During the mineral extraction and crushing processes, dust is released in to the environment at different volumes during the unloading, conveying, screening, stacking and loading operations. The volume of dust is dependent upon the nature of the mineral, the materials moisture content and percentage of fine particles.

Typically, water is added at numerous points throughout the process to increase the dust extinction moisture content (DEM) of the material. Large volumes of water are required which can lead to material handling issues.

Using Hi-Foam greatly reduces water addition requirements whilst treating a much larger volume of material with dust suppression being delivered throughout the whole material supply chain.
