CoolMist Systems Australia - Dust Suppression and Odour Control for Mining, Quarries and Industrial Environments

CoolMist Systems is Australia's leading fogging and misting specialists, providing climate and environmental control solutions for dust suppression, outdoor cooling and odour control.

Dust suppression systems for mining environments

Dust has a significant environmental impact in the mining industry. Activities such as earthworks, excavation, blasting, transportation and product processing can typically generate dust which can be exacerbated by dry climatic conditions and winds.

Miners and workers in dusty environments need to have reliable ways to limit the amount of dust they are exposed to on a daily basis. Dust particles pose serious health issues, decrease machinery performance and production quality, and can create significant pollution problems in neighbouring areas arising in complaints to regulatory authorities.

Dust particles can pose a serious respiratory health risk to employees with many studies showing the damage to workers' health caused by breathing in large amounts of dust for sustained periods of time. In some environments, simple breathing masks do not effectively eliminate the required amount of dust particles.

High-pressure atomised fogging systems

Increasing pressure from government regulatory authorities and the community means that measures to control dust have become important aspects of both operational and environmental management systems.

CoolMist Systems' high-pressure atomised fogging systems and our new revolutionary A-JET turbo fog units are designed specifically for effective dust control providing the mining industry with real solutions for dust management. These systems are customised to individual needs in order to prevent the nuisance of dust from impacting on the performance of your operation.

Turbo fog hydraulic dust suppression machines

CoolMist Systems are the exclusive Australian agent for Comac Environment’s range of hydraulic dust suppression machines.

Our A-JET turbo fog dust suppression system is an exclusive technology which has been engineered and manufactured for mining, large construction sites, quarries and the process industries.

A-JET technology is the most sophisticated yet simple-to-use system with the largest range of dust suppression configurations and options available on the market today. The range includes fixed or self-contained mobile machines, trailer or crawler mounted, completed by diesel generators, water pumps and water tanks.

Over 20 hydraulic dust suppression machines have been engineered to cover small internal areas to large industry. Current misting models cover from 20m² to over 13,000m².

The complete range is manufactured in MODULES to enable variations and upgrades even after the initial purchase. The range has been developed through extensive aerodynamic studies and testing and has by far the lowest energy consumption worldwide.

Our hydraulic dust and odour suppression machines are suitable for quarries, recycling plants, construction and demolition sites, cement plants, ready-mix plants, road and tunnel construction, ports and stock yards, steel mills and foundries, compost production sites, waste disposal sites and wood recycling.

A-JET Turbo Fog more efficient than traditional methods:

• Proven capability to suppress aero-dispersed dust from a minimum of 50% to 92%
• 100% remote controlled and entirely programmable
• Eliminates personnel costs employed to spray the work site with a tank truck
• Eliminates mud and wasted water issues by emitting only the water necessary to suppress dust
• Uses in average 1/20th of the water employed by traditional irrigation systems
• Has a strong impact on public health and environmental control agencies
• The lack of dust decreases your machine’s maintenance costs
• Easily installed on any vehicle
• Programming the A-JET unit permits to work alone or integrated in a group with other units, to operate as a dust defeating unit for the whole area
• Consistent health and environmental benefits

Misting and fogging systems for dust particle removal

Our systems deliver a mist / fog of very fine water droplets, produced as clouds of mist.

When applied to your dust problem our high-pressure pumps can deliver atomised water droplets as low as 10mµ in size. These droplets are so fine they float through the cloud of dust particles, binding them together and creating a heavy mass which drops to the ground reducing dust nuisance without wetting the area.

This size water droplet provides optimum performance for attraction and suppression of dust particles. The misting / fogging systems can effectively remove breathable and fugitive dust particles from 1mµ - 100mµ.The water droplets can be dispersed across most types of material to bond with dust particles assisting in the dust suppression process.

CoolMist customise systems so fog can be applied to whole buildings, individual areas or selected plant equipment to deliver the correct amount of fog for the required application. The system is extremely flexible allowing it to be easily expanded or moved. This is ideal for Companies that are expanding operations or moving into larger or newer premises at a later date.

Benefits of the CoolMist System include:

• Effectively captures dust particles as small as PM10 or less leaving the air breathable
• Distributes fog evenly, separating the fog particles as they form which prevents wetting
• Increases equipment performance and reliability
• Increases production quality
• Decreases machinery maintenance costs through dust reduction with less wear and tear on equipment
• Increases visibility and reduce dust irritation to workers on-site
• Saves man hours on clean-up
• Does not wet your surrounds therefore your stock, machinery and personnel stay dry
• Reduces the risk of dust explosion and fire
• Reduces unpleasant odours
• Improves relations with neighbours
• Creates a cooler environment for your workers
