Screen misting
Water spraying on a discharge conveyor.
In a quartz plant in the northern part of Rhineland-Palatinate, we were faced with the challenge of minimizing dust turbulence and reducing the environmental impact. Here, rock is extracted from a quarry pond and then transported to a crusher using wheel loaders. The crushing and discharge of the crushed sand of grain size 0-2 led to considerable dust formation.
The basic cube, a semi-mobile supply unit from NEBOLEX, was used for the test setup. During test runs with fresh water, the system technology not only convinced the authorities, but also our customer. The system was later installed with a special filter technology that uses process water.
Material is fed in sporadically by the wheel loader and water spraying is controlled by ultrasonic sensors. As soon as the wheel loader passes the barrier, the fogging process starts at the crusher for a preset time. The start, water input and fogging time are precisely monitored and controlled.
The targeted use of water mist not only protects your employees, but also the environment and nature.
