Dust control & spray
Wet sprinkler dust control
Wet sprinkler dust control applies water through a pressurised pipe network, sprinkler heads or rain guns to wet stockpiles, yards and haul roads, keeping surface dust down across large open areas.
Overview
Wet sprinkler systems are the conventional way to control dust over large open surfaces. Water is pumped through mains and risers to sprinklers, misting nozzles or rain guns that wet the material surface so that wind and vehicle movement lift less dust. For coal yards, the same network can combine heat-sensitive automatic sprinklers with spray nozzles, linking dust control with fire-risk management in stored coal.
A typical package includes pumps, pre-filtration, mainline and riser piping, valves, sprinkler or rain-gun heads and a control panel. Systems can run on manual or timer control, or be PLC-controlled with sensor-based activation and remote monitoring.
Selecting the right sprinkler system
Key considerations are the area and shape of the yard or road, stockpile height, material type, water availability and quality, required throw and overlap of heads, operating pressure, available power, and whether fire-risk sprinklers are needed. Head material, nozzle type and control method are then selected to suit the duty and site conditions.

Frequently asked questions
What should I send for a sprinkler dust control quote?
Send a yard or road layout with dimensions, stockpile heights, the material stored, water source and quality, available power, preferred control method and whether fire-risk sprinklers are also needed. Photographs of the area and details of any existing pumps or pipelines help us plan head spacing, pipe routing and pump selection.
How do I choose between rain guns and fixed sprinkler or misting lines?
Rain guns cover a wide area from relatively few points and suit open yards and haul roads. Fixed sprinkler or nozzle lines give more even, controlled wetting along defined edges, conveyors or stockpile perimeters. Many sites combine both. The choice depends on area, wind exposure, water supply and how the yard is operated.
