A dust control cannon, often referred to as a fog cannon, is a highly effective tool for managing dust. It transforms water into a fine mist, ranging from 30 to 200 micrometers, using a high-pressure plunger pump, and can spray this mist over considerable distances thanks to a fan. Research indicates that a top-notch dust control cannon can cut down dust concentration by more than 70% while conserving 60% to 80% of water, making it far superior to traditional sprinklers and spray guns.
These devices are commonly utilized in both industrial and municipal settings, and their main strength lies in the effective way they combine fine mist with dust particles. The water mist’s surface tension helps dust to clump together and settle quickly, all without disrupting production or posing risks to worker health. Whether it’s in mining, construction sites, or at ports, dust control cannons offer a reliable and cost-effective solution to combat dust pollution.

These parameters make sure that the dust control cannon can adapt to various situations. For instance, the YG-30 is perfect for smaller construction sites, while the YG-100 industrial model is the go-to choice for larger mines.
Wide Applications of Dust Control Cannon
Industrial Scenarios: Dust Management from Mines to Steel Plants
In mines and quarries, quarry dust suppression is a core demand. A dust control cannon can cover 30-100 meters, suppressing scattered dust during extraction and transportation to avoid complaints from nearby communities. In open-air operations of steel plants, coal yards, and ports, the device can target dust from stacking and loading/unloading, protecting equipment and workers.
In industrial settings, dust control cannon is often paired with corrosion-resistant pumps, compatible with treated wastewater, pesticides, or disinfectants for multi-purpose use. For example, in landfills, the device can both suppress dust and deodorize, achieving two goals at once.
Municipal and Public Sectors: Dual Protection for Cleaning and Disinfection
In municipal cleaning projects, dust control cannons play a vital role in managing road dust and spraying for park greening. Thanks to their automatic rotation feature, they can cover a larger area more effectively. When it comes to public disinfection, these devices can adjust the size of the mist particles and the spray angle, ensuring a thorough and even disinfection—perfect for schools, hospitals, and large venues.
In the realms of agriculture and forestry, dust control cannons can take the place of traditional sprayers, making pesticide application and wildfire prevention much more efficient. They conserve water, provide even coverage, and boost overall work efficiency.
Success Cases: How Dust Control Cannon Solves Practical Problems?
Case 1: Dust Management Solution for an Australian Quarry
Mark, an Australian quarry owner, was dealing with a serious problem: dust from his quarry operations was blowing into nearby communities, leading to a flood of complaints every month and putting his workers’ respiratory health at risk. After assessing the situation, we introduced him to the YG-100 industrial dust control cannon, which features an automatic rotation system and a heavy-duty filter.
With a reach of 100 meters and the ability to rotate 360°, this device effectively covered the entire quarry area. Fast forward three months, and dust levels had plummeted by 75%, with no more complaints from the community. Plus, the cannon used just 20% of the water that traditional sprinklers consumed, sick leave among workers dropped by 40%, and production efficiency saw a significant boost.
Case 2: Efficient Dust Suppression in a Spanish Steel Plant
A steel plant in Spain faced significant dust pollution during the loading and unloading of coal, which caused equipment to corrode at an alarming rate. To tackle this issue, we installed a dust control cannon equipped with a stainless steel pump and nozzles, specifically designed to withstand corrosive environments, along with a frequency converter to ensure stable pressure.
After implementing these solutions, the plant’s dust emissions were compliant with EU environmental standards, the equipment failure rate dropped to under 5%, and they saved around €12,000 annually on maintenance costs. The customer was thrilled to find that the fog cannon’s dust suppression capabilities surpassed their expectations, and the remote control feature helped cut down on manual operation expenses.
Core Technical Advantages of the Dust Control Cannon
- Fine mist and water saving: Adjustable mist particles of 30-200μm, saving 60%-80% water and avoiding site waterlogging;
- Automatic operation: ±360° horizontal rotation, -10°-85° pitch angle, supporting remote control and automatic operation;
- Material adaptation: Optional stainless steel or ceramic pump, suitable for corrosive liquids and heavy dust environments;
- Flexible customization: Range options from 30 to 100 meters, supporting voltage customization for different countries (e.g., 380V industrial voltage).
Dust Control Cannon Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Ceramic pumps are used for standard disinfectants, and stainless steel pumps for corrosive ones like chlorine-based liquids to ensure device durability.
Industrial models are equipped with frequency converters, offering more stable pressure and a longer range for large industrial scenarios; standard models are cost-effective for small to medium-sized operations.
Price mainly depends on range, pump material, and functional configuration (e.g., automatic rotation, remote control). YG series offers reasonable prices with direct factory supply and no middleman markup.
Ensure stable fan air volume and turn on automatic rotation to avoid blind spots; industrial models adjust wind speed via frequency converters to maintain mist density at long distances.
