McGill AirClean Burnley Baffles® Control Fugitive Dust
The service division of McGill AirClean is reintroducing Burnley Baffles. The Burnley Baffle is a patented, gravity-operated dust control device consisting of pivotally mounted baffles and fixed metal deflectors. It controls fugitive dust when free-flowing bulk materials are being loaded and unloaded.
Burnley Baffles provide proven dust control for applications where bulk materials are dumped.
Burnley Baffles can be used for a variety of dust-handling applications, including ores, crushed rock, fertilizers, chemicals, grains/feeds, coal, powders, cement, lime, and glass batch. The baffles provide 90 percent closure of the grating or dump sink area, and can control 75 percent of the dust without the use of a dust control system. Burnley Baffles can be fabricated in a variety of dimensions and angles to handle various product sizes. For special applications, they can be manufactured from materials that withstand abrasion and corrosion or avoid buildup of static electricity.
Using Burnley Baffles can significantly reduce or eliminate dust control requirements. More energy-efficient and less costly dust collection systems can be used because less contaminated air volume is generated. Typical energy/cost savings can be greater than 50 percent.
An additional benefit is time savings. The absence of dust when Burnley Baffles are used allows operators to work in the unloading area, and can actually increase the speed of the loading/unloading operation. A set of Burnley Baffles can usually be installed by unskilled labor in less than a day without the use of special tools or fasteners. And the simple design of the Burnley Baffle makes it virtually maintenance free, since there are no mechanical or electrical components to break down or replace.
