13 Comparison Stationary samples were taken in relatively the same locations on # 3 conveyor belt in the Secondary crusher, at the Dome mine. Samples collected in the Secondary were for a period of 10 minutes. The Scrubber system was operational, however a maintenance personnel had indicated that it wasn’t functioning properly. (most likely plugged)

19 As the material passes through the HX410, the dust particles are electrostatically charged and captured on the hood. A vibrator installed on the hood will activate periodically to remove the built up material.
