Dust Fence for Material Handling Areas – Effective Wind & Dust Control Solution
Material handling areas—such as stockyards, conveyor belts, loading zones, and transfer points—are highly susceptible to dust generation due to wind exposure and material movement. This airborne dust can cause environmental pollution, health hazards, and operational inefficiencies. Installing a dust fence system offers a proven, passive solution to control dust dispersion in open material handling zones.
What is a Dust Fence?
A dust fence, also called a windbreak or wind fence, is a physical barrier system designed to reduce wind speed and trap airborne particulate matter. It uses specially engineered mesh or perforated panels to alter wind flow patterns, forcing heavier dust particles to settle close to the source, preventing them from spreading into surrounding areas.
Importance of Dust Fencing in Material Handling Zones
Prevents dust carryover from stockpiles and conveyors
Protects workers, equipment, and the environment
Reduces wear and tear on moving machinery and conveyor belts
Minimizes site-level dust complaints and regulatory penalties
Improves air quality and supports pollution control compliance

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do dust fences reduce airborne particles in handling zones?
By reducing wind speed, they prevent dust lift-off and force particles to settle near the source.
What materials are used in your dust fences?
Galvanized steel frames with HDPE wind mesh, aluminum perforated panels, or polymer-coated netting.
Can dust fences be installed around conveyors and crushers?
Yes, they are ideal for enclosing dusty transfer points, crushers, and open conveyor paths.
Are your dust fences compliant with environmental regulations?
Absolutely. They help meet CPCB and SPCB air quality control norms.
Do you offer site-specific engineering support?
Yes, we provide wind pattern analysis and CFD-based design to ensure performance.
