Conveyor Belt Automated Transfer Point Fogging Dust Suppression System
Conveyor belt transfer points are a common source of airborne dust in mining operations. The Automated Transfer Point Fogging Dust Suppression System is a leading practice that reduces dust liberation at transfer points by applying a controlled, fine-water fog that captures dust particles at source.
This system is designed to operate automatically and consistently, ensuring dust suppression is applied when and where material transfer occurs. The fogging approach produces fine droplets that agglomerate with dust particles, reducing the amount of respirable dust entering the workplace atmosphere and improving air quality for employees working in and around conveyor routes.
Key benefits
- Reduction of airborne dust at conveyor belt transfer points
- Improved worker exposure control in high-dust areas
- Automated operation to support consistent application and reduced reliance on manual intervention
- Supports progress toward dust exposure milestones and Zero Harm objectives
The system can be applied at critical dust-generating transfer points across surface and underground conveyor networks, and forms part of an integrated dust control programme.
