Filquip has recently Specified and Supplied a Dust Extraction System to collect dust from various pickup points across a set of Packing Machines and Additive Tip in Stations in a Grout bagging plant. Waste dust is deposited in a bulk bag for simple re-use of waste or easy disposal.
Filquip is a Brisbane based supplier to free standing dust extractors. These units are perfect for connecting to your ducting network and providing dust extraction from a number of pick points, hoods and other locations as required across your plant.
Filquip also offers ducting sizing and design layouts to get the correct ducting diameters and routing to avoid the dust settling in the ductwork or moving too quickly through the ducting which will prematurely wear out the ducting bends.
Our free standing dust extractors are offered in a number of sizes from 60m3/hr suction airflow up to 15,000m3/hr airflow with over 50 different models across the range to cover any airflow requirement inbetween.
The dust collection device on the dust extractor hopper can be fitted as a 50L bin, Bulk Bag filler or Drum filler option.

Filquip is a Brisbane based supplier to free standing dust collectors. These units are perfect for connecting to your Silos or Hoppers that are being filled by a tanker truck or other pneumatic conveying system when it is not possible to have the dust collector mounted onto the silo/hopper, or when you when it is desirable to conenct multiple silos/hoppers to the one free standing dust collector.
Filquip also offers ducting sizing and design layouts to get the correct ducting diameters and routing to avoid the dust settling in the ductwork or moving too quickly through the ducting which will prematurely wear out the ducting bends.
Our free standing dust collectors are offered in a number of sizes from 60m3/hr suction airflow up to 7,500m3/hr airflow with over 50 different models across the range to cover any airflow requirement inbetween.
The dust collection device on the dust extractor hopper can be fitted as a 50L bin, Bulk Bag filler or Drum filler option.

Filquip has recently supplied a FNS2J12 Dust Extractor to a customer as part of an upgrade with the tip in system to their mixer. Previously staff opened the mixer lid and split the bags on the edge of the mixer to pour the bags into the mixing chamber. This created a dust hazard when pouring the bags which Filquip was asked to advise in a Dust Control Solution.
The devised solution included along with the Dust Extractor unit itself, an upgrade to the lid of the mixer to include a hood with perspex doors allowing the new dust extractor installed above to capture the dust generated and contained within the hood. Once the doors are closed after the bags are emptied then the dust collector can reverse pulse clean the dust from the filters into the mixer, therefore no product is lost from the system.
Filquip recently supplied a customer handling hazardous wastes with a Special Build TOREX RV02 with Teflon coated body and rotor with SS316 Stainless Steel chambered rotor tip blades. Its a special “non-stick” rotary valve with a capacity of 1.2m3/hr operating at 10RPM speed.
Filquip has done a number of Dense Phase Conveying Trials for Spodumene Ore (An ore of lithium).
When the product was first received it was quite wet in the sample bucket and this did not load or convey well, getting stuck. Once laid out in drying pans and dried out in the sun for 4 hours (5.3% loss of product weight or 5.3% of the original product weight was moisture driven off) then it conveyed very well through the dense phase conveyor.
The video shows how much the wet Spodumene binds to itself in the video of loading and conveying and then how easily it flows once dried out (but more dusty to handle once dried).
Filquip was engaged to specify, supply and commission a Fly Ash Dense Phase Conveyor to transport 9TPH of product a distance of 40m from a Bulk Storage Silo to a Day Bin over the production line.
The system was designed to replace the older Lean Phase Conveying system which was experiencing significant wear and maintenance requirements resulting in shutdowns of the plant. The new Dense Phase Conveyor is designed for abrasive products and only has one simple moving part in the build for minimal maintenance.
The following equipment package was supplied by Filquip:

Filquip has completed the Design, Supply and Commissioning for a set of 4 Loading Bellows for existing cement silos on a mine site. The silos are used for bulk cement storage and they fill into individual isotainers which transport the cement to the underground section of the mine.
The new loading bellows provide a safe way for truck drivers to load the cement into the isotainers as the previous method was a hand operated valve and rubber sock. Drivers can now position their truck with Isotainer on the back under the bellows and use the remote pendant controller to lower the bellows outlet onto the inlet of the isotainer.
The integrated dust extractor ensures there is no dust released during the filling process.
The pneumatic actuated slide gate valve allows the operator to open the flow of product as they wish and shut if off as required along with the integrated level sensing in the loading bellows also automatically shutting off the valve and product flow when the Isotainer is full preventing overfilling and backing up into the chute.
The following specifications were included for the Loading Bellows:
Filquip has recently worked with a quarry plant construction company to provide a Quarry Stone Dust Wetting System for the fines generated through the quarry screening processes.
The Filquip supplied Dustfix unit allows the plant to put the fine quarry stone dust onto a belt conveyor for stockpiling without all the excessive dust emissions generally associated with handling fine dusts on belt conveyors.
Filquip is proud to have supplied the following equipment for the Quarry Stone Dust Wetting System .
Filquip has recently supplied a WAM FPHUT54 Dust Extractor with hopper and Chrome Bore RV05.10 Rotary Valve to control the dust generated in a quarry screen house.
The unit has been commissioned by Filquip and all parties are extremely pleased at the performance of the unit in controlling the dust emissions off the quarry screen deck.
Filquip is a supplier of filter presses for the Stone, Ceramics and Tile cutting industries. The filter press allows solids/liquids seperation of the suspended fines in the cutting water. The filtered cutting water can then be run through a final polishing filter or used directly back into the cutting wash water directly.
Filquip also supplies filter press cloths in many varieties and sizes to suit your application.
