A quarry operator in Peru contacted YG while expanding a crushing line and adding a new stockpile area. Dust started spreading beyond the work zone during truck unloading and stone crushing. The site used water trucks, but dust still stayed in the air around the crusher and transfer points. Water consumption also increased because trucks needed repeated cycles across different zones.
The client searched for a mist cannon for sale after comparing several dust control methods online, focusing on range, mobility, and water usage.
Customer Background
The quarry already used water trucks for dust control. However, the spraying cycle could not keep pace with continuous crushing work. Dust often returned between watering intervals, especially around crushers and material transfer points. The client wanted a system that could remain close to the dust source, cover a larger area, and reduce repeated vehicle spraying.
During production, dust concentrated around:
- crusher discharge point
- conveyor transfer section
- truck unloading area
- open stockpile zone
Equipment Selection Process
Before choosing YG, the customer reviewed several suppliers and machine types. His focus was not only on the purchase price.
He compared:
- spray distance
- equipment mobility
- maintenance workload
- long-term operating cost
He also looked at fixed pipeline spraying systems. After calculating installation work and future layout changes, that option was rejected. The quarry expected additional production adjustments later, making fixed piping less practical. During his search for a mist cannon for sale, the customer found one of YG’s quarry equipment articles and checked several customer cases.
Two things caught his attention:
- trailer-mounted structure
- 60m spray coverage
He then contacted our product manager.
Communication & Procurement Process
After receiving the inquiry, our product manager did not immediately recommend a model.
We first discussed actual site conditions.
The customer shared:
- quarry layout photos
- crusher position
- stockpile distance
- estimated coverage area
Based on the information, YG compared several solutions.
| Option | Result |
|---|---|
| Fixed pipeline spraying | higher installation demand |
| Small-range unit | insufficient coverage |
| 60m mobile mist cannon | suitable for layout and movement needs |
Recommended Model YG-60
| Horizontal Range | 60m |
| Fog Size | 40-200μm |
| Fan Diameter | 700mm |
| Fan Length | 2.1m |
| Voltage | 380V |
| Fan Power | 18.5kw |
| Water Pump Power | 5.5kw |
| Dimension | 1.8*1.2*2.2m |
Delivery Process
Production started after specification confirmation.
During manufacturing, YG regularly sent:
- production photos
- assembly updates
- testing videos
Before shipment, we arranged a remote inspection.
The customer mainly checked:
- spray effect
- fan operation
- rotation movement
- trailer structure
After approval, payment was completed.
The machine was shipped to Peru by sea freight.
Once the equipment arrived, the customer shared unloading pictures and installation updates.
Installation & Use
The fog cannon machine was placed between the crusher and the stockpile area.
Operators adjusted:
- spray angle
- machine direction
- working position based on wind conditions
During operation, the machine worked alongside:
- crushing process
- conveyor transfer
- truck unloading
The quarry compared the new system with the previous dust control method.
Usage Feedback
| Comparison Item | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Crusher dust | frequent return | reduced |
| Water truck movement | repeated | lower |
| Manual spraying | required | reduced |
| Dust coverage consistency | unstable | steadier |
Customer feedback:
“We reduced truck spraying around the crusher. The dust situation became easier to manage during production.”
FAQ
Q: Can one machine cover multiple quarry work areas?
A: Coverage depends on site layout. In this Peru project, the 60m model covered the crusher and nearby stockpile sections.
Q: Why choose a mobile mist cannon?
A: Quarry layouts change. A mobile mist cannon can move when working zones change.
Q: Does a fog cannon machine replace water trucks completely?
A: Not always. In this project, water trucks remained for road cleaning, while airborne dust control shifted to the machine.
