Terex offers new Aquamist dust suppression system

Terex, a manufacturer of lifting and materials processing solutions based in Norwalk, Connecticut, has released the Aquamist by Terex, a dust suppression system. Terex says Aquamist will be available across its materials processing brands, including EvoQuip, Fuchs, Powerscreen, Terex Ecotec, Terex Finlay, Terex MPS and Terex Washing Systems.

The Aquamist by Terex uses a high-capacity misting fan that produces finely divided water droplets that range in size from 10 to 150 microns in diameter. According to a news release from Terex, this function makes the new system an improvement over conventional water jets and sprays.

“It is globally accepted now that airborne dust that is formed on job sites can significantly contribute to respiratory illnesses,” says Paul Kearney, vice president of parts and solutions for Terex Materials Processing. “As increased legislation comes into place globally to mitigate this, more effective control of dust is needed. Our Aquamist system will better support worksite operations and strengthen our commitment to making the workplace a safe and healthy environment.”
