A limestone quarry in Punjab, Pakistan, had a serious dust problem. Every day, blasting, crushing, and screening operations sent clouds of fine dust into the air. The dust covered equipment, caused frequent breakdowns, and made it hard for workers to breathe. Neighbors complained, and the local environmental office issued fines. The quarry needed a solution that worked.The site manager tried standard water sprinklers. They used too much water and could not reach the dust sources. The water droplets were too heavy and fell quickly, missing the fine particles. The dust kept floating. The quarry needed a fog cannon dust suppression system that could spray a fine mist across a large area. That was the only way to capture the dust before it spread.

Selecting the Fog Cannon Machine
The quarry management searched online for a dust control cannon and found YG Machinery. They contacted the YG team and described their problem. YG asked about the site size, dust sources, and available power. The quarry had a 380V/50Hz three-phase supply, which is standard in Pakistan. YG suggested the YG-60 model. This water mist cannon has a 60‑meter spraying distance. It produces fine water droplets that bind with dust particles and bring them down. The quarry team liked the idea. They asked for a formal quote. YG sent a complete proposal with pricing, delivery time, and installation support. After comparing with other suppliers, the quarry chose YG Machinery. They ordered two units of the YG‑60 fog cannon dust suppression system.
Delivery and Setup of Fog Cannon Machine
YG Machinery shipped the two dust suppression fog cannon units by sea. The shipment arrived at Karachi port and cleared customs without delays. YG provided all required documents. The quarry moved the units to the site, and YG sent a technician to oversee installation.
The team placed one unit beside the primary crusher and the second near the screening station. Each mist cannon dust suppression unit rotates 360° horizontally and adjusts vertically from -10° to 55°. This range gave full coverage of the dust-generating areas. The technician connected the units to the 380V supply and tested the water lines.
YG also trained the quarry workers. The training took two days. Workers learned to operate the water mist cannon with a remote control. They also learned basic maintenance, such as cleaning nozzles and checking filters. The workers found the controls simple and intuitive.
Performance of the Water Cannon Dust Suppression
The fog cannon dust suppression system began working immediately. The fine mist reached 60 meters and covered the crusher and screen. Dust levels dropped sharply. The air became noticeably cleaner, and workers could see across the site without haze. Equipment stayed cleaner too. Dust no longer built up on motors and bearings, so machine stoppages decreased.
Water use was also reasonable. Each YG‑60 consumes about 7,500 liters per hour. Compared with the old sprinklers, the quarry saved roughly 40% of water for the same area. The 800‑liter tank allowed continuous operation without frequent refills. The recycled water pipe helped reduce waste even further.
The local environmental agency visited for a routine inspection. They measured dust levels and found them within permitted limits. The agency withdrew the previous fines. Neighbors also stopped complaining. The quarry manager was relieved.
Feedback on the Water Cannon Dust Suppression
The quarry owner gave direct feedback to YG. He said, “This dust control cannon is the best investment we have made. It solved our dust problem in just a few days. The machines run reliably even in our harsh conditions. We are very satisfied with the performance and the service from YG.”
The site manager added that the mist cannon dust suppression units were easy to reposition when needed. He noted that a trailer version would be even more flexible for sites, but the fixed units worked perfectly for their current layout.
After Installing the Fog Cannon Dust Suppression System
Six months later, the quarry ordered two more units for a new mining area. They also recommended YG Machinery to a nearby cement plant, which is now in talks for a similar solution. The quarry manager said he would buy again and encouraged other site owners to consider this technology.
