Underground dust removal employs local exhaust fans, scrubbers, and filtration units to clear dust generated by drilling, blasting, and material handling in subterranean passages.
Portable axial fans paired with cartridge or bag filters draw dust-laden air through sealed ducts. Wet scrubbers may inject water or foam to agglomerate particles before they reach the filter stage.
Variable speed drives (VSDs) enable demand-driven purification, increasing extraction during peak dust generation and reducing energy use otherwise. Integrated dust sensors provide feedback for automated control.
Modular design and quick-disconnect components facilitate rapid relocation as mining faces advance. Effective underground dust removal improves air quality, machinery life, and regulatory compliance.
