Safety and security products save money
Specialising in systems for safety, security and control for vehicles, plant and machinery, systems are tailored for industrial use and often pay for themselves on reduced insurance premiums alone.
COOLFOG provides a quantifiable reduction in dust particles, through an innovative 1000psi delivery of a microscopic fog.
This system uses either mains or static water sources with nominal consumption rates ranging from 4 to 20 liters / minute, dependent on applications and circuits.
COOLFOG is NOT a spray of water.

it will NOT wet the works! Excessive dust, odors and heat greatly reduce productivity and is detrimental to safe working conditions for employees.
Foundries generate significant emissions of particles (including smoke, dust and fumes).
These emissions must be controlled to avoid inhalation by employees and neighboring populated areas.
Inhaling airborne by products may lead to respiratory and other illnesses.
COOLFOG provides dramatic temperature reductions of up to 7 - 10 degrees Celsius, dust suppression of up to 85% and odor elimination of 100%, in most industrial and commercial applications.
COOLFOG works by pressurizing water to 1000-PSI through innovatively designed nozzles, producing minute water particles that evaporate into the atmosphere reducing temperatures in the foundry.
Similarly, this output of fog encapsulates dust particles making them too heavy to remain airborne, thus suppressing the dust particles safely to ground.
COOLFOG reduces the risk of dust particles entering adjoining industrial and residential properties, creating a healthier environment for all employees and neighbours.
Foundries are also encountering legal challenges from various local authorities, legislative, and environmental organizations due to emissions.
Continuing residential expansion is also creating new challenges to the way in which foundries manage and control their emissions into the surrounding environment.
