EmiControls’ new V22Orca dust suppression unit

EmiControls’ V22Orca is a hybrid dust suppression machine that eliminates dust in summer and winter.

Designed specifically for countries with colder climates, if, due to the cold temperatures, it is no longer possible to suppress dust on a quarry or construction site using water mist, the V22Orca immediately makes snow. This is said by Bolzano, north-east Italy-headquartered EmiControls to be an “absolute novelty” on the market.

Although in the past there have been isolated solutions that used normal snow cannons, these products could not be used for dust suppression in the summer. Additionally, EmiControls says such products are not stable enough for use in mobile applications (on trucks, for example). “Even dust suppression machines with built-in heating start to reach their limits when they reach a few degrees below zero,” says the company, adding, “the result is that they merely generate freezing rain.”

EmiControls says the V22Orca guarantees effective dust suppression all year round. Ultimately, this hybrid solution may be defined the “machine for extreme conditions”, since it easily suppresses dust up to a temperature of +50 °C (with water mist), while in winter it can operate down to -25 °C (with snow).
