Fogging systems in recycling operations
Recycling companies face the daily challenge of processing large quantities of a wide variety of materials. This inevitably results in significant dust and odor emissions. Especially in closed halls, dust not only affects the working atmosphere, but can also lead to health problems for employees. Odors from certain material flows also pose a problem, which can both worsen working conditions and cause significant nuisance to local residents.
the solution
In order to effectively meet these challenges, more and more recycling companies are turning to innovative solutions for dust and odor control. One particularly effective method is the NEBOLEX mist turbine with swivel function. This is permanently installed on one side wall of the hall. By moving it left and right to the desired stop point and adjusting the angle of inclination, the fine water mist can be distributed evenly throughout the entire hall. The tiny droplets bind even the smallest dust particles in the air. This can greatly reduce dust pollution.
The system used is an efficient fogging technology that requires only a very small amount of water. Furthermore, the control technology ensures very precise fog dosing at the desired positions.
In addition to significantly improving air quality, odour nuisance in the surrounding area is also reduced. The fine film of water envelops odour molecules and neutralises them before they can spread throughout the room. For employees, this means greater occupational safety, fewer health risks and a much more pleasant working environment.
In addition, the NEBOLEX fog turbine impresses with its versatile application possibilities. It is not only suitable for recycling halls, but also for other dusty or odor-intensive areas, such as wood processing, the metal industry, or bulk material handling. The system can be individually adapted to the conditions of the respective operation.
Conclusion:
With the NEBOLEX mist turbine, recycling companies are not only investing in clean air and safe working conditions, but also in greater efficiency and sustainability. Because less dust means less wear and tear, less cleaning – and therefore lower costs in the long term.

Water atomization for dust removal during waste wood processing.
Dust extraction systems in combined heat and power plants during the processing of waste wood of various grades. Delivered by truck, the material is conveyed into a feed hopper by means of a push floor unloading system. It is then transported further by huge grabs. These processes generate a considerable amount of dust, which poses a major hazard. Poor visibility due to dust increases the risk of accidents, such as near collisions or tragic collisions between vehicles and workers. In addition, high dust concentrations can impair technical equipment and trigger fire alarm systems, leading to operational interruptions and unnecessary costs.
Advantage: Water mist technology has proven to be an extremely effective method of binding dust.
Effective dust control
Special nozzles spray a fine mist of water directly onto the sources of dust. The mist binds the dust particles, increases their weight, and prevents them from being stirred up. This significantly improves the air quality in the plant and reduces hazardous dust concentrations.
Safe working environment
Lower dust exposure improves visibility and minimizes the risk of accidents for employees. This is particularly important as operating heavy machinery and vehicles in dusty environments can lead to dangerous situations.
Robust design
In this application, the nozzles were installed in sturdy stainless steel housings specially designed for the harsh conditions in combined heat and power plants. A specially manufactured steel armor along the feed hopper protects the spray bars from mechanical damage, such as from grapples, and ensures a long service life for the system.
Efficient use of water
Precise dosing of the water mist achieves effective dust binding without soaking the waste wood. This is crucial for maintaining material quality and plant efficiency.
Optimized system control
Monitoring and control of the system, combined with employee training, ensures the highest safety standards and maximum efficiency. Modern automation technologies make it possible to adjust the mist intensity to the dust load and minimize water consumption.
Prevention of false alarms
A reduced dust concentration prevents false alarms in fire alarm systems, which are often triggered by swirling particles. This contributes to uninterrupted operation and lower maintenance costs.
Conclusion
Dust binding with water mist is an essential solution for combined heat and power plants that process waste wood of various grades. It improves air quality, increases workplace safety, and reduces technical malfunctions. Thanks to its robust construction and targeted application of water mist, long-term operating costs are reduced and plant productivity is increased. In addition, the method helps to create an environmentally friendly and safe working environment—a decisive advantage for modern combined heat and power plants that must meet the highest safety and environmental standards.

High visibility vests for little kids
Safety for i-dolls
High visibility vests from NEBOLEX
Walking to school can be dangerous for the youngest pupils, especially in the dark winter months. Primary school children, who often wear dark clothing and are more difficult for drivers to see due to their short stature, are exposed to an increased risk of accidents. In addition, they often lack the experience to correctly assess dangerous situations. To increase the safety of the ABC pupils at Freiherr von Drais Primary School in Kirchberg, NEBOLEX Umwelttechnik GmbH has once again sponsored safety vests this year. On October 2, 2024, Managing Director Jan Frenzel and his employees presented each i-Dötzchen with a neon yellow safety vest. The vests are comfortable to wear over an anorak. Thanks to the eye-catching color and the extra-wide reflective stripes, the children are more visible in traffic. The initiative aims to prevent accidents and make the journey to school safer for our youngest children.

Dust binding measures in the gravel and natural stone works
The production of paving stones, bricks and other products in a natural stone factory leads to considerable dust generation. Nebolex Umwelttechnik GmbH was commissioned to install suitable dust control measures in order to comply with the strict official requirements for reducing dust emissions during the quarrying and processing operations. After a comprehensive on-site analysis and careful planning phase, the practical implementation began. A mobile dust binding machine was used during the blasting work in the quarry, which effectively prevented the dust from spreading far into the surrounding area. During further material processing in the crusher, spray fog bars were installed directly at the dust sources. These robust stainless steel bars with integrated mist nozzles are specially designed for use in demanding environments. The advanced nozzle technology enables cistern water to be atomized without small impurities or a high lime and salt content impairing the effectiveness of the dust suppression. Successful water spraying ensures maximum dust binding, which conserves resources.

The collection points for bulky waste and construction waste disposal in large cities sort delivered goods into different warehouses. Dust is inevitably produced when the individual building materials such as concrete, bricks, mortar and tiles are segmented.
Unfortunately, there is often little understanding and acceptance of this problem in the immediate vicinity. The poor air quality has a significant impact on daily life, which presents the affected companies with the challenge of finding an effective and economical solution.
A storage area was moved into the hall. The company commissioned effective measures from Nebolex Umwelttechnik to minimize dust. Dust binding machines were tested during an on-site visit. The decision was made in favor of the Elite 5040 mounted on a pantograph. This allows the entire area of the hall to be fogged. Dust formation is avoided and dust turbulence is prevented, ensuring the best possible protection of employees from dust exposure.
