For effective dust suppression on active sites, dust cannons provide a high-performance solution for controlling airborne dust without the need for permanent installation. These systems help reduce dust-related health risks and improve air quality across a wide range of applications, including recycling facilities, demolition works, quarries, ports, and bulk material handling areas.
Dust cannons are available in static, trailer-mounted, and tracked formats, making them well suited to hire for short-term projects or changing site conditions. Their compact, transportable design allows for quick setup and easy repositioning as works progress, while low maintenance requirements and efficient operating costs make hire a practical and flexible option. Each unit is operated through a clear, intuitive control system, ensuring reliable dust control throughout the hire period.

Suppresses fine dust particles before they can spread across the site
Supports protection of the local environment and nearby receptors
Enhances visibility on-site, particularly around active plant and machinery
Minimises the formation of dust plumes around operating equipment
Helps reduce the likelihood of dust-related complaints from neighbouring properties
Can lower cleaning, maintenance, and downtime costs caused by excessive dust
APPLICATIONS:
Timber recycling facilities and wood processing or production plants
Construction and demolition waste processing operations
Material recycling yards and waste sorting facilities
Mining and mineral extraction operations
Concrete batching, mixing, and production plants
Active demolition sites and structural removal projects
Landfill sites and waste management operations
Ports, docks, and ship unloading facilities handling bulk materials
Scrap metal processing yards and steel manufacturing facilities
Live events, outdoor venues, and selected industrial cooling applications
HOW IT WORKS:
Water is atomised through specially engineered nozzles to produce a fine mist. A high-velocity fan creates airflow that carries this mist evenly across the required area.
As the mist moves through the air, the atomised water droplets interact with airborne dust particles. These particles bind to the droplets, increasing their weight and causing them to settle safely to the ground. This process removes dust from the air and provides effective suppression of airborne emissions.

S45 Static Dust Cannon
The S45 Static Dust Cannon is a high-performance dust suppression solution designed for fixed installations where consistent, wide-area dust control is required. Commonly used across recycling facilities, demolition sites, quarries, ports, and bulk material handling operations, the S45 Static Dust Cannon provides reliable control of airborne dust in demanding industrial environments.
The S45 Static Dust Cannon is particularly well suited to locations where dust generation is continuous and concentrated around specific processes, such as crushing, screening, loading, and material transfer points. Installed in a static position, the unit delivers controlled mist coverage across a defined working area, helping to suppress airborne dust before it can spread across the site or beyond its boundary. This supports improved air quality, safer working conditions, and reduced environmental impact.
At the core of the S45 Static Dust Cannon is a proven dust suppression process using atomised water mist. Fine droplets are generated through specially designed spray nozzles and projected into the air using a high-powered fan. As airborne dust particles come into contact with the mist, they bind to the droplets, increasing in weight and settling safely to the ground. This process removes dust from the air effectively while avoiding excessive wetting of materials or surfaces.
One of the key advantages of the S45 Static Dust Cannon is its ability to provide continuous dust control in fixed locations. Unlike mobile units designed for frequent repositioning, the S45 Static Dust Cannon is ideal for areas where dust sources remain consistent over time. Its wide coverage and controlled rotation allow it to target dust emissions efficiently, making it well suited to permanent or semi-permanent dust suppression requirements.
The S45 Static Dust Cannon is commonly supplied on a hire basis, offering a cost-effective solution for sites that require reliable dust control without the commitment of purchasing equipment. Hiring allows operators to deploy a high-output dust suppression system for the duration of a project, production phase, or seasonal operation. This flexibility is particularly valuable for sites with changing workloads or temporary increases in dust generation.
Designed with ease of use in mind, the S45 Static Dust Cannon features intuitive controls that allow operators to adjust rotation, elevation, and water output to suit site conditions. This ensures effective dust suppression can be maintained with minimal intervention, reducing the need for constant manual adjustment. Low maintenance requirements and robust construction further support its suitability for hire, helping to minimise downtime and keep operations running smoothly.
In addition to improving on-site conditions, the S45 Static Dust Cannon plays an important role in supporting environmental compliance and community relations. Uncontrolled dust can lead to reduced visibility, health risks for site workers, and complaints from neighbouring properties. By installing a dedicated dust suppression system, site operators can demonstrate proactive dust management and reduce the likelihood of disruption or enforcement action.
The S45 Static Dust Cannon is widely used across a range of sectors, including recycling plants, demolition sites, quarries, ports, concrete production facilities, and waste management operations. Its combination of wide coverage, controlled operation, and fixed installation makes it a dependable solution for sites requiring consistent and effective dust suppression.
For operations seeking a static, high-performance dust control solution available on a flexible hire basis, the S45 Static Dust Cannon offers a proven approach to managing airborne dust. Whether used as a standalone system or as part of a wider dust control strategy, it delivers reliable performance that supports safer working environments, improved air quality, and better site compliance.
