixing, and handling of raw materials, which can generate significant amounts of dust.  

  1. Inhalation of cement dust can lead to respiratory issues such as asthma, bronchitis, and other lung diseases. Prolonged exposure to cement dust can also cause lung cancer. Sweeping helps to remove this dust from the environment. 
  2. Cement plants involve heavy machinery, moving parts, and large equipment, which can present physical hazards if not properly maintained. Dust particles can enter machinery and cause mechanical failure. Accidents can occur due to falls, entrapments, and contact with moving objects, leading to serious injuries or even fatalities. 
  3. Cement product is reactive with water, so industrial or waterless sweepers are required to control dust and achieve the benefits of sweeping in this environment.

Street sweeping plays a critical role in maintaining the overall functionality, safety, and environmental sustainability of coal and fossil fuel power generating facilities. Waterless sweeping is essential in removing these bulk powders, in order to avoid the material sticking to surfaces. 

  1. Coal power plants produce combustible dust such as coal dust and fly ash as a byproduct of the combustion process. 
  2. Fine airborne coal dust and fly ash can become airborne, posing respiratory health risks for workers and nearby communities. Furthermore, this dust can enter and accumulate within power plant equipment, causing damage and reducing efficiency. 
  3. Accumulation of combustible coal dust around the plant, streets, and parking lots can increase the risk of explosion and fire. Regular sweeping also prevents this material from washing into and contaminating nearby bodies of water.

Puertos

El tipo de material que se puede encontrar en los puertos varía ampliamente, desde polvo derramado hasta material voluminoso y partes de paletas rotas. Los puertos son áreas congestionadas que requieren barredoras con una buena maniobrabilidad. La mayoría de los puertos contiene un sistema de vías férreas que se extiende desde los muelles de carga hasta las terminales externas de transporte.

Procesamiento de granos

Típicamente, las barredoras que se necesitan en las plantas de procesamiento de granos para convertirlos en polvo para diferentes aplicaciones, son aquellas que barren las moliendas derramadas alrededor del sitio de procesamiento y esparcidas alrededor de la planta. Las barredoras deben tener la capacidad de manipular granos pequeños, como el maíz o el trigo procesados, los cuales son polvos sueltos y secos que al reaccionar con el agua, pueden iniciar su fermentación y generar olores. El barrido debe ser en seco, pero debe poder recoger partículas pequeñas.

Procesamiento de cal y canteras

Las operaciones relacionadas con cal y canteras necesitan desplazar barredoras en vías principales y secundarias donde se derrama material. Los materiales típicos que se deben barrer son arena, grava y cal en polvo.

Suggested Sweepers for
Industrial Applications

The Waterless Pelican is the most effective in these industrial applications.  It can sweep the dry dusty particles without using water to suppress the dust. The Waterless Pelican also has an industrial option that includes reduced broom speed, a lower roller deflector and special skirting all designed for superior performance in bulk powder applications.
