Mideco Burnley Baffles - Suppressing Dust Dissemination From Dump Hoppers
Burnley® Baffles reduce up to 80% of dust from hoppers, or 100% when paired with a dust collector. Using gravity and air movement, the baffles block dust while allowing materials like grain, cement, or ores to flow freely. The clouds of dust that escape during the materials handling process pose extreme health risks to anyone nearby. Exposure to such dust can lead to the development of silicosis, lung cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. When applied to a hopper alone, Burnley® Baffles can eliminate up to 80% of dust… and if you apply an additional dust collector directly to a hopper, 100% of dust can be eliminated.
Burnley® Baffles use simple gravity and air movement to control dust during hopper intake.
Their modular design features pivoting blades that allow materials to flow into the hopper while trapping dust below. Air pressure remains balanced, preventing dust from escaping.
Easy to install and customisable for any hopper size, Burnley® Baffles come in five models tailored for materials like grain, cement, fertiliser, soda ash, ores, and coal.
Designed by Mideco, these baffles safeguard worker health by reducing dust exposure, ensuring safer, cleaner work environments.
