How Fog Cannons Improve Dust Control on Construction Sites

Construction sites often struggle with airborne dust, especially during excavation, hauling, and material loading. Excessive dust not only violates environmental regulations but also impacts worker health and reduces visibility and safety.

Today, fog cannon systems—also called mist fog machines—have become one of the most effective solutions for long-range dust suppression.

Why Dust Must Be Controlled?

Dust particles below 10μm can travel long distances and penetrate deep into the lungs. Many countries now enforce strict standards for PM10 and PM2.5 emissions, pushing contractors to adopt reliable suppression equipment.

How Fog Cannons Solve the Problem?

Fog cannons atomize water into ultra-fine droplets (30–120 µm), allowing them to bond with dust particles in the air. With coverage distances from 30m to 120m, they can handle both small and large job sites.

Q&A: Common Questions from Contractors

Q1: How much water does a fog cannon consume per hour?

A: Most models use 40–180 L/min depending on nozzle quantity and spraying range. Water-saving nozzles can reduce usage by 30%.

Q2: Can it operate in windy areas?

A: Yes. Many fog cannons are engineered to maintain performance under wind speeds up to 6–8 m/s, keeping fog coverage stable.

Q3: Does it require complex maintenance?

A: Only routine checks on filters, water pumps, and lubrication—most units are designed for long-term industrial use.

Real-World Case

A contractor in Southeast Asia used a 50m fog cannon to manage dust during road expansion. Dust concentration dropped by over 70% within the first week, helping them pass environmental inspections smoothly.
