Cimbria, a global expert in advanced solutions for industrial processing, cleaning, optical sorting, and handling of bulk materials in the grain, seed, food, and feed industries, has announced the launch of its Moduflex Dust-Free loading solution. It is a first-of-its-kind free-fall loading solution design that integrates the company’s proven Moduflex loading chutes with its all-new Type FT Multi-Outlet, creating a unified system for cleaner outloading of bulk materials and significantly lower dust emissions for agricultural and industrial customers worldwide.
“Moduflex Dust-Free is a first-of-its-kind free-fall loading design and the result of decades of experience in outloading engineering,” says Allan Flyvolm, Sales Manager, Moduflex. “By combining the loading chute with the Type FT Multi-Outlet, we have a developed a unique system that reduces dust at source, so the entire outloading process becomes far cleaner, more predictable, and easier to control.”
Dust emissions are a major challenge for facilities that handle dust-prone bulk materials. Even small amounts of dust and other impurities can affect air quality, reduce visibility, and create unnecessary wear on nearby equipment over time. But Cimbria’s Moduflex Dust-Free loading solution changes that.
“The Type FT Multi-Outlet is designed to form what we call a free-falling material beam. As the material transitions into free fall, the heavier product accelerates downwards, while lighter air and dust separate naturally from the stream. This controlled separation removes almost all air and fine particles before it even reaches the loading zone, giving operators a cleaner, safer work environment.”
The free-falling material beam is particularly effective for open loading of flatbed truck types. Because air and dust are controlled inside the outlet before it reaches the truck, operators can raise it above the loading zone and still discharge material with remarkably low dust emissions, all without needing a dust skirt like other open loading solutions. Loading volume is up to 250m³/h, depending on the material.
As Allan explains, this combination of clean flow, flexible positioning, and high-volume performance is essential for modern, large-scale facilities.
“It’s an incredibly versatile solution. Facilities today are expected to move more material safely and with fewer interruptions”, says Allan.
“A dust-free loading solution like this delivers consistent flow across different products and gives operators the stability they need to keep production on schedule. When it performs reliably under high volume conditions, it becomes part of the daily rhythm of the plant.”
Cimbria’s entire Moduflex range has been developed over many years to meet the demands of modern bulk loading, and the new Moduflex Dust-Free solution builds upon this foundation with a cleaner, more controlled approach to outloading.
The Type FT Multi-Outlet is compatible with all Moduflex Series 300 loading chutes. And the entire solution marks the next step in Cimbria’s commitment to delivering reliable, high-performance loading solutions for customers operating in demanding agricultural and industrial environments.
