Dust Suppression
Industry Dust Supperssion Systems
mist-air is a flexible dust and odour suppression system, which can be adapted to suit all sizes of buildings or operations. It is easily fitted to any site and can be retro-fitted to existing operating sites, ensuring a dust and odour free environment.
The Unique mist-air Dry Fog Dust Suppression System
mist-air has the flexibility to suppress dust and odours in areas where extraction is simply not possible or affordable.
Currently mist-air is used in thousands of manufacturing and recycling applications, suppressing dust from wood, brick, soil, cement, paper, gypsum, ash, glass, biomass, coal, etc. using only atomised water.
Not to be confused with lines of jets in the roof, Fog cannons, Air jets, or Rotary atomisers. Mist-Air have a 40 year proven track record of satisfied customers using a dust suppresion system that is effective, controlable and reliable with a 20 year corrosion warranty.
Extremely fine fog is blown into an ever expanding cloud by stainless steel fans into the air, suppressing rising dust and preventing it from becoming airborne.
Dust particles are attracted to the fog, causing them to settle, and prevent them from staying airborne, so is ideal for preventing dust created during tipping, hopper loading, shredding, trommels, screens, air knives, conveyor transfer points, bulker loading etc. Floors, machinery and stock, stay completely dry and personnel can work in the fog without becoming wet.

Improving airflow and removing harmful dust is essential for a healthy workplace
Dust suppression systems offer significant advantages for a variety of industries, improving workplace safety, environmental compliance, and overall operational efficiency. Here are some of the key benefits:
- Improved Air Quality: Drastically reduces airborne dust particles, promoting healthier working conditions for employees and surrounding areas.
- Compliance with Regulations: Helps businesses meet local and national environmental regulations, avoiding fines and sanctions.
- Enhanced Safety: Minimises dust-related hazards, such as silica and explosions in high-risk industries, by controlling the amount of dust in the air.
- Equipment Longevity: Reduces the wear and tear on machinery and equipment by preventing dust accumulation, leading to fewer breakdowns.
- Cost Savings: Decreases the need for extensive cleaning and maintenance efforts, saving time and money in the long run.
- Boosted Productivity: Improves visibility and air quality on-site, allowing workers to perform their tasks more efficiently.
- Costs: Installed at a fraction of the cost of extraction systems.LEV Electricity running costs are approximatley 6% of an average small extraction system, and maintenance is minimal.
Analysis by mist-air
Analysis by
mist-air
A dust suppression analysis is a process in which business owners gain a clear understanding of the impact of dust on their operations and how controlling it can enhance safety, compliance, and efficiency. Engineers, environmental specialists, and safety professionals often conduct this analysis for both for-profit and nonprofit organizations.
- Objective: Identify the sources and causes of dust emissions in various environments (industrial, mining, construction sites).
- Dust characterization: Analyzing the type of dust particles, including their size, composition, and potential health or environmental impact.
- Emission sources: Identifying primary areas where dust is generated, such as material handling, transportation, and processing areas.
- Environmental monitoring: Using sensors and equipment to monitor dust levels in the air, including real-time data collection and analysis.
- Regulatory compliance: Ensuring dust suppression techniques meet local, national, or international environmental regulations, particularly with airborne respirable silica.
- Control measures: Evaluating the effectiveness of various dust suppression methods, such as water spraying, chemical dust suppressants, or mechanical systems.
How We Help Different Sectors
