While in the past, environmental safeguards were not an issue, today ports worldwide consider the prevention of pollution a key objective. This is especially true for the import and export of dry bulk cargo, such as coal, grain, iron ore and fertilizer, etc., because of the risk of spillage and dust production. Problems can occur during loading and discharging operations, as well as when material is transferred to storage at the port. To achieve a reduction of emissions, the first step could be the use of environmentally-friendly bulk handling equipment. As a result of its R&D into green technology, Bedeschi Spa, a global supplier of crushing and handling machines for the cement and mining industries, steel factories, coal and others industrial processes, has been able to design and produce machines that incorporate sophisticated dust control measures and are able to reach the highest environmental standards.
