Dust suppression 

Engineering consideration 5 - Wide angle spraying (coverage)

Often dust is produced over a large area and so any dust suppressing spray needs to be distributed at wide angle.  A number of the nozzles SP offers come with wide or very wide spray angle variants which overcome this problem.  For example the TF range spiral design nozzles can have up to 170 degree full cone spray angle for maximum coverage.  

An alternative strategy to achieve the necessary spray coverage is to project the spray using fans or air atomising nozzles.  Air atomising nozzles such as the XA series use compressed air to break up the fluid into very fine droplets and to project this fine spray from the nozzle.  This allows a very fine spray to be delivered over a wide area.
