Minimizing Coal Dust Hazards in the Power Sector with DYNAVAC Industrial Vacuum Cleaners

Industry: Power Sector

Problem: Excessive coal dust generated during the crushing process posed health risks (Coal Workers’ Pneumoconiosis) and environmental concerns, exceeding pollution control board norms.

Solution: Implementation of two DYNAVAC HYDRA 7.0 FL Flameproof Industrial Vacuum Cleaners with:

• Anti-static dust bag (primary filter)
• Anti-static cartridge filter (secondary filter)
• Anti-static 10m flexible hose

Client Situation:

• A large Gujarat-based cooperative faced coal dust challenges impacting worker health, productivity, and regulatory compliance.
• Tight budget and aggressive timeline demanded an immediate and comprehensive solution.

• Meeting stringent safety standards and regulatory requirements.

DYNAVAC Solution:

• DYNAVAC engineers quickly assessed the situation and recommended the HYDRA 7.0 FL vacuum cleaners.
• Flameproof features (motor, starter, cable) ensured explosion safety.
• Anti-static filters minimized dust re-entrainment and protected against static discharge.
• High-quality filtration efficiency (up to 5 microns) minimized dust emissions.
• Class-D cast iron enclosure and heavy-duty cable enhanced equipment durability.

Results:

• Two HYDRA 7.0 FL units effectively controlled dust accumulation.
• Improved workplace safety and reduced health risks for workers.
• Enhanced productivity due to a cleaner work environment.
• Compliance with pollution control board regulations
