Dust-A-Side’s high pressure mist systems are just one of our innovative solutions designed to suppress dust in a wide range of applications. These systems produce a high concentration of 10-micron droplets in a mist that can be directed at areas that produce a high concentration of airborne dust.
Solutions for preventing black lung disease in mining
Prevention is better than cure, because there simply is no cure The world breathed a collective sigh of relief twenty years ago when the dreaded black lung disease was thought to have been eradicated once and for all. However, this occupational lung disease – known more formally as coal workers’ pneumoconiosis – is back, and steps must be taken immediately to prevent its spread.
[Case Study] Road management system creates more fuel savings and cost reductions for mine roads
Poorly managed haul roads are proven to adversely affect fuel economy and total road user costs as well as being a major maintenance and safety factor. In a special case study commissioned by Dust-A-Side and conducted by a leading tyre manufacturer, Michelin at CEMA (Centre of Excellence Michelin Almeria) at their open air laboratory test centre in Spain, the impact of Dust-A-Side’s haul road management system on the fuel consumption of rigid dump trucks was assessed.
How to increase the life of your haul truck tyres
If there’s one thing every mine site superintendent knows about haul truck tyres, it’s: “The more they turn, the more we earn.” This notion is important because with each tyre costing at least R750k, the cost of replacing haul road tyres is one of the major expenditures in any mining operation. With our haul road management services, it all comes down to where the rubber meets the road.
How to achieve effective dust control for tailing dams
Achieving effective dust control for tailing dams can be real a headache for mine operators. Control measures not only need to be cost-efficient, but operationally effective too. In this article, we’ll take a look at how to best achieve dust control at tailing dam sites on an ongoing basis.
How to achieve effective dust control on construction sites
Constructions sites of all sizes and types pose a unique set of dust control challenges. There are numerous ways dust can be generated and each dust generation point needs to be dealt with separately.
