Warehouse Dust Control

Dust Suppression in a Warehouse

Many processes need to receive vast volumes of bulk materials. Often this arrives on lorries and is rapidly discharged off the vehicle, 25 tonnes at a time. If there is any dust in the material, this will rapidly go airborne. Often, there is so much dust in the air that it is no longer possible to see across the building.

Similarly, once the material has been delivered, it is then moved using front loaders, which again lift even more dust. This condition is neither acceptable for your workforce and is in fact outlawed under the Environmental Protection Act and The Health and Safety Act. A visit from either inspectorate would result in an Improvement Notice as a minimum and in extreme cases, a Prohibition Notice.

To resolve this, one option would be to fit a dust collector system to the building and clean the air. Such a solution is expensive and uses a lot of power, costing a lot to operate.

Fog Solves Airborne Dust Problem

By fitting a Renby MicronFog^TM system, the fog rapidly mixes with the dust. The dust particles stick to the water droplet, become heavy and drop out of the air. A dusty building will clear in minutes when it is protected by fog.

A grid of nozzles are fitted in the roof, away from any machinery and maintain a background level of fog which protects the building continuously. The capital costs are a fraction of alternative techniques, and the power consumed is minimal when compared to other approaches.
