Dust Suppression

A dust suppression unit, often called a dust cannon, is a machine that projects a fine, atomised mist of water droplets into the air to knock airborne dust down before it disperses across the site. Dust suppression unit hire from GAP Hire Solutions is built to handle the harshest demolition, crushing, and earthworks conditions. Dust suppression hire is used to control dust from demolition, crushing, screening, recycling and general earthworks activity, helping sites manage air quality and meet duties around exposure to respirable crystalline silica and other airborne particulates. Demolition, recycling, quarrying and civils contractors hire dust suppression units, or dust cannons, because a visible dust plume is a nuisance to neighbours and a health risk to the workforce. Misting the air is far more effective that damping down with a hose alone. Coverage depends on the throw distance and oscillation of the unit. GAP Hire Solutions has dust suppression unit hire available nationwide with fast depot delivery.
