Background:
Fowlerex conducted an inspection of two dust collectors (510 DC01 and 510 DC02) in April 2025 for Bluestone Mines Tasmania Joint Venture, a leading mining operation in high-quality tin production. Significant wear and damage were identified, requiring replacement of key components to restore performance and extend equipment life.
Scope of Work:
- Supply and supervise installation of exhaust fan outlet dampers for both dust collectors to control airflow and pressure, preventing overloading.
- Replace filter bags to ensure proper commissioning and filtration efficiency.
- Replace damaged exhaust fan housing, impeller, and pedestal on DC02; motor remains reusable.
- Manufacture and install a new dirty air plenum (main housing) for DC02, built from 3mm mild steel with matching flanges and paint finish.
- Supply and install an inlet diffuser on DC02 to evenly distribute dust-laden air, reduce filter load, and extend filter life.
The repairs will restore dust collectors to their original specifications, with added improvements to enhance durability and operational efficiency, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
