OGP partnered with SGN to innovate a solution for effectively suppressing the dust generated during rock drilling.
Products
DustCatcher.
DustCatcher has been designed to be used with rock drills to collect the large volume of RCS silica dust generated during drilling. Capturing airborne particles at source helps reduce exposure for operators and simplify COSHH and health and safety compliance.
In field trials Dustcatcher has shown significant dust collection capacity, generating 2kg from just 5 rock drills. With thousands of drilling jobs being carried out every year by Utilities companies, Dustcatcher provides an efficient and scalable way of improving site conditions and protecting teams.
This easy to use device is powered off the air compressor so doesn’t require electricity, reducing risk in hazardous environments and reducing equipment needed on site. It doesn’t disrupt workflows and supports cleaner operations in the field. By reducing harmful exposure, DustCatcher may also help lower health risks, injury claims and associated costs.
Why DustCatcher Makes a Difference.
This innovative product developed with SGN captures harmful dust at source during rock drilling, protecting operators, passers-by the environment. Easy to use, DustCatcher keeps sites cleaner and safer without disrupting the job.
