Steel Dust Conveying Blower Packages

These pressure packages were designed for a large recycling facility that recovers zinc and lead from industrial waste products. Facilities with Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) collect their flue dust and transport it via rail cars or trucks to the recycling facility where the minerals are extracted from the dust and used to create Crude Zinc Oxide and Waelz Iron Product. The facility currenty processes over 480 million pounds of dust annually. Each blower package features a 616 RAM Blower that provides 1120 CFM of airflow to convey the materials through the process.
