Etex – Gypsum Dust Control for Plasterboard Manufacturing: Bristol Rock Store & Crushing Operations
Specialized Gypsum Dust Suppression Delivers Long-Term Success at Global Plasterboard Manufacturer
Challenge:
Etex, one of the world’s largest plasterboard manufacturers with 101 production sites globally, faced critical dust control issues at their Bristol plant’s Rock Store and Crushing Area during gypsum delivery and movement operations. Annual dust surveys identified the area as a significant concern. Gypsum presents unique challenges as one of the most difficult dust types to control – being highly moisture-sensitive while producing substantial dust volumes, requiring precise fog ratios and specialized expertise.
