Solve Your Mining Problems With Solution-Based Chemistry

Process Dust Control

Controlling process dust has long been a problem for most mining companies. Using water alone is costly and often creates more problems than it solves.

Benefits

  • Reduction in dust emission (Improved Opacity readings)
  • Improved Industrial Hygiene for employees and surrounding community (respirable dust)
  • Reduction in process water usage
  • Reduction in O/M costs to conveyor belt rollers, scrappers, and idlers
  • Increase conveyor belt, scraper, roller, pulley life
  • Reduction in material carry back along conveyor belts
  • Reduction in plugged chutes and crushers
  • Increased production rates

Car Topper System

Transport of minerals in open railcars has been under environmental pressure for a number of years. Fugitive dust loss from loaded railcars can pose air quality violations, contribute to rail ballast degradation, and reduce profits from valuable minerals lost in transit. Freedom Industries has been the recognized leader in railcar sealants (car toppers) since 1997. We have designed, installed, and maintained the majority of car topper systems currently in use throughout the Eastern United States. Although most applications are designed for transport of coal, Freedom’s products and application equipment can be used on a wide variety of ore bodies.

Each application is unique. As such, the Freedom Team

  • will custom design a solution for each client as follows: Evaluate the coal/ore and provide a comprehensive laboratory report
  • Survey the load out and design a delivery system
  • Procure, fabricate, and install the delivery system
  • Provide maintenance and technical service after the installation.
