Closed-Loop Dust-Free Lime Handling System: Tailored for Canadian Lime Industry
Designed exclusively for Canadian clients operating in the lime sector, this integrated handling system comprises an open-type bulk bag discharger, U-shape screw conveyor, and bulk bag packaging machine—engineered to deliver a fully enclosed, dust-free, user-friendly, and low-maintenance solution that revolutionizes traditional lime processing.
By adopting state-of-the-art sealing technology across the entire workflow, the system eliminates dust emission at every stage: the bulk bag discharger features a tight-sealing elastic hood and transparent PVC dust curtain to contain dust during unloading, while the U-shape screw conveyor is equipped with airtight covers and anti-adhesive liners to prevent material leakage and dust generation during transportation. The bulk bag packaging machine integrates a sealed feeding interface and a centralized pulse dust collector (with ≥99.9% filtration efficiency, compliant with Canada’s National Emission Standards for Particulate Matter) that recycles dust back to the system, ensuring both workplace air quality (≤0.15 mg/m³ of unorganized dust) and environmental compliance. This not only safeguards workers’ respiratory health but also meets stringent Canadian safety and environmental regulations, including OHSA and NESP standards.
Operation is simplified to intuitive steps: the system is controlled via a PLC panel with bilingual (English/French) interfaces, allowing operators to complete bulk bag unloading, material conveying, and 1-ton bag packaging with minimal training. The open-type discharger is fitted with an electric hoist and adjustable bulk bag holder for easy bag replacement, while the screw conveyor’s variable-frequency drive enables precise speed control to match production demands. Maintenance is streamlined through accessible inspection hatches, wear-resistant and locally sourced spare parts (e.g., UHMWPE liners, sealing gaskets), and modular design—reducing downtime and operational costs significantly.
This system directly addresses the industry’s long-standing pain points: it replaces labor-intensive manual bagging with automated, high-efficiency packaging (8–12 bags per hour, with ±0.5% weighing accuracy), relieving workers from heavy physical labor. Meanwhile, the fully enclosed structure eradicates dust dispersion, eliminating cleaning burdens and equipment wear caused by dust accumulation. Adapted to Canada’s harsh winter conditions, all components are insulated for low-temperature resistance (-40℃ to 60℃) and feature IP65-rated electrical systems, ensuring reliable performance even in extreme climates.
Ideal for both quicklime (CaO) and hydrated lime (Ca(OH)₂) handling, this system balances productivity, compliance, and user experience—providing Canadian lime manufacturers with a sustainable, cost-effective solution that enhances operational efficiency and workplace safety.
