I-CAT Dust Division showcases complete solutions The I-CAT Dust Division offers end- to-end integrated dust-management solutions that comply with all relevant industry regulations and standards. A range of its latest innovations were displayed at Electra Mining Africa 2018, including a new misting system for coal-mining applications.

The main products in the I-CAT Dust Division stable include RDC 20, an innovative formulation of blended emulsified co-polymers and ionic modifiers. When sprayed onto the road surface, the water-soluble anionic poly- electrolyte polymer forms a durable cross-linked matrix. The matrix binds fine soil particles into larger heavier particles, which are less prone to become airborne. GreenGrip is a natural poly- mer-based, durable gravel-road sealant. It is an environment-safe alternative to chemically-based prod- ucts for semi-permanent gravel roads on mines and residential areas. It is water-soluble, and is incorporated easily into routine dust-suppression procedures, with no requirement for special equipment or handling precautions. GreenBit is a natural binding agent combined with an emulsi- fied bituminous product to create a durable gravel-road sealant. It is

loose aggregate by forming a crust. In addition, mines have a number of challenges in reducing windswept dust on and around their tailing dams and open soil areas. The DustMonster product line pro- vides outstanding results by creating an ultra-fine mist that attracts dust, encapsulating airborne particles, and driving them to the ground. In terms of customisation, RDC 20 and GreenBit comprise a fixed formula that can be adjusted accordingly. l The LT200HP is also available with the Metso ICr(TM) wireless informa- tion and control system, which allows customers to monitor and control the crushing plant from an excavator cabin. The entire Lokotrack train of Metso primary Lokotrack plants or Metso mobile screens can be con- trolled with Metso ICr for a complete crushing and screening solution. “The compact transportation dimensions of the Lokotrack LT200HP combined with its powerful Nordberg HP200 cone crusher make it a winning solution for mobile crushing and screening,” concludes product manager Jouni Hulttinen. l

an environment-safe alternative to purely chemically-based products for permanent gravel roads on mines and residential areas. It results in a durable, smooth and dust-free surface that eliminates the need for frequent maintenance. TDS 2000 is a unique, environment liquid gel used for dust suppression on tailing dams and large open soil areas. The unique properties of this liquid gel allow it to penetrate into the surface, creating a durable bond that binds the emissions levels has become an increasingly important issue in recent years,” says Kimmo Anttila, Vice President, Lokotrack Solutions, Metso. “In this respect, the LT200HP delivers on all counts with a fuel consumption savings of 15% or more.” In addition to being more effi- cient, the renewed LT200HP also features several safety and mainte- nance improvements. These include elevated service platforms to ensure safe, easy access to service and maintenance points and improve- ments that make daily maintenance quicker and easier.
