C-Force® INDUSTRY

The liberation and presence of dust in the air is a problem that causes a nuisance around the globe. Not only does it cause discomfort, but it also poses a serious threat to public health. 

C-Force® INDUSTRY was especially developed to prevent the liberation and re-suspension of dust in and around mines, during trans-loading and storage of ores and minerals. This way your operation stays clean, compliant and running.

INSTRAL’s dust control solutions are for example applicable in the following industries: mines, dry bulk terminals, steel mills and coal-fired power stations

Why industrial dust control matters

Industrial dust is more than a nuisance. It directly affects three areas where the cost of inaction quickly outweighs the cost of a proper dust suppression solution.

  • Health and safety. Prolonged exposure to airborne dust causes respiratory issues, allergic reactions, eye and skin irritation, and chronic conditions. Effective dust suppression protects your workforce and helps you meet occupational exposure limits set by EU-OSHA, MSHA and equivalent regulators.
  • Equipment protection and uptime. Fine dust accumulates in conveyor systems, motors, bearings and electronics. This increases maintenance costs, reduces equipment lifetime and causes unplanned downtime. Suppressing dust at the source keeps your machinery running and your maintenance budget predictable.
  • Environmental compliance. Fugitive dust emissions affect surrounding communities and ecosystems, and trigger complaints, fines and permit issues. C-Force® INDUSTRY reduces particulate emissions at the source, helping you stay compliant with local air quality regulations.

Industrial dust control applications

C-Force® INDUSTRY performs across a wide range of industrial environments. Common applications include:

Sinter

Dust control on sinter

During the handling and transport of sinter, fine particles are continuously liberated - every transfer point is a new emission source. Applying C-Force® INDUSTRY directly onto the sinter binds the dust to the material, even at elevated temperatures. The result is less dust in your plant, less material loss and a healthier working environment for your operators.

Dust control at coal-fired power stations

Coal handling at power stations generates dust throughout the entire chain - from unloading and conveying to stockpile management. C-Force® INDUSTRY can be applied during unloading or directly onto stockpiles, forming a durable layer that suppresses emissions. This reduces the risk of complaints from surrounding communities and helps you meet local air quality requirements.

Dust while mining

Dust control in mining

Open-pit and surface mining sites generate dust during extraction, hauling and stockpiling. C-Force® INDUSTRY can treat haul roads, working faces and stockpiles, with a long-term effect that survives rainfall - so retreatment frequency drops significantly compared to plain water spraying.

Trans-loading and bulk handling

Dust control in trans-loading and bulk handling

At dry bulk terminals and transfer points, dust is liberated every time material is moved. A pre-treatment with C-Force® INDUSTRY before loading or unloading binds fine particles to the bulk, reducing emissions during transfer and transport.

Dust control in storage of ores and minerals

Open storage of iron ore, coal, bauxite and other minerals creates large emission surfaces. Spraying C-Force® INDUSTRY forms a layer that holds dust in place.
