Idrotech high-pressure dust suppression nozzles

The Idrotech range of high-pressure dust suppression nozzles can be used to suppress dust, control odours, humidify and provide evaporative cooling.

The fine mist generated makes the nozzle suitable for a wide range of applications including: dust suppression in crushing plants and on conveyor belt transfer points; temperature reduction in animal farms and cooling towers of air-conditioning systems; odour neutralisation; humidification of fish, fruit and vegetable display counters and storage areas, wine cellars; and disinfection of equipment and of vehicles travelling between farms and animal breeding areas where cross-contamination is to be avoided.

Idrotech nozzles use the principle of high-pressure 60 to 70 bar to generate a cloud of extremely fine droplets which are suitable for suppressing ultrafine dust particles.

The nozzles come in a range of different capacities ranging from 1.74 up to 40 L/h, depending on the pressure. The nozzles will operate from as low as 7 bar up to 120 bar, depending on the particular orifice size selected.

The operating principle of the Idrotech fog system is that water is pressurised at 10-120 bar by a pump and atomised into the air through the fog nozzles.

The nozzles are easy to assemble with either quick-connect fittings using a special high-pressure polyamide tubing, or with compression fittings on a stainless steel tube. The plastic tubing is easily cut to length, and the stainless steel tube can be supplied in a range of pre-set lengths already drilled to accept the nozzles.

Tecpro can supply a complete dust suppression assembly comprising the high-pressure pump unit, all the controls, pipe work, fittings, nozzles and mounting clamps.
