Dry Fog Dust Suppression That Keeps Your Product Dry
Smart Fog dust suppression systems release a fine dry fog that captures airborne dust and brings it down, without soaking your material, floors or equipment.
Cleaner Air Without the Water Problems
Water sprays and cannons knock down some dust but leave wet product, mud and slip hazards behind. Dry fog targets the fine dust they miss.
Captures Fine Dust
The smallest fog droplets bind to fine airborne dust, the particles that larger spray droplets tend to miss.
Stays Dry
Dry fog brings dust down without saturating your material, so product quality and handling are not affected.
Low Running Costs
Minimal water and electricity consumption keeps operating costs down.
Low Maintenance
A large 0.1″ nozzle orifice resists clogging, even with hard water, and there are no moving parts in the fogger.
Fog Droplets Sized to Catch Airborne Dust
Airborne dust is hard to control with ordinary water sprays because their large droplets tend to flow around the smallest particles instead of hitting them. Dry fog droplets are far smaller, so they collide with fine dust, bind to it and make it heavy enough to settle out of the air.
Because so little water is used and the fog does not soak surfaces, you control dust at the source without turning the area wet or muddy. Every Smart Fog dust suppression system is designed around your process and the dust levels you need to reach.
What you get
- Dust controlled at the source, not after it spreads
- Material and floors stay dry
- Help meeting environmental and worker safety standards
- Clog-resistant nozzles, even with hard water
- No moving parts in the fogger, for years of reliable operation
Dust Control in Three Steps
Each installation is engineered for your dust sources, airflow and targets.
Fog at the source
Nozzles are placed where dust is generated, such as transfer points, conveyors, crushers, hoppers and loading areas.
Droplets meet dust
Fine fog droplets collide with airborne particles and bind to them, making them heavier.
Dust settles
The combined particles drop out of the air, while the fog itself does not soak your product or floors.
Water Sprays vs. Smart Fog Dry Fog
Why dry fog is the better fit when you need to control fine dust without adding moisture to your process.
Water Sprays and Cannons
- Large droplets miss much of the fine airborne dust
- Heavy water use
- Wet product, mud and slip hazards
- Small nozzles that clog and need frequent cleaning
- Added moisture can affect product quality and handling
Smart Fog Dry Fog
- Fine droplets capture fine airborne dust
- Low water and electricity consumption
- Material and floors stay dry
- Large 0.1″ orifice resists clogging, even with hard water
- No moving parts in the fogger
- Custom designed to reach your required dust levels
Built for Dusty Operations
Dry fog dust suppression is a fit wherever fine dust is released during handling or processing.

What operations and EHS teams ask us before choosing a dust control system.
How does dry fog dust suppression work?
Dry fog creates very fine water droplets that collide with airborne dust particles and bind to them. The combined particles become heavy enough to settle, so dust is controlled at the source.
Will dry fog make my material wet?
No. Dry fog uses very little water and does not soak surfaces, so your material and floors stay dry, unlike water sprays.
How is dry fog different from water sprays?
Water sprays use large droplets that tend to miss fine airborne dust and add a lot of moisture. Dry fog droplets are much smaller, target the fine dust and use far less water.
Do the nozzles clog?
Smart Fog fogger nozzles have a large 0.1″ orifice that resists clogging, even with hard water, and the fogger has no moving parts.
Can dry fog help us meet dust regulations?
Smart Fog designs custom installations to reduce dust to the levels you need for environmental and worker safety standards. Talk to an engineer about your targets.
