Reduce Spillage & Dust With Conveyor Belt Skirting
Conveyor Belt Sealing Systems Engineered To Last
HOSCH conveyor belt skirting helps contain material and suppress dust at conveyor loading points, supporting cleaner, safer mining and bulk handling operations. Dust containment is particularly important at mine sites near townships, where airborne particles can affect neighbouring communities.
The FD-Series uses abrasion-resistant rubber sealing blocks that can be individually adjusted to maintain light belt contact, limiting wear while controlling spillage and dust escape. Available in FD-A, FD-B and FD-C configurations, the system provides longitudinal and transverse sealing options. Straightforward adjustment and block replacement help maintain effective containment as components wear, reducing clean-up requirements and supporting reliable conveyor operation on site.
The Key Benefits Of Conveyor Belt Skirting
Prevents Material Spillage
Skirting seals gaps around conveyor loading points, helping keep bulk material on the belt and reducing material loss, build-up and contamination around surrounding equipment and walkways.
Prevents Dust Escaping
By sealing conveyor transfer points, skirting helps contain airborne dust, supporting cleaner working areas and reducing dust escape towards neighbouring communities, particularly near mining townships nearby.
Reduces Clean-Up Costs
Containing material at loading points reduces clean-up demands and limits accumulation around conveyor components, helping lower labour costs, reduce maintenance requirements and support reliable daily operation.
How Does Belt Skirting Work?
Belt skirting creates a seal between the conveyor belt and loading chute, helping contain material and dust within the transfer area. HOSCH skirting uses abrasion-resistant rubber blocks positioned with light contact against the moving belt, providing effective sealing while minimising wear.
Each block can be individually adjusted as it wears to maintain contact. Installed along the sides and across appropriate sections of the loading area, skirting helps reduce spillage, dust escape and surrounding material build-up.
The Conveyor Belt Skirting Installation Process
1. Free Conveyor Belt Audit
We assess your conveyor loading points to identify spillage and dust escape, inspect existing skirting and belt condition, and determine your site’s material containment requirements.
2. Explore Skirting Options
Based on our audit findings, we recommend suitable HOSCH skirting for your loading chute, belt profile and material conditions to help contain spillage and dust.
3. Installation & Quality Checks
Our technicians install your HOSCH skirting, individually adjust sealing blocks for light belt contact, and check for gaps to confirm effective containment during normal operation.
