Wind fence plus fog on a Front Loader Discharge Hopper
A Front Loader Discharge procidure is is similar to what we see on truck dumps, a large amount of material being dumped in few seconds. It is also an application that is exposed to winds, but the dust control strategy doesn't change from any other application where a passive (Containment) and and active (ADSTM Dry Fog Dust Suppression System) systems must work together to get solve the dust problem. A windfence could be the correct way to add the passive part of the dust control system. Similar to what we suggest on unloading hoppers at Ports, a windfence will give containment and retention time to the Dust Suppression System agglomerate the particules and control the dust.
