Product Gallery: Astec Industries Enhances Fiberbed Mist Collector with Charcoal Filters for Improved Odor Control

Astec Industries, Chattanooga, announced in August the integration of charcoal filters into its renowned, patent-pending Fiberbed Mist Collector. This enhancement improves the system’s ability to capture and eliminate odor-causing compounds, delivering air quality and community satisfaction for asphalt facilities.

Astec’s Fiberbed Mist Collector captures and cleans blue smoke generated during silo or loadout operations. With the addition of charcoal filters, the system now offers a more comprehensive approach to odor control. By trapping and neutralizing odor-causing compounds, the charcoal filters reduce detectable odors emanating from the facility, fostering a more pleasant work environment and strengthening community relations.

“We are committed to providing our customers with industry-leading solutions that address their environmental challenges,” said Catherine Sutton-Choate, director of environmental compliance at Astec Industries. “The integration of charcoal filters into our Fiberbed Mist Collector is a testament to our dedication to innovation and our customers’ success.”

Blue smoke, caused by the condensation of asphalt fumes, has long been a source of frustration for asphalt facilities. Astec’s Blue Smoke System, which includes the Fiberbed Mist Collector, effectively controls emission opacity by limiting the escape of vaporized asphalt fumes into the atmosphere.
