Fine Mist Technology
Special fog nozzles atomize water into droplets (10–50 microns) that bind to dust particles and force them to settle.
DUST SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS
Dust Suppression System for Stacker and Reclaimer
tacker and reclaimer machines are essential in coal handling plants, power plants, steel plants, cement plants, and bulk material yards, but they are also major sources of fugitive dust.
Dust suppression systems designed for stackers and reclaimers prevent airborne dust emissions during stacking and reclaiming operations, improving worker safety, environmental compliance, and equipment life.
How Our Dust Suppression System Works
Our system uses high-pressure fogging technology and automated dust control mechanisms to capture dust at the source
Strategic Nozzle Placement
Installed at boom ends, discharge chutes, and transfer points where dust generation is highest.
Automated Control
Equipped with PLC integration, wind sensors, and humidity detectors for optimized water usage.
Water Conservation
Uses 30–50% less water than traditional sprinkler systems, reducing runoff and conserving resources.
System Design and Components
- Pump Options – Low/medium-pressure misting: 50–150 PSI (3.4–10.3 bar) or high-pressure fogging: 500–1500 PSI (35–100 bar); system flow: 20–200 LPM (application dependent).
- Stainless Steel or Polymer Fog Nozzles – Anti-clog design for consistent misting.

How to Choose Dust Suppression at Stacker & Reclaimer
Identify the Main Dust Sources
For effective Dust Suppression at Stacker & Reclaimer, start by mapping where dust is generated:
- Stacker boom discharge zone
- Reclaimer bucket wheel / cutting zone
- Transfer chutes, skirt boards, and conveyor feed points
- Stockyard wind-lift zones (open piles)
Select the Right Technology for Your Site
The best Dust Suppression for Stacker Reclaimer depends on moisture tolerance and dust intensity:
- Low/medium-pressure misting: good for enclosed chutes and transfer points
- High-pressure fogging: finer droplets for better capture with lower wetting
- Dry fog (twin-fluid): for moisture-sensitive operations
Choose Droplet Size Based on Dust Type
- Coal fines and very dry materials may need finer fog
- Clinker, limestone, and heavier dust can work well with optimized misting
Correct droplet selection improves capture efficiency and reduces water use.
Ensure Proper Filtration and Water Quality
Reliable Dust Control in Stacker systems need clean water:
- Use multi-stage filtration for fog nozzles
- Add flushing routines to prevent clogging and maintain spray quality
Plan Coverage and Nozzle Placement Carefully
Nozzle placement is the difference between “spraying water” and real dust control:
- Target the dust plume at boom discharge and chute exits
- Use corrosion-resistant mounts for outdoor and vibrating points
Decide the Right Automation Level
For consistent Dust Suppression at Stacker & Reclaimer, controls can include:
- Manual + timer control
- Conveyor interlock (spray only when running)
- PLC/SCADA integration with zoned valves and optional VFD control

FAQs – Dust Suppression for Stackers and Reclaimers
How effective is the system in windy conditions?
The system uses directional nozzles and wind-compensating sensors to ensure efficient dust capture.
Will it wet the material excessively?
No. The mist is ultra-fine and prevents over-wetting while binding dust particles effectively.
Can the system integrate with existing automation?
Yes. Our system supports PLC/SCADA integration for seamless automation.
Is it suitable for outdoor stockyards?
Absolutely. Our system is designed to withstand harsh weather and marine environments.
What filtration is needed for fogging nozzles?
Fine fog nozzles require proper filtration to prevent clogging and maintain consistent mist quality—filtration selection depends on water quality.
How do you control dust in windy stockyards?
Wind is managed using directional sprays, zoning, and correct mounting at the dust source. In open yards, wind-based logic can be added where required.
Where should nozzles be installed for Dust Control in Stacker areas?
Common locations include the stacker boom discharge point, chute outlet, skirt zones, and conveyor transitions where dust plumes form.
What is the best method for Dust Suppression for Stacker Reclaimer operations?
The most effective approach is source capture—spraying fine mist/fog at boom discharge, transfer chutes, and reclaiming zones to prevent dust from becoming airborne.
