Surfactant Dust System
Surfactant agents reduce surface tension of water, improve its ability to wet surfaces and form fine droplets. Reduced surface tension, random collisions between droplets of water and dust fines result in the wetting and enlargement of the dust particles, so that they drop out of suspension in the air.
Martin Tracker™
The Martin® Tracker™ conveyor belt tracking system provides continuous and precise adjustment of the patented parallel steering / training system keeps the belt tracking properly and prevents wandering conveyor belts. The Tracker reduces damage to edges, prevents spillage and extends belt life.
