Kinder Australia’s Essential AIR Seal Dust Containment Combination is a complete solution tackling dust and spillages caused by conveyors all while reducing downtime.
It’s engineered and designed to solve persistent dust and material containment issues at conveyor transfer points and it’s not just a seal.
Businesses are choosing this solution because it has contactless design, which delivers dust-free skirting and sealing capabilities at critical conveyor points. Additionally, it improves efficiency by reducing the need for maintenance, belt wear and unplanned shutdowns.
“A brick manufacturing plant was facing significant challenges with spillage and dust accumulation around its conveyor system, particularly at the transfer points. This led to health and safety concerns, material loss, and daily clean-up efforts taking up valuable time and resources – two hours a day spent on clean-up alone.” Kinder representative said.

“The customer was experiencing excessive spillages and dust accumulation below and around their conveyor system. They were also spending two hours per day managing dust and spillage and needed a comprehensive solution for their apron belt feeders.”
This complete system is designed to work seamlessly with a company’s existing setup. It provided the plant with a solution to these issues, including key components such as AirScrape, TailScrape, K-Sure Belt Support System, K-Containment Seal and DustScrape.

By using this complete solution, the customer reduced spillages by 100 per cent, reduced airborne dust by 98 per cent, eliminated material loss, and clean-up was reduced from two hours per day to an hour per week.
“Since installing Kinder’s system, dust and spillage have been dramatically reduced. The area remains much cleaner, and we’ve freed up time for more critical maintenance tasks,” the brick manufacturing plant maintenance manager said.
Thanks to the modular and easy-to-install system, only two personnel were needed for installation, with minimal disruption to plant operations.
With these results, the plant is now exploring additional installations across other areas to continue improving efficiency and safety.
