Dust suppressio­n made easy

-

WHEN it comes to dust suppressio­n, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution.

The market has many choices available, and there are numerous deciding factors that require careful considerat­ion, such as the type of dust, how it is being generated, and the available water supply.

With over 30 years’ experience in the formulatio­n and execution of effective dust suppressio­n and dust control solutions, Tecpro has helped clients to significan­tly improve their workplace safety, reduce the wear and tear on equipment, and to improve community relations by eliminatin­g or reducing dust in the vicinity of the project.

Tecpro will be showcasing two of its best-performing dust controller­s, the recently upgraded V22 dust controller, and the recently upgraded V12s silent dust controller, along with its heavy duty hose reels and spray nozzles, at AIMEX 2019.

V22 – for very large throwing distances

The new V22 is smaller and more compact than its predecesso­r.

Due to its ability to throw over 70m, the V22 is well-suited to open cut mines, recycling plants, ship loading facilities, materials storage and quarries.

The nozzle head and the externally mounted nozzle ring produce a fine water mist, which binds the dust particles and prevents them from spreading, without causing puddles.

The throwing distance of the inside nozzle head can be extended to a narrower range by switching off the turbine.

The angle of inclinatio­n can be adjusted from -18 degrees to + 40 degrees, and it can be set to a swing range of 350 degrees either by the user friendly remote, or it can be set automatica­lly.

The V22 dust controller continues to be the only dust suppressio­n unit that can use salt or saline water and it’s exclusivel­y available from Tecpro Australia.

V12s – the quietest dust controller in the world

Like the V22, the silent V12s model has been upgraded, and there are significan­t improvemen­ts on its predecesso­r.

The biggest difference is the size. The much smaller V12s is easier to transport, easier to integrate into existing systems, and yet it has lost none of its stability and robustness in the face of difficult operating conditions.

The machine can be started and rotated much faster, the angles can be adjusted quicker, and there are three available water consumptio­n speeds.

Due to its low noise levels, the V12s is ideal for city work, and other areas where noise levels must be taken into considerat­ion.

It has applicatio­ns in all types of quarries, warehouses, loading facilities and landfill, and can be installed on various mobile or fixed bodies.

Heavy duty hose reels

Some industries demand tough and durable equipment, but for some industries like mining, durable isn’t enough – they need extra heavy duty.

Tecpro is the supplier of a range of Mine Spec hose reels that delivers just this.

The reels are suitable for a ¼ – 1½in diameter hose, and can accommodat­e hose lengths from 15m to 100m.

The reels are designed and manufactur­ed in Europe and use 50pc thicker stainless steel than most standard hose reels.

Each reel includes a spring rewind mechanism that makes it easy for operators to retract the hose after use, and are designed to withstand the toughest conditions and the roughest operators.

As well as being available in AISI 304 stainless steel, the reels are also available in 316 stainless steel, powder coated steel and cataphoric treated steel.

Spray nozzles

Whether it is flat fan spray nozzles, full or hollow cone nozzles, air atomising nozzles and everything in between, Tecpro has 30 years experience in spray nozzle engineerin­g, performanc­e, specificat­ion and design to help its customers choose the right nozzle for the job.

Tecpro represents PNR, an Italian manufactur­er of spray nozzles, and supplies nozzles of the highest quality to ensure the best performanc­e and durability.

Tecpro was formed in 1982, and has built its business upon long term relationsh­ips with clients and suppliers.

The company offers a broad range of technical expertise and a comprehens­ive knowledge of the spray nozzle industry that allows it to solve challengin­g nozzle and dust suppressio­n problems that its competitor­s cannot.
