Dust Monitoring & Dust Management
MONITECH MACHINE MOUNTED REALTIME DUST MONITOR (MRDM):
FUNCTIONALITY & PERFORMANCE:
- MRDM system enables Management, Miners and Operators to monitor the dust generated in all areas where monitoring dust generation is required.
- MRDM provides real-time environmental reporting while also offering connection to a remote monitoring interface:
- The MRDM provides real-time dust monitoring up to 30mg/m³.
- MRDM is available in I.S and Non-I,S variants for machine mounted and fixed (roadway) applications.
- Space saving compact MRDM enclosure allows for easier placements on machines.
- The MRDM is designed to be Intrinsically safe with a live I.S 4-20mA output.
- The MRDM is fitted with a 2.4” colour display for live readings, sensor status and diagnostics for the user.
- Output from MRDM to Smart dust Display – 4-20mA
- MRDM is linked to a Smart Dust Display that has configurable alarm (Green/Orange/Red) and trip levels for interlocking to the machine.
- Main display shows the current shift average:
- If the average exceeds 3mg/m3, the display colour will change to ORANGE.
- If the average exceeds 4mg/m3, the display colour will change to RED (flashing).
- If the average exceeds 5mg/m3, the display will be solid RED.
- Local manufacture and accessibility to product.
- Lower maintenance requirements.

DUST STOP SUPPRESSION SYSTEM:
Functionality & Performance:
- The Dust Stop Suppression System is an industry proven Whole Dust suppression system for both underground and surface working environments.
- Dust Stop uses an airless system to feed water through custom designed airless foaming nozzles that draws the foaming agent into the water supply,
- The additive when agitated increases the water volume by up to 7 times to improve the contact area, reducing water tension and increases the contact area to create a blanket effect attracting dust.
- The system forms part of a holistic dust suppression solution
- Easy to install, does not interfere with operations and requires very little maintenance.
- Additive composition is non-hazardous, with a 3-hour downstream effect that continues to suppress dust.
- Dust Stop systems requires no electrical or hydraulic power to operate.
- Installations are backed by the Monitech 24/7/365 service offering if required.
- Each Dust Suppression solution is custom fitted specific to each customer’s requirements
APPLICATION POINTS:
- Surface and Underground Application points
- Continuous Miners
- Feeder Breakers
- Belt Transfer Points
- Bunkers
- Stockpiles
CERTIFICATION:
- I.S. Compliant
- S.A.C.A.S ISO 9001:2015
- Additive Safety Data Sheet available on request
Increase wetting volume
Dust sticks to foam
Does not release dust to downstream transfer points
Fine coats material mass total dust blanket effect
Reduces water surface tension
Large nozzle prevents blockages
MONITECH INTELLIGENT WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM:
Functionality & Performance:
- The Monitech Intelligent Water Management System is a highly cost effective, Whole Dust suppression system for both underground and surface working environments.
- Modular system using intelligent automated systems with no mechanical contact
- The intelligent water management system optimises operational water, using an optimal configuration of Actuator Ball valves, Solenoids, Sensors and custom designed water spray pipes and custom nozzles.
- The system both optimises operational water utilisation, with savings of up to 75%, and assists in suppressing dust.
- The system forms part of a holistic dust suppression solution that is even more effective when used in conjunction with the Dust Stop system.
- Easy to install, does not interfere with operations, equipped with reverse flushing technology that requires very little maintenance.
- Water management systems requires no electrical or hydraulic power to operate.
- Installations are backed by the Monitech 24/7/365 service offering if required.
- Each water management solution is custom fitted specific to each customer’s requirements.
- Strong robust design
APPLICATION POINTS:
- Surface and Underground – In Bye and Out Bye Application points
- Feeder Breakers
- Belts – supplying water sprays on bottom belts where fine dust has accumulated.
