Dust Suppression in Mining
Gold mining, an industry that has been the backbone of many economies, is not without its challenges. One such challenge, especially in the dry climates where many mines are located, is dust control. Not only is dust a nuisance, but it also poses serious health risks to workers and can erode equipment. This is where Spraying Systems' world leading dust control solutions can help.
Understanding the Gold Mining Dust Suppression Challenge
In the gold mining sector, areas like stockpiles are particularly prone to dust. As material is piled up, fine particles become airborne with the slightest breeze, leading to dust clouds.
Surface stabilisation, primarily achieved through regular watering and water spray techniques, becomes essential for dust control. Simply spraying water isn’t enough. The nozzles used play a pivotal role in ensuring the effectiveness of the dust suppression as droplet size is crucial to effective dust control.
Our experienced Sales engineers will be able to work with you to ensure the correct droplet size is achieved.
