Built-in dust suppression: A crushers best friend

In the construction, hard landscaping and groundwork industries, crushers play a vital role in breaking down large chunks of material into smaller, more manageable pieces, ready for reuse, sale or disposal. However, there is one challenge that often arises during this process: dust. The release of airborne particles during crushing can pose health hazards to workers and nearby communities. That's where the built-in dust suppression system in our CR300 and CR400 Crushers comes to the rescue.

The health and safety of workers should always be a top priority on any work site. By integrating a dust suppression system into our crushers, harmful dust particles are effectively controlled and prevented from becoming airborne. This significantly reduces the risk of respiratory issues and other health problems caused by dust inhalation.

The impact of dust extends beyond the immediate work area, potentially affecting nearby communities and the environment. A built-in dust suppression system curbs the dispersion of dust particles, minimising the environmental footprint of crushing operations. By keeping dust levels low, it contributes to a cleaner and healthier surrounding environment.

Construction projects must comply with strict environmental regulations to safeguard public health and maintain sustainable practices. Many regions have regulations in place that limit dust emissions from construction sites. By incorporating a dust suppression system, the Dragon Equipment crushers can easily meet these standards, avoiding potential fines and penalties.

Dust accumulation can have a detrimental effect on machinery, leading to reduced performance and increased maintenance requirements. The dust suppression system helps keep the internal components of the crushers clean and free from debris, ensuring optimal performance and extending the machine's lifespan.

Dust can also interfere with the visibility and working conditions of operators, reducing their productivity. A dust suppression system minimises airborne particles, allowing operators to work in a safer and more comfortable environment. Improved visibility and air quality lead to increased productivity, ultimately saving time and resources on projects.

Using a standard garden hose as the water source for the dust suppression system makes it highly cost-effective. The availability of water on sites is generally abundant, and utilising this readily accessible resource eliminates the need for additional complex and expensive equipment. The cost savings achieved can be redirected to other crucial aspects of the project.
