As we enter the dry season, dust pollution becomes a pressing issue, particularly in Australia. Industries such as mining, construction, and civil works generate significant dust, affecting visibility and posing serious health risks, particularly respiratory issues for workers. Fortunately, mobile dust suppression systems offer a practical and effective solution.
At Malcolm Thompson Pumps, we provide customised dust suppression solutions for all effected industries, helping businesses improve air quality and comply with health and environmental regulations.
Why Dust Control Matters
The dry season exacerbates dust pollution due to limited rainfall and dry soil. Fine dust particles (PM10 and PM2.5) can be inhaled, leading to respiratory problems and other health issues. For industries like mining and construction, managing dust is crucial to maintaining worker safety and operational efficiency.
Mobile Dust Suppression: The Solution
Mobile dust suppression systems, such as water cart trucks, are an effective way to control dust on worksites. Malcolm Thompson Pumps offers advanced solutions like the Stalker ISO Hydraulic Driven Series, designed specifically for water cart trucks.
The Stalker ISO Series is an ISO standard pump, 100% made and manufactured in Australia at MTP’s Stalker Pumps foundry. With a compact design and close-coupled hydraulic motor, it reduces alignment issues, minimises downtime, and ensures efficient operation.
