Dust Suppression for Processing Plants
High-pressure fog/dust curtains and dust blasters engineered for crushers, screens, sorting lines, recycling plants, and heavy industrial environments.
Plant-Wide Dust Control
Introduction
Processing plants are high-activity zones where material is constantly breaking, dropping, crushing, transferring, or colliding — all of which create fine, airborne dust. This dust spreads rapidly through work areas, settles on equipment, and becomes a serious safety, health, and compliance risk.
Misting SA designs high-pressure dust suppression systems specifically for these demanding environments, ensuring dust is captured instantly and kept under control throughout the production process.
Why dust control is critical in processing plants
Workplace safety
Dust reduces visibility around crushers, screens, and conveyor chutes — increasing accident risk.
Health & compliance
Fine particles (PM10 / PM2.5) cause respiratory illness and must be controlled to meet regulatory limits.
Equipment protection
Dust accelerates bearing failures, motor overheating, electrical faults, clogged filters and sensors. A clean plant runs longer, safer, more efficiently.
Production efficiency
Less dust = fewer stoppages, lower maintenance, cleaner products, stable throughput.
How our systems work
Processing plants create different types of dust, so each zone requires a specific suppression method. Misting SA uses ultra-fine high-pressure mist to bind airborne particles at the exact moment they are released.
Fog/dust curtains (localised control)
Installed around crushers, screens, transfer points, hoppers, chutes and sorting stations. These systems form a "mist barrier" that captures dust before it escapes.
Dust blasters (extended-reach control)
Used for large open processing floors, outdoor plant sections, and multiple-generation dust sources. Dust Blasters project fine droplets over 25–110 m, ideal for larger plant areas.
Ultra-fine droplets (5–25 microns)
Matched to dust particle sizes for maximum collision efficiency — without wetting material or machinery.
High-pressure pump stations (70–100 bar)
Engineered for industrial duty cycles and equipped with auto-flush filtration, stainless steel fittings, stable pressure regulation, and automation options.
