Fog Cannon® is one of the most important new devices for dust suppression: it is very effective against the particles produced by mining, materials handling, waste disposal, demolition, stock piles, port facilities, construction and many other applications. 

ECOLOGY developed this system not only based on our 25 years experience with fog cannons, but also thanks to extensive studies, calculation models and tests carried out by the Polytechnic University of Milan.

The Fog Cannon® 

• has been designed to solve the dust problem in open areas such as open cast mines, tunnel drilling operations, quarry works, street works or any bulk material handling industrial process;
• has been developed and tested by the engineering department of ECOLOGY in cooperation with the university POLITECNICO DI MILANO;
• is a patent product which guarantees the suppression of airborne dust up to 90%;
• is currently in use for removing dust or to prevent the formulation of dust by agglomerating the flying powder. Its use today includes stockpiles, reclamation operations, railcar dumps, etc;
• has been designed to guarantee the lowest possible water consumption, often just 25% of the traditional spraying de-dust systems;
• efficiency can be easily increased by introducing chemical surfactants to quickly capture the airborne powder and settle it down to the ground;
• is also used for ordering treatment, firefighting, chemical dispersing, irrigation, etc.
