The Mist-air Solution:

mist-air is able to produce a micro fine fog that  creates no wetting in this moisture sensitive environment.  High level mist-air fan assisted   manifolds are located to suppress airborne  dust and silica as they are created and also to remove this background build-up of dust from various processes on site this can be from ill-fitting guards, air movement or vehicle movement. mist-air also treat localised areas such as waste belts and waste skips.

 

The mist-air system at Todhills Works was installed in 2015 to control airborne respirable silica created in the clay prep, transfer cars and setter area .
