Underground Dust Suppression In Mines

Dust Control is particularly critical during underground operations. Left unchecked fugitive dust emissions create a hazardous working environment and left unchecked, the accumulation over time will lead to operational difficulties and further dust issues.

Our low-moisture Dust Suppression Technologies, are able to treat the material at source and ensure it remains treated, throughout its journey through the conveying system and eventually above ground.

Our systems are straightforward to install with minimal downtime.

In our experience, we have been approached by clients using plain water suppression systems, who are either not achieving adequate results or they are using copious amounts of water.

In other cases, mines are built with comprehensive dust extraction systems. Dust extraction / collection systems typically collect the dust and then deposit it back on the belt. This approach requires collectors to be installed at every transfer point, resulting in high capital costs. Moving the dust from one transfer point to the next is moving the problem and as dust content rises, the collectors can struggle to adequately cope.
