When searching for the appropriate dust control equipment for your problem, the type of dust and where it came from is where you should start when looking for a solution.

If it is an indoor dust problem you are looking to solve and the result from a manufacturing process, then containment at the source is critical to solving the problem. If the dust that is created can be sprayed with water and reintegrated into your process, like coal mining, then a set of spray nozzles should be located where the creation of dust is mostly occurring. These places usually involve cutting, drilling or transporting of a material. While a variety of wetting agents exist, water is the most common form and is the most affordable.

If the dust cannot be reintegrated into the process, then a mechanical means to transport it out is required. This will involve a collection hood that channels the dust through a set of ducts. This suspends the dust in the air. Before the dust can fall out of the air, a collection tank is needed in the duct work. This is where the dust is separated from the air. A power supply is located at the end of the duct work. This is a fan that must have sufficient power to keep the particles airborne until the desired separation occurs in the designated area.

For outdoors problems, the task is much simpler. The typical problem is caused by soil. By maintaining the proper amount of moisture in the soil, most dust problems can be eliminated. For construction sites, the best piece of dust control equipment for this job is a tanker truck fitted with spray nozzles to wet the top soil.

The mister fan is another useful component. This is the same type of fan used on the sidelines of major sporting events to keep athletes cool. This same equipment can knock dust out of the air and can therefore solve the dust problem in a confined or limited area.

Additional information can be found regarding how an erosion control blanket can be used to keep dust contained, especially in construction areas where dust is most prevalent. Check out the Dust Stop Zone for more Free information.
