At the Cuneo composting site, we installed a dust suppression cannon in the material loading area.
The model chosen is the Conrad Phoenix equipped with programmable rotation in a 'Bikini' configuration. "Bikini' indicates that the gun and its slewing ring were installed at height, in this case on a 7-metre pillar; the rest of the system, i.e. the PLC and pump, were installed on the ground, inside an insulated box to be precise, to keep the components protected from the weather and out of the vehicle handling area.
The system has been programmed to trigger the cannon via a sensor when the loader passes near the ramp.
In this way, during the unloading of the material in the trailers, the cannon is able to hit the dust generation area with its spray.
