Dust Control in Quarries and Mines: Practical Solutions for Cost Reduction and Environmental Protection

Innovative Solutions for Dust Control in Industrial Environments

Dust management in quarries and mines is a critical factor for worker health, machinery longevity, and access road safety. ICM ILIKON introduces DUST/BLOKR technology to the Greek market — an environmentally responsible alternative to traditional corrosive salts.

Why choose DUST/BLOKR over chloride salts?

Unlike magnesium or calcium chlorides, DUST/BLOKR is a concentrated liquid based on sugars and starches — 100% environmentally friendly and non-corrosive.

  • Equipment Protection: Does not cause rust on vehicles and machinery.
  • Performance in Rain: Its semi-soluble composition allows it to “reactivate” with moisture, maintaining effectiveness even after rainfall.
  • Application Flexibility: Available in Sugar Blend (SB) for mine roads and Polymer Blend (PB) for creating a protective film on material stockpiles.

Measurable Benefits for Your Project

Applying DUST/BLOKR leads to up to 90% dust reduction and 50% less water usage. By choosing this solution, breakdowns and operating costs are reduced while ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
