Meet DSH: Pioneers in Dust Prevention
Continued Success.
The hopper proved a near instant success after its installation at Ravensdown. Truck drivers, team members and visitors alike didn’t believe that something could actually be done about the level of dust at the plant, but Trevor proved them wrong with his simple, autonomous system that required no utilities, minimal maintenance or expertise to install, and the hopper was quickly nicknamed the "magic bucket" by those who witnessed it in action.
Starting initially with a single size and material, DSH has since expanded its range to 10 different sizes, and 4 different construction materials, as well as introduced a closed in “TARDIS” model, and various customisation options such as flanged, flat sided and square hoppers, as well as continuing to calibrate the system until its near perfect.
Since its conception in 2004, DSH has now grown to having agents in over 20 countries, and with their help, have installed thousands of hoppers worldwide.
Where We Started.
DSH hopper systems are the invention of Trevor Schwass, who was asked to formulate an idea to aid in reducing dust and improve the air quality at a fertiliser plant in Hawkes Bay, New Zealand.
The site was suffering from huge amounts of dust that was created during loading, that engulfed the yard and made machinery and workers almost invisible. So, In 2004, after several years of designing, tinkering and fine-tuning, our award winning dust suppression hopper was born.
