Build Your Custom Mining Dust Collector to Manage Abrasive Dust
Companies in mining, metal processing and mineral quarrying face serious dust challenges every day at critical material handling points. Staying compliant with EPA, OSHA and MSHA regulations is critical. Not just for safety, but for maintaining efficient operations and protecting workers. Yet in many cases, dust collection systems are assumed to be performing simply because they are running, even when dust is still escaping at key points throughout the process.
Rugged operations require more than standard equipment. They require systems engineered to perform in harsh, high-volume environments. For more than 45 years, C&W DustTech has specialized in custom dust collection systems designed to support Mining processes that include:
Extraction- Primary, secondary and tertiary crushing
- Conveying
- Overland transfer points
- Screening
ExtractionThis diverse expertise enables us to design and build high-performing dust collection equipment to capture, recycle or dispose of all types of dust including coal, copper and talc. Our Mining dust control solutions are specifically engineered to contain fugitive Mining dust at the source, protecting your people, supporting production and minimizing environmental impact.
Work with C&W to engineer airflow-driven dust collection systems that reduce risk, support compliance and perform in demanding Mining environments.

Putting Our Mining and Minerals Expertise to Work for You
We understand the challenges dust creates in Mining operations – and the impact it has on safety, production and compliance. When it comes to protecting your employees, increasing production efficiency and avoiding regulatory fines, good isn’t good enough. That’s why we build upon more than 45 years of expertise in dust collection for Ready-Mix and Concrete to engineer dry dust collection solutions that withstand harsh Mining environments. Our clean air technologies are tough, built to handle large amounts of sticky, abrasive dust and designed to keep your air clean at every step of the process.
It starts with an on-site engineering audit, where our dust experts visit your facility to identify where dry dust collection is needed most. We then work with you to either identify incremental improvements to increase system performance or custom engineer a system with the highest-performing products and components, including filter media that can handle your abrasive dust.
Turn to C&W DustTech for the most complete selection of clean air technologies for Mining applications, including:
- The widest range of Dust Collectors:
- Cartridge Pulse Collectors
- Bag Pulse Collectors
- Reverse Air Collectors
- Recycle & Classifying Systems
- Transfer Systems
- A complete selection of Spare Parts to ensure ongoing system performance and support regular maintenance
Designed to perform and built to last, our dust collectors deliver reliable protection in demanding environments. Explore our conveyor dust collectors to find the right solution for your application.

Dry Dust Collection Expertise
Dry dust collection does what water can’t. While water-based systems only knock down larger dust particles, our dry dust collectors use pulse jet technologies to capture even the smallest particles – those less than 2.5 microns (μm) wide. That’s the kind of protection your operation needs. Depend on the experts at C&W DustTech for the dry dust suppression system you need to protect your employees and drive compliance.
Dry Dust Collection
- Captures 99%+ Dust Smaller than 2.5μm
- Conserves Water
- Minimizes Environmental Impact
- Ensures MSHA & EPA Compliance
- Reclaims Valuable Minerals
- Needs Less Maintenance
Wet Dust Suppression
- Suppresses Dust Larger than 15μm
- Uses Significant Amounts of Water
- Can Negatively Affect Local Wildlife
- Risk Hefty Fines Due to Non-Compliance
- Loss of Valuable Materials
- Prone to Frequent Downtime for Repair
Mitigating the Risks of Silica
Silica, or crystalline silica, is a significant health hazard in Mining operations. When producers drill, cut, or crush rock, airborne silica particles can be inhaled. Prolonged exposure to these fine particles can lead to silicosis, a debilitating and often fatal lung disease, and other health issues.
To keep miners safe, the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) has implemented stringent compliance regulations to limit silica exposure. These requirements include permissible exposure limits (PELs), mandated regular monitoring of air quality and require the use of effective dust collection and personal protective equipment. At C&W, we leverage 45 years of expertise across heavy industries, like cement, mining and minerals, to design dust collection solutions that ensure our customers maintain compliance and keep their people safe.
