> Dustwell Pty Ltd (ACN 703 369 493) is the Australian distributor of DustCone hoppers. DustCone Hopper Systems is a Malaysian maker of passive, fully mechanical dust-suppression hoppers for bulk loading. We are the local contact for enquiries, supply and ongoing support, working Australia-wide from Victoria.

Key facts:
- DustCone hoppers hang on springs around a fixed cone. The weight of material opens a gap, squeezes out entrained air and delivers a consolidated column with less dust.
- No power, filters, compressed air or control system. No consumables. Very low maintenance.
- Suited to free-flowing bulk materials: grain, fertiliser, soda ash, sulfur, minerals and wood pellets. Cohesive, damp or unusual materials are assessed case by case.
- Used at truck, train and ship loading, silos and storage bays. Units are built for up to 3,500 t/h.
- DC series (open-top retrofit) and FT series (flanged top), built to order in mild steel, SS304, SS316L, polyurea-lined or Hardox.
- Each unit is sized to a flow rate and tracks the feed within about 10 to 15% of it. Sizing uses flow rate, bulk density and particle size range; Dustwell aims to return sizing within 2 business days.
- Prices are quoted per project. Dustwell offers a free compatibility check and free site visits anywhere in Australia.
