Open Truck Dust Free Loading Bellow

We recently teamed up with our mechanical contractor partners to supply & commission a new Stainless Steel 316 Torex BellowJet system for a client loading open trucks.

The difference? Night and day (see the photos of before and after). By moving away from traditional rubber drop socks to a system with integrated dust extraction, the facility has seen:
– A near full reduction visible dust during high-volume loading.
– Improved site safety and air quality.
– Reduced product waste and cleanup time.

This isn’t just an equipment upgrade; it’s a transformation of the facility’s working environment. The integrated dust extraction loading bellow ensures that “open truck loading” no longer means “dusty site.”

Fiberglass Dust Extractor

Filquip recently delivered a specialist dust extraction solution for a customer operating a fibreglass sheet roller. Our custom-designed hood and dust extractor system captures fine glass fibres released during the rolling process, collecting them in a 50L bin for safe, controlled disposal.

This solution significantly reduces airborne fibreglass dust, enhancing workplace health and safety (WHS) compliance and creating a safer environment for the team.

Need effective dust control for your facility? Filquip offers a range of high-performance, free-standing dust collectors and systems designed to keep your workplace clean, safe, and compliant. Contact us today to learn more!

Stainless Steel Laboratory Dust Extractor

Another successful dust control solution delivered! At Filquip, we and our partner engineering companies recently designed, supplied, and installed a high-performance 54m² Stainless Steel Dust Extractor for a Brisbane customer and their in-house laboratory. This system, featuring a stainless steel hopper and wheelie bin filler, ensures a clean and safe workspace by effectively capturing dust.

The project also included wall-mounted flexible suction arms and Speedlock ducting, tailored to the lab’s needs. While we can’t share photos of the suction arms due to confidentiality inside the Lab, we’re thrilled with the results and our client’s satisfaction!

Looking for reliable dust extraction solutions for your facility? Filquip offers a wide range of free-standing dust collectors and control systems to keep your environment dust-free and compliant.

OLI Pneumatic Precast Concrete Vibrators

Filquip is a supplier of high speed pneumatic vibrators for precast concrete vibration.

These external pneumatic vibrators have no electrical components and are powered from compressed air alone. The compressed air spins the rotors inside the vibrator housing between 10,000 and 12,000 Vibrations per Minute.

Vibratory force (Centrifugal force) output from 720Kg to 6,118Kg.
Low frequency vibration for large aggregate concrete containing pebbles or gravel (10,000 Vibrations per Minute).
High frequency vibration for concrete with more fine granules such as cement and sand (20,000 Vibrations per Minute).
No electrical components, only air required.
Designed for quick bolting or coupling to formworks or moulds allowing simple and easy movement of the units.

PAC Vacuum Loaders

Filquip is a supplier of stocked PAC Vacuum Loaders and custom made PAC dosing systems. Our PAC Vacuum loaders are used to convey bags of PAC into a storage hopper or mixing tank. The system uses a suction wand which allows the staff to vacuum load the PAC without the risk physical injury through incorrect lifting techniques and being a vacuum system minimises dust.

Breather Bag Dust Socks

Filquip is a supplier of breather bag dust socks for hoppers and silos. Filquip can also provide a base ring upstand with cage to mount the breather sock onto your hopper or silo with a threaded, Tri-Clover, Flanged or Clamped connection type.

25kg Bag Handling Station with Dense Phase Conveyor

Filquip recently delivered and commissioned a new 25kg Bag Break Station paired with a Dense Phase Conveyor for a client, streamlining the transfer of milk powder, cocoa powder, sugar, coconut powder, and various other food ingredients into their site mixer.

Previously, the process required three staff members operating from a mobile ladder platform to manually load 25kg bags into the mixer. The new system enhances efficiency by enabling a single operator to handle the loading process while eliminating the need for a ladder, improving workplace safety.

The innovative Filquip system design integrates the bag break station’s dust extractor to also serve the bag packing head through a pipework and valve system, offering a cost-effective solution by eliminating the need for a separate dust extraction unit within the room for the packing process.

Key equipment supplied includes:

WAMGroup SS304 RSM Manual Bag Break Station, ATEX-compliant with IECEX pulsing coils, 1.1kW IECEX fanset for integrated dust control, and a Zone 20 internal rating.
Air-Tec Systems BARTOne 50 Dense Phase Conveyor in SS304, upgraded with IECEX Zone 20 internal instrumentation.
OLI Vibrators OT16 Pneumatic Vibrator and VBSMI Mini Blue Food-Grade, Metal-Detectable Aerators to enhance flow in the RSM hopper.
Stainless steel long-radius tube bends for durability and performance.

This solution showcases Filquip’s commitment to efficiency, safety, and cost-saving innovation!

Magbase Magnetic Vibrator

The MagBase Heavy Duty magnetic vibrator mounting bracket is available from Filquip. The MagBase HD is made from Stainless Steel 304 and uses strong rare earth magnets to hold the vibrator against the steel formwork, hopper walls, silos or bins requiring vibrating.

The MagBase handle allows easy movement of vibrators around the steel structure being vibrated and also provides protection for the air fittings on the vibrator from being accidentally damaged.

The Oli range of Pneumatic vibrators are available for direct mounting to the MagBase includes the OR100, OT36S, OT36, OT30, S36 or S30.

Filquip has produced the following video to show the ease of attaching the magbase vibrator to a silo or hopper and its operation.
