When a local council identified potential dust concerns at their new 5000m² Road Waste Transfer Depot, they sought an effective dust suppression solution to mitigate the impact on nearby residents and businesses. The depot, dedicated to storing and handling road planings and various aggregates, required a specialised approach to handle both large open areas and smaller, intricate spaces.
Tailored Dust Suppression for Challenging Sites
To address the challenge, Ace Plant provided a Quickspray Dust Suppression Unit for a demonstration. The unit’s versatility allowed the council to use their existing JCB417 loader, leveraging the loader’s third service hydraulics to power the Quickspray.
The Quickspray’s innovative design features a hydraulically driven carbon fibre spinning disc that atomises water into a fine mist, effectively trapping both airborne and surface dust. This approach proved ideal for the depot’s varied layout, including open yards and walled-off product storage areas.
Key Benefits of the Quickspray Dust Suppression Unit
- Efficient Water Usage: The Quickspray minimises water consumption while maximising coverage, making it a cost-effective solution for dust suppression.
- Ease of Use: Its built-in fork sleeves allow for seamless integration with existing fleet machinery, ensuring the JCB417 loading shovel could handle dust control tasks with ease.
- Flexibility: The unit’s mobility and adaptability make it suitable for both open spaces and confined areas, ensuring comprehensive dust management.
Positive Feedback from the Trial
The trial was a resounding success, with depot staff noting the Quickspray’s impressive performance. Comments included:
- “Easy to get around the yard, even with walling separating products.”
- “Effective for dust suppression in open areas.”
- “Didn’t use much water.”
Based on these results, the council decided to purchase a Quickspray unit, customising it with their unique colour specification, RAL4006 Traffic Purple, to align with their fleet branding.
The Quickspray Dust Suppression Unit has proven to be an efficient and versatile solution for managing dust in challenging depot environments. By utilising existing machinery and requiring minimal water, the Quickspray delivers effective dust control while reducing operational costs.
