With our dust binding you keep the building site dust under control.

Every construction site and every production hall is covered in dirt. Dust particles are whirled into the air and distributed therein. They may affect the health of people working on the construction site or in production or living in a neighbouring area. With dust control systems, it’s easy to get to grips with the problem. They thus make an important contribution to emission control.

Why do you need a dust binding system?

Fine dust is produced in sand pits, gravel pits, production halls and on a construction site. Wherever fine materials and raw materials are used or crushed, dust is the result. A lot of dust is stirred up during the corresponding work.

This fine dust is so small that it penetrates into many areas. People who are in the vicinity inhale the fine dust from the construction site or gravel pit. Thus it reaches the lungs of these persons, where it can cause great damage in the long run.

A large amount of fine dust is not only a problem for people. Machines and electronic components are also easily affected by the dust and dirt. The dust particles penetrate into the components of machines and electronic parts. This makes these devices more susceptible to malfunctions and wear.

In the worst case, so much dust collects that the device in question can no longer be used at times. Construction machinery and equipment must therefore be cleaned regularly. However, this cleaning is sometimes time-consuming for employees of affected companies if they have to clean the device by hand. Also, this cleaning causes costs. Water is needed and the person concerned will be elsewhere for the cleaning period.

With a suitable dust binding system, you can reduce the cost of cleaning your equipment. This also ensures that you comply with the applicable limits for your work. You not only make an indispensable contribution to the health of your employees and the people around them, but also to the protection of the environment.

What are the advantages of a dust binding system?

If you cannot comply with the limits that apply to particulate matter, this can have serious consequences for your work. If the violation is detected, it is likely that you and your employees will have to pause work at the construction site, landfill or extraction of raw materials. Such downtimes are expensive for entrepreneurs. A production stop quickly causes annoyance – and annoying losses that could have been avoided.

A dust binding system helps to prevent this. It also minimizes the danger for bystanders in other ways. In this way, it is possible to minimise the risk of a fire breaking out. Wherever fine dust is stirred up – for example by crushed materials – you as the person responsible must ensure that the dust is removed again so that it does not become a health and economic burden for you and your employees.

FRUTIGER dust binding systems help you get your emissions under control.

With the Moby Dick brand, the Swiss company FRUTIGER has developed solutions for dirt and grime that are produced wherever construction, recycling or crushing takes place. In addition to tyre washing systems and demucking, the company also offers special systems for dust binding.

With these systems, you can effectively combat dust emissions. With the Cannon Line and TailorMade LineTailorMade Line lines, you can rely on proven and individually tailored solutions that help you keep your emissions under control.

With the Cannon Line, FRUTIGER has developed a product range whose models are designed to last for many years. At the same time, they are robust against harsh working conditions. All models for dust binding are insensitive, which is why wear is limited even after a long period of use. In addition, they need only a minimal service. A double filter system helps to keep the nozzles of the MobyDick dust binding machine free. They clog less easily as a result.

With the Moby Dick TailorMade Line, FRUTIGER offers you tailor-made solutions for applications that require special solutions. You will find exactly the solution for your dust problem that suits you and your project. They are highly efficient and durable.

Such a dust binding system does not have to exist in a large and heavy machine. Depending on the application, a manufacturer will also develop dust binding systems for you that are flexible in use and easy to transport. Permanently installed systems are just as suitable as mobile devices, which you can use on demand or additionally.

What technology is behind the dust collection systems for emission control?

Dust binding systems from Moby Dick bind the dust using very fine drops of water. You may be familiar with low-pressure pumps that produce large droplets. FRUTIGER’s dust binding systems use special pumps and nozzles that ensure that a water mist with the finest water droplets is created.

Experience has shown that the smallest drops of water are better able to systematically bind dust than larger drops. Because of their physical properties – including low fall and flight speeds – finer water droplets remain in the air longer than larger ones.

The dust particles are absorbed by the water droplets through their suction effect. Dust and water combine. In this way the dust emissions reach the ground.

Thanks to an innovatively shaped cone made of composite fibre, the water droplets are precisely applied. The power consumption for the operation of the dust binding system is comparatively low. This saves resources when operating your dust collection system.

Devices for dust binding from Moby Dick: Stainless and less susceptible to failure

The use of composite fibre has the advantage that the material is less susceptible to weather conditions than steel sheet, which is otherwise frequently used. Such devices don’t rust. They also absorb noise, thereby contributing to a reduction in noise pollution. They are not susceptible to interference. And if something does happen, they can be quickly repaired.

Thanks to the special technology and the capture of the smallest dust particles thanks to fine water droplets, a system like MobyDick’s is more efficient than conventional technologies. With this, considerably more water drops are used. This allows a much larger surface area to be wetted with water. You can thus optimally limit the dust development in your environment.

With the special pumps of modern dust binding systems the finest drops of water are produced. At Moby Dick, almost two billion drops of water are spread per litre of water. They wet a surface of 600,000 square meters. Conventional machines, on the other hand, produce larger droplets whose circumference usually moves at just over 200,000 droplets per litre of water. They have a surface area of only 30,000 square metres – and are therefore significantly less efficient than modern dust binding systems.

Modern dust binding systems can be used flexibly

An aerodynamic cone, as used in Moby Dick’s dust binding systems, has the advantage of achieving throw distances of up to 100 metres. The devices can be used exactly where they are really needed. They can be set so that they can reach areas that are difficult to access.

Because the dust binding systems are easily movable, they can always be used where a lot of dust is being stirred up. At the same time, water consumption is low, which makes the operation of a modern dust binding system particularly economical.
