Silica Dust Control Systems for Conveyor Belt Transfer Points
C&W silica dust control systems are designed to capture respirable crystalline silica dust generated when processing and conveying high volumes of abrasive bulk materials. These systems control dust at key points across Mining, Mineral Processing and Aggregate operations. Powerful and easy-to-use, C&W’s Belt Conveyor Transfer Point Dust Collector delivers dry dust collection that controls dust at the source.
As regulatory focus increases on dust-producing transfer points, C&W’s conveyor dry dust collection solution delivers:
Stabilized airflow at critical transfer points.- Effective dust capture when paired with proper conveyor sealing and containment.
- Cleaner, safer transfer areas with reduced housekeeping requirements.
- Lower dust exposure for operators and nearby equipment.
- Designed for continuous duty in Aggregates, Mining & Minerals and more.
Stabilized airflow at critical transfer points.Built on decades of experience engineering dust collection systems for heavy industry, C&W’s conveyor belt dust collectors are designed to perform and built to last.

C&W DustTech Conveyor Dust Collectors
Our Belt Conveyor Transfer Point Dust Collector brings C&W engineering to one of the most critical areas of material handling. It helps deliver cleaner air, protect employees and support compliance with Mine Health and Safety Administration (MSHA) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards. This helps reduce the risk of fines, avoid unplanned downtime and keep your operation running smoothly. We offer several options of conveyor dust collector for use across key applications, including:
- Compression crusher discharge including jaw and cone crushers.
- Can be used with VSI and HIS impact crushers when paired with proper load zone design including stilling areas and dust curtains.
- Screen discharge.
- Conveyor-to-conveyor transfer.

Silica Dust in Conveyor Systems is the Risk You Don’t See
Silica dust is created when handling and conveying bulk materials, especially at conveyor transfer points and load zones. Fine particles can stay in the air and move throughout your operation, creating ongoing exposure risks for your employees and your community.
Protecting your team starts with controlling the dust you cannot see. A dust collection system may be in place, but that does not always mean it’s working as intended. Dust can still escape due to poor airflow, unbalanced pickup points or improper sizing.
Effective control requires dry dust collection systems that are engineered for the application. C&W DustTech conveyor dust collectors are designed to capture fine particulate silica dust at the source, helping reduce exposure and keep you aligned with changing silica standards. This helps improve air quality and support a safer work environment.
