A new dimension in effective dust control, Polo Citrus offer a comprehensive range of Dust Suppression Products and systems for quarries, mines and roading. It expands water up to 100 times and is biodegradable. Polo Citrus — Australia's mining and quarry industries first choice in dust suppression.

 

 

POLO DC HAULAGE

Polo Haulage-DC was developed for application on haulage roads to control and reduce airborne dust and to reduce water consumption. Haulage-DC is used in underground and on surface mines where dust poses serious health and safety risks to personnel and equipment. 

Citrus-based Haulage-DC reduces surface tension, allowing water to penetrate deeper into the roads. Haulage-DC also contains a humectant to help retain water in the ground. When the water penetrates faster, there is less water remaining on the surface to evaporate, create potholes or runoff ruts. 

Haulage-DC has also been very successful in quarries where the same operator does many tasks; including water truck driving.

Advantages:

  • Reduces water requirements by up to 40%
  • Increases distances travelled with same equipment and water 
  • Reduces frequency of maintaining roads, saving labour and equipment costs
  • Reduces Dust pollution
  • No additional mixing or blending is required
  • Reduces application frequency up to 40%
  • Will not corrode equipment

 

Safety:

  • Non-irritating to humans and animals
  • Biodegradable

​

Reaction: 

  • Water will penetrate faster into roads, allowing less evaporation 
  • Orange oil coats dust with a micro-film to trap moisture and increase agglomeration of dust particles
  • Humectant helps retain moisture in the soil for longer periods

 

Directions for use:
Polo Haulage-DC is simply batch-mixed in existingwater tankers, Polo Citrus can advise the appropriate dilution rate for your application.

 

 

POLO BIODEGRADABLE DUST SUPPRESSION

FOAMING DUST CONTROL AGENT

Polo BDS was developed to combat and prevent dust by expanding water, specifically for applications where excessive water can lead to other problems. Polo BDS creates micro-bubbles, which are then applied to areas of the dust generation to combat dust in an efficient and rapid manner. Polo BDS has a problem free application system. The Polo Foamer is simple to operate once professionally installed; maintanence required is generally performed by Polo Citrus Australia.

 

Polo BDS is readily biodegradable to AS 4351:

  • Reduces dust at application point and downstream
  • Expands water up to 100 times
  • Low surface tension allows a microfilm to keep dust particles wet longer
  • Extends surrounding equipment life
  • Excellent low-temperature characteristics
  • Requires approximately 2 litres of BDS per hour

 

Common Applications of Polo BDS are:

  • Crushers
  • Stackers
  • Drill sites
  • Augers
  • Reclaimers
  • Transfer belts
