Idrotech Elefante fog maker

Idrotech’s Elefante fog maker can be used to combat dust problems at mine sites.

The fog maker works by shooting a strong, continuous plume of fine mist or fog up to 60 m long. Because the fog particles are similar in dimension to the dust particles, they combine easily with one another and, aided by gravity, fall to the ground. It is suitable in open cut mining environments and building and road construction sites where dust is a significant problem.

The fine mist spray is propelled by a fan, upon which three concentric nozzle rings are mounted. A wide range of nozzles of different capacities can be fitted to the rings, providing the right water volume to suit the situation or environmental condition.

The mist droplets generated are fine and they evaporate quickly, which avoids problems associated with water pooling or runoff.

The device can be mounted on a wheeled trolley or fitted to a concrete base or trailer.
