The “ Ibismix” dust conditioner is designed to stabilise dry dust with the admixture of water when emptying a storage hopper.

The dust is moistened upon discharge from the hopper to prevent airbourne dust escaping to atmosphere. The rate of dust flow from the hopper is controlled by a rotary valve or screw conveyor and fed into the inlet of the Ibismix unit.

Parrallel twin shafts fitted with angled paddles gently agitate the dust whilst feeding it along the mixer and a thick paste/pellets is discharged from the outlet . Discharged material is usually stored in a pen for periodic removal or open back wagons.
