IB International is a trusted name in dust control to the mining industry. For revegetation, dust control, open areas and blasting areas we have mobile and fixed canons available to suit all your requirements.
Haul roads
Due to the large range of Sime Water Canons available canons can be mounted along the side of the road or mounted on water trucks.
Wind erosion
"One of the most effective control measures for exposed areas is the revegetation of exposed soil or the rehabilitation of land once mining is complete" (Katestone Report pp171) The expertise at IB International in irrigation in Australia spans over 30 years. Our product line reflects the best practice solutions including world renowned Ocmis poly reels, Sime water canons and Dallai fittings. Talk to us today about your project.
Coal stock piles
Innovative designs continue to respond to the growing number of challenges engineers face in mining. IB International works hard to ensure the best products are available to our customers. The Sime "Climber" and "Vari Angle Kronos" are two solutions. Gear drive canons provide even sprays that often suit coal stacks in dust control and fire prevention applications. Talk to us about performances required on your project.
Bulldozing
Particulate matter emissions also pose a challenge on sites. Keeping the materials moist is a popular solution in many open cut mines.
Blast and drilling
Watering while drilling is a popular and effective measure for dust control. Ensuring the flow of the water is relative to the success of the application.
Draglines
Emissions of particulate matter can arise if material is dropped from the bucket. A number of solutions present themselves to address this. Applying water in the right manner can represent a solution to some challenges around draglines.
Loading and dumping overburden
"At truck and shovel mines, excavators or power shovels are used to excavate blasted overburden in the pit. The overburden is dumped into large haul trucks and transported to the waste ...dumped or is dumped back into the pit" (Katestone Report pp184) Water sprays provide a solution to challenges in this area.
Loading and dumping ROM coal
"Enclosure and application of water is the principal control measure used to control emissions of particulate matter from ROM bins. Water may also be applied at the ROM pad to minimise dumping emissions." (Katestone Report pp187)
Conveyors and transfers
IB International Sime Skipper Washdown Canon provides a focused approach to addressing challenges in this area of mine sites.
Stacking and reclaiming product coal
Moisture management provides key options in this area, especially for small prevalent particles.
Dust Suppression – Gear Drive Option
Most people are familiar with Impact Canons for Dust Suppression applications. Some excellent canons are used widely in Mines throughout Australia. Mines are also showing great results with Gear Drive Water Canons.
The immediate benefit of a Gear Drive Water Canon is of course the even spread of moisture. And when the spread is even the dampness sets in with great stability, and consequently lasts longer.
Gear Drive Water Canons can be fitted to the back of water trucks, or mounted strategically. Like the Impact Canons, Gear Drives are also available in Vari-angle configurations to allow controlled dust suppression for air borne or stock pile challenges.
- Varied speed control is also an option to allow for water usage control.
- Like their counterparts, performances for gear drive options vary and should be made available to Engineers and Site Managers to confirm the best canon for the application.
- For dust and fire prevention the Gear Drive Water Canons provide an excellent solution.
In addition to water application IB International can greatly assist mine managers with revegetation projects equipment.
IB International Mining are happy to invite engineers and site supervisors to contact them for further information on the best gear drive water canon options available.
