Dust Control for Mine Shutdown Works

Mine Shutdown Works. Temporary Dust Control.

Mine Shutdown Works are an essential part of running a mine and allow for work to be conducted safely and efficiently. These works frequently require temporary mobile dust control to mitigate the risks associated with dust generating activities. Our onsite team will help you determine the optimum set up of equipment to ensure dust and fumes are managed effectively as part of Shutdown planning.

Temporary dust control is also required when new fixed unit dust collectors are being installed or when existing units undergo maintenance or are relocated to allow production activities to continue.

Grydale design and manufacture a complete range of internationally patented, mobile industrial dust collection equipment. The JMS M-Series is an extensive range of mobile dust collectors with air volumes from 6m3/s (12,000 CFM) to 60m3/s (125,000 CFM).

We have the largest rental fleet of mobile dust collectors in the country. Our team will partner with you to ensure you have an effective dust management solution in place for the duration of the shutdown, ensuring works are completed on time and within budget. Our team is also able to rapidly deploy rental units if required for unforeseen situations.

Our Experience. Dust Control for Mine Shutdown Works.

Large Volume Mobile Dust Collectors. Benefits.  

Using a single machine has the following benefits:

  1. Simplified set-up.
  2. Reduced space requirements on site.
  3. Cost-effective freight and logistics.
  4. Cost-effective operation and maintenance costs of a single dust collector.

If multiple machines are used, the working area will often need to be subdivided and multiple duct runs set up to link back to individual machines. More resources would also be needed on-site to run multiple machines, which would increase maintenance costs.
