Dust-A-Side Australia is the exclusive distributor of WLP Fog Cannons in Australasia, representing a leading European manufacturer renowned for its expertise in designing and producing equipment to improve the quality of the air we breathe.
Our range of WLP Fog Cannons can now be ordered with an innovative hydraulic arm system. This advanced upgrade enhances flexibility and significantly improves dust control, making it highly effective for managing dust at elevated heights and in challenging environments. Fully mobile and compatible with standard water tanks and power generators, this solution elevates dust management to the next level.
Introducing the Hydraulic Arm Advantage
The hydraulic arm system can lift the fog cannon unit to heights exceeding five metres, allowing operators to cover larger areas with precision, efficiency, and flexibility. This height advantage enables targeted mist projection, reduces wind interference, and extends the reach of the water jet for optimal dust suppression even in windy conditions.
This feature is particularly well-suited for industries such as mining, civil construction, quarries, cement production, demolition, and agriculture.
Safety First
- Parachute valves activate automatically if a hydraulic pipe fails.
- Position sensors prevent the cannon from moving while the hydraulic arm is in the rest position.
- Four stabilising hand-jacks ensure secure positioning, even on uneven ground.
Enhanced Mobility
- Integrated lifting and hooking systems allow easy transport with a forklift or mobile trolley.
Effective in Windy Conditions
- Elevating the cannon ensures precise mist projection, reducing wind interference and extending the water jet’s reach.
Ease of Use
- Radio-controlled operation enables safe remote management, including raising and lowering the hydraulic arm.
Built to Last
- Made from high-quality materials with durable electronics, ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments.
Advanced Technology
- High-pressure jet nozzles convert water into a fine mist, effectively capturing dust particles.
Optimised Water Use
- Reduces water-related risks, such as slippery surfaces, through controlled output.
Energy Efficient
- Compact and energy-efficient, designed to minimise water usage and energy consumption.
Seamless Integration
- Easily integrates with existing systems and communication networks.
Optional Weather Monitoring
- Adjusts mist projection automatically based on wind direction for optimal performance.

How Fog Cannons work
A Fog Cannon pumps highly pressurised water through a series of jet nozzles, turning the water into mist through atomisation. This fine mist is dispersed through the air by a powerful fan. When airborne dust particles hit the mist, the particles are captured, and the water dissipates before ever having the chance to spread.
Dust-A-Side Australia Fog Cannons can be strategically placed near sources of dust, such as tip areas, roads or loading areas, to achieve effective dust suppression. They can be auto activated by remote control centres, radar sensor, weather sensors or by means of remote activation (e.g. for blasting operations). The amount of water being used by the cannons can also be fully controlled to optimise water consumption.
Fog Cannons are typically set up on skids or a trailer for ease of mobility. They can also be self-powered through inclusion of an in-built diesel generator. Dust-A-Side Australia proudly supplies cannons in a variety of sizes, with different throw ranges that can be either fixed or oscillating. Multiple fans can also be interlinked on larger sites for ease of operation and control.
Dust-A-Side packages
Full Service
In addition to having a full time project supervisor on site, Dust-A-Side can also supply clients with required assets and personnel such as trucks, water carts, graders, suppression equipment and operators. Telemetry, consulting, project management and reporting are available with a Full Service package.
Managed Service
A full time project supervisor from Dust-A-Side will attend site to oversee the delivery and implementation of all dust control solutions, utilising the clients existing assets (e.g. water carts). The project supervisor will provide further support through telemetry, consulting, project management and reporting in order to help clients achieve the most efficient and cost effective outcomes possible
Remote Supervision
One of our project supervisors can visit your site at agreed upon times in order to provide telemetry, consulting and reporting. We’ll evaluate the effectiveness of the solutions and products we’ve provided and make recommendations to improve efficiency.
Supply Only
Binder products can be supplied in bulk or via intermediate bulk containers. Dust-A-Side will advise clients on how much of the product to apply and how often. Clients then apply the products using their own equipment.
Rental
Dust control equipment such as fog cannons can be rented as required and clients can manage the operation of the equipment.
