Applications

Dust suppression systems for industrial manufacturers

Overview

Suppression of dust emissions is crucial in some manufacturing processes. There is a wide range of dust particles that can contaminate a production process such a fugitive dust, organic dust, mineral dust, metallic dust, chemical dust, biohazard particle, etc., which can reach a diameter from 1 to 100 µm in size. All these airborne dust particles need adequate dust control measure as they move in a room (indoor or outdoor) differently depending on their size and the influence of gravity.

As a nozzle manufacturer, we offer effective dust suppression solution with our industrial spray nozzles to control dust particles in factories.

Issues related to dust emissions in working environment

Why do you need dust control measure?

  • Dust related defects
  • Decreased productivity
  • Increased maintenance
  • Airborne contamination
  • Substance contamination (powder form)
  • Loss of raw material (powder form)
  • Safety hazard

Implementing a dust control measure has a double objective. It will not only reduce operating costs and improve the production processes by avoiding dust contamination, ESD sparks, dust related defects and repairs, but it will also considerably improve the working environment for operators.

Solution: Dust control equipment by spraying Semi-Dry Fog® to Dry Fog

Airborne dust particles can cause a range of issues and are difficult to contain, especially in outside environments. Suppressing or containing dust can be done by either lightly wetting the substance you wish to contain or by fogging.

When suppressing dust via fogging, our dust suppression systems spray small water droplets the same size as dust particles. These water droplets collide with the dust particles mid-air and weigh them to the ground. We use our high-quality pneumatic nozzles and humidification units to spray a fine fog or Dry Fog as dust suppression products.

Solutions

Examples of dust suppression products used for this application

Efficient suppression of dust

Pneumatic nozzles are capable of dust suppression without significantly wetting the environment. They spray a droplet size between 40 – 80 µm in large volume swiftly.

AKIMist® dry fog system

AKIMist sprays the finest mist of all our dust suppression solutions. The Dry Fog has an average droplet size of 10 μm or less. AKIMist is especially useful for dust suppression in indoor areas which contain expensive machinery and furniture.

Advantages of AKIMist:

  • Energy-efficient
  • Little maintenance
  • Non-wetting
  • Easy to install
