The days of relying on just water for mining dust suppression are long gone.\u00a0<\/span>And the humble H2O has always been less than ideal for the job.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mainly due to its surface tension, the smallest, most harmful particles simply bounce off water\u2019s surface.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meaning no matter how much of it you buy and spray around, its efficiency will stay the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

But as technology has advanced, so has the world of dust control.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More efficient and effective solutions are now available in modern mining, construction and agricultural settings, where controlling dust is part of the job.<\/span><\/p>\n

Water is making way for more chemical and polymer-based products, which can cut down on fugitive dust and the consumption of vital water resources.<\/span><\/p>\n

Proven to make massive gains in rugged applications, from pit to port, the new generation of dust suppression technology<\/a> provides industrial operators with a huge leg up in the performance and connectivity of their dust control methods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Introducing IoT and Automated Dust Control<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With the leaps and bounds in technology like the Internet of Things (IoT) and automation<\/a>, dust suppression was bound to see some flow-on benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are a few of the ways that interconnection and automation are changing the face of dust suppression for the better:<\/span><\/p>\n

Enhanced Real-time Monitoring:<\/b> IoT sensors can be used sit-wide to monitor dust levels in real time, allowing operators to adjust dust suppression systems to meet changing needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Predictive Maintenance Improvements:<\/b> Connected IoT sensors can also be used to monitor the performance of dust suppression equipment, predicting when maintenance is needed before a costly breakdown occurs. This pays dividends In sectors where reducing downtime is crucial.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Remote Control Operation:<\/b> IoT technology can remotely control dust suppression systems, allowing operators to adjust settings and turn systems on and off from a remote location. This can improve both efficiency and health and safety outcomes for onsite staff.<\/span><\/p>\n

Precise Data Analytics:<\/b> Interconnected IoT devices can collect and analyse dust levels and suppression performance data, providing insights for optimising dust suppression systems and improving overall performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

GRT SMART Dosing Units\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Global Road Technology\u2019s Smart Dosing Units are making the most of polymer and IoT technology advances.<\/span><\/p>\n

The units provide operators with cutting-edge dust suppression solutions to maximise performance while reducing water use and capturing critical data for further improvements.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sustainable, Mining, Autonomously, Reporting, Technology or SMART units are the leading solution on haul roads, providing remotely controlled and automated product dosage, error detection, flow rates, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n
