Fog Cannons

SOLUTIONS FOR DUST SUPPRESSION

Fog Cannons for Industrial Dust Control

Fog cannons are designed to suppress airborne dust in large open environments by projecting ultra-fine mist over long distances.
These systems are ideal for demolition sites, landfills, quarries, and bulk material handling areas.

Unlike conventional sprinklers, fog cannons do not oversaturate the ground.
They create a controlled mist zone that binds dust particles efficiently, helping reduce environmental emissions without disrupting site operations.

How It Works

For those unfamiliar with dust suppression systems, here’s a simple breakdown of how fog cannons operate:

  • Water Supply: The system connects to a tank or hydrant and typically includes filtration to protect the nozzles.
  • Pressure Pump: A medium- to high-pressure pump (up to 35 bar) delivers water to the nozzle ring for atomization.
  • Nozzle Ring: A circular array of precision nozzles atomizes water into fine droplets, creating a mist cloud optimized for dust capture.
  • High-Performance Fan: An integrated turbine or axial fan projects the mist over long distances. Depending on the model and fan size, throw ranges reach from 20 m up to 150 m.
  • Dust Suppression Zone: The mist captures and settles airborne dust without flooding the ground, ensuring efficient, clean, and safe operation in open-air or enclosed environments.

Where Fog Cannons Are Used?

Fog cannons are used in a wide range of industrial and environmental settings to suppress airborne dust, improve working conditions, and meet health and safety regulations.

Location Benefit
Demolition Sites Reduces dust clouds during structural tear-down and debris handling.
Mining & Quarrying Controls dust during blasting, crushing, and material transport operations.
Recycling Facilities Improves visibility and air quality around sorting and shredding equipment.
Landfills & Waste Yards Limits windborne particles and odors around open-air dumping areas.
Port Terminals Suppresses dust during loading and unloading of bulk materials like coal or cement.
Industrial Loading Zones Creates a safer working environment where trucks and equipment stir up fine dust.

Why Fog Cannons Are a Smart Investment

Fog cannon systems offer more than just dust suppression — they help companies stay compliant, protect worker health, and reduce cleanup efforts. For operations in mining, demolition, construction, or recycling, the ROI is often visible within months.

By controlling airborne dust at the source, fog cannons prevent dust from spreading across work zones and adjacent properties. This leads to improved air quality, fewer complaints, and lower maintenance costs for equipment and infrastructure.

Whether for regulatory reasons or operational efficiency, fog cannons contribute to a safer, cleaner, and more productive environment.

FAQ Fog Cannons

A fog cannon is a dust suppression machine that atomizes water into fine mist and projects it over long distances using a high-power fan. It’s used to capture airborne dust particles and bring them safely to the ground.
Water is pumped to a nozzle ring and atomized into micro-droplets. A turbine fan then propels the mist forward. As the mist passes through dusty air, it binds to fine particles, reducing emissions effectively without saturating the ground.
Fog cannons are designed to suppress dust emissions in open or semi-enclosed areas. They improve air quality, protect worker health, reduce maintenance on nearby machinery, and help meet environmental safety standards.
Industries such as mining, demolition, recycling, construction, cement, and ports use fog cannons to control dust. They are effective in environments where traditional water spraying is inefficient or creates excess runoff.
Depending on the model and fan size, fog cannons can reach distances from 20 to 150 meters. Large industrial units like the WLP 1200 can achieve a spray range of up to 150 m with 35 bar pressure.
Yes. Fog cannons are specifically developed for challenging environments like demolition and mining sites. They control dust during blasting, loading, and crushing operations without creating mud.
Fog cannons are water-efficient. A typical unit consumes between 20–100 liters per minute, depending on nozzle size and pressure. This is significantly less than traditional water spraying methods.
