Water fog

Dust suppression with very fine water droplets works by increasing the weight of the dust particle thus causing it to fall down faster. The droplets and dust particles of about the same size collide and start falling. Too large droplets end up in the same situation as snow flakes in front of the windshield of a car, they pass the car without colliding.

A small amount of water, with the right size droplets and sprayed accurately to the correct location, will have practically no effect on the moisture of the material. When connected to the conveyor controls and material flow measurement, problems with mud and freezing can be minimized.
