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

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.
  • Section Belt Systems
    • Main Belts Systems
    • Transfer Points
  • Bunkers
  • Stockpiles

CERTIFICATION:

  • Certification for the different systems is available on request.
  • I.S. and FLP configurations are available.
