The DF Smart Dust Fighter controls the disbursement of dust and airborne dust on-site using a fine water vapour
which is spread over the designated area. The water vapour attaches to dust particles, bringing them safely to the
ground. The wheeled lightweight equipment is easy to transport and can be used across a number of different
applications. It is particularly useful for dust suppression when working on demolition sites where excavator
attachments such as Hydraulic Hammers or waste processing equipment is being used. The Dust Fighter can be
tilted to the preferred angle and has extremely efficient water consumption compared to traditional hosing
methods and this also helps to keep mud and sludge to a minimum.
