ACE Plant have probably the widest range of Dust Suppression systems available for hire in the United Kingdom, including a full range of mobile water tankers and tractors for dust suppression on haul roads, rock faces, stock piles, construction and demolition sites. All tankers are built to customers' individual requirements, including livery. Our large hire fleet of various sizes of dust suppression tankers from 250 gallons up to 3,000 gallons. Ex-demo/hire vehicles always available for sale.

Because they're ACE they are of the highest quality and these operational advantages:

  • Tanker barrels rolled from high quality 6mm and 8mm steel plate
  • All steel complies EN/BS100025 standard
  • Production programme BS5750 ISO9002 quality assured
  • Full length chassis
  • Sprung drawbars on 1600+ gallon units
  • Heavy duty swivel hitch on 1600+ gallon units
  • Side mounted wash down port
  • Heavy duty P.T.O. or hydraulic vacuum pumps
  • Side mounted access ladder
  • Quick release coupling on manual fill valves
  • 2 x pressure relief valves
  • Choice of flotation tyres
  • Manual top fill valves
  • Internal bracing
  • Implosion valve
  • Road lights

Spreader Plate

Traditional method of pressure feed onto flat plate giving up to 9m wide drenching of roadway.

Rain Gun

High capacity centrifugal pump driven hydraulic rain gun with up to 70m+ reach. Can also be used for fire fighting and leach mining.

Sprinkler bar

Economical spray bar with either gravity or pressure feed. Breadth of spread dependant on boom width.

Hydraulic spinning disc

Ultra lightweight carbon fibre spinning disc utilising Formula One technology. Water is gravity fed onto the disk to achieve a fine mist or site drenching deluge. Discharge is regulated either by a reducing valve which can be preset to the required flow, or by controlling the speed of the hydraulic disc.

Using less water than pressurised systems, the spinning disc is more economical and more efficient in its use of resources.

As an example, under pressure, 2000 gallons of water takes a matter of only eight minutes to discharge, whilst with the hydraulic spinner this is extended to ninety minutes, with the knock-on benefits of not needing to refill the tank so frequently and that one man can do so much more damping. Another advantage is that, on larger sites use of the hydraulic spinner can mean the deployment of one machine where several has been needed previously.

Chemical Additives

Dust suppressant chemicals are increasingly popular. Application by hydraulic spinning disk is now the preferred method because the atomising effect produced by the high-speed carbon fibre disc maximises the performance of the chemical.
