Van Beek ’ s Dino mobile bulk truck loader is mobile to use and can load quickly , simply and safely . But how does it actually perform as regards preventing dust forming during loading ? Does a mobile bulk truck loader actually have solutions for this ? Van Beek has decades of experience as regards loads and over that time the company has developed numerous solutions . A particular property is that these can be used on any Dino , even if it is a decade old . Van Beek has , in fact , developed modules that can be attached to any Dino . The loading bellows on the outlet side of the Dino is by far the most popular means of reducing dust . This can be connected quickly , safely and efficiently to the manhole on the top of a bulk truck and for a small investment eliminates a lot of dust development . The loading bellows can be connected to an extraction unit . This creates a negative pressure in the loading compartment and so fewer fines or small particles escape during loading . The next step in dust reduction is to connect the inlet hopper of the Dino to the extraction unit . The unit immediately extracts most of the dust that is released when emptying FIBCs or 25kg bags . The extraction unit extracts the dust through a row of filters . At set times a blast of air passes through the filters , this knocks out the dust which then falls into an easily removable collection bin underneath . To minimise product loss Van Beek can fit the filter unit above the body of the Dino and fit it with a rotary valve . The dust particles collected and knocked out of the baghouses then fall straight back into the product stream . The standard Dino filter has a total area of 12 sqm . “ In some cases a bigger filter area is wanted ,” says Roel Kneepkens , sales engineer at Van Beek . “ We have developed a module for this with a filter area of 30 sqm .” Whether loading from FIBCs , a shovel or 25kg bags , the Dino has a suitable dust-reducing module for this application . For FIBCs with a flexible hose underneath Van Beek can fit the cover on the inlet hopper with a round hole into which the flexible hose fits precisely . In combination with an extraction unit this affords minimal dust development . Van Beek can fit the inlet hole with a flexible hose clamp for even less dust in the warehouse or logistics department . For big bags with no flexible hose , Van Beek fits the inlet hopper , a sort of big open metal box , with cutters that cut a cross in the bottom of the big bag . The product then runs straight into the Dino , during which process a minimal amount of dust can escape . For smaller bags the Dino can be extended with a lockable filling cabinet . The operator lays the bags on a screen and cuts them open . The product then falls straight into the Dino . By working with modules , the Dino can also be adapted to new situations or requirements even years after its purchase . “ For example we had a client who had bought a Dino 12 years ago to load granulates . The customer had now changed over to powders and this created a lot of dust . By fitting the Dino with dust extraction and a loading bellows the problem was solved in an instant ,” says Kneepkens . Due to more stringent requirements for the protection of personnel , according to Kneepkens clients are increasingly often extending the Dino they have already been using for years with dust-reducing modules . “ You see fewer and fewer logistics departments where the personnel always wear a dust mask for their work because of dust clouds . Companies are doing all they can to reduce dust and by upgrading their Dino a great saving can be made for a low investment .” The strength of the Dino is that it is mobile and can load quickly , simply and safely . When developing the dust-reducing modules , Van Beek has taken care that the Dino retains these positive properties even with its extensions . So even with an extraction unit or an extra-large filter area the Dino remains mobile , quick and safe .

A scalps oversize particles and foreign matter from dry bulk materials and solids-laden slurries at high rates in low headroom areas . The screener employs two unbalanced-weight gyratory motors mounted on opposing exterior sidewalls of the screening chamber , instead of one motor positioned beneath it , reducing minimum height requirements significantly . Mounted on suspension springs , the Flo-Thru design also allows vertical alignment of the top inlet and bottom outlet , allowing onsize material to descend rapidly through the screen in a straightthrough path at high rates into downstream equipment or receiving vessels . Oversize material is ejected through a spout at the periphery of the screen . The unit is available in diameters from 460-2,540mm with interchangeable screens that allow sifting of on-size materials as fine as 38 microns ( 400 mesh ). All material contact surfaces are of stainless steel with continuous welds polished to cGMP , 3-A , USDA , BISSC , FDA or industrial standards . Quick-release clamps allow rapid removal of screens and tool-free disassembly of frames for thorough wash down of components
