Dust Reduction System for Tough Site Conditions
Control dust at the source with Polo Citrus BDS—a biodegradable dust control system designed for crushing and grinding environments.
What Is Polo BDS?
Polo Citrus BDS is a biodegradable foam-based dust reduction system made from air, water and our trusted BDS concentrate. Designed to reduce airborne dust at key points of operation, this system helps control emissions directly at the source, especially during crushing and grinding processes.
Our BDS dust control system:
- Uses up to 70% less water than traditional spray systems
- Reduces dust at application and downstream
- Expands water up to 100 times its original volume
- Applies a microfilm with low surface tension to keep dust particles wet
- Costs just 2–3 cents per tonne of material
- Requires minimal equipment—just 2L of BDS per hour, a foaming unit, water source and air compressor
Whether you’re operating a mobile crushing plant or a fixed facility, Polo BDS offers an efficient and cost-effective way to suppress dust in challenging conditions.
Reduce Maintenance and Site Downtime
Dust doesn’t just pose a health hazard—it can cost serious time and money in equipment maintenance and site shutdowns. Polo BDS helps reduce:
- Clogged nozzles and filters in cannons and misting systems
- Dust-related machinery wear and tear (like grinding pastes)
- Blocked or blinded screening mesh
- Belt carryback and tail drum build-up
- Mud on vehicle tyres contaminating stockpiles
- Shutdowns triggered by EPA inspections or high wind conditions
- Health risks for site workers and nearby communities
When dust is better managed, operations run smoother and safer—protecting your team, your equipment, and your bottom line.
