WLP700 Fog Cannon
Available for rent or purchase
Dust-A-Side Australia has partnered with WLP Systems, an innovative Italian company world-renowned for specialising in the design and production of equipment and systems to improve the quality of the air we breathe. Dust-A-Side Australia is the exclusive distributor of WLP fog cannons for Australasia which are available for both rent or purchase.
The WLP700 fog cannon model is suitable for heavy duty use in extreme conditions. The cannon can be used without compromise in large quarries, mines, tunnels, large demolition sites, steelworks, or in any place where atomisation is a valid aid for environmental control.
The multi-row atomisation crown system, combined with its stainless steel nozzles, allows the quantity of water to be regulated to achieve maximum efficiency.

What is a fog cannon?
A fog cannon is a high-performance dust suppression system that uses a fine mist of water droplets to capture and settle dust particles. The system creates a ‘fog’ that envelops dust emissions, thereby reducing airborne particulate matter effectively.
How do fog cannons work?
These systems atomise water through specialised nozzles to produce a fine mist. When discharged, the tiny droplets attach to dust particles, increasing their weight and causing them to settle on the ground. This process helps maintain air quality and minimise environmental impact.
What applications are fog cannons designed for?
What distinguishes these fog cannons from our other product offerings?
What are the key components of the fog cannon system?
Key components include the high-pressure water pump, atomising nozzles, control systems, and, in some models, a hydraulic arm. The hydraulic arm variant offers enhanced manoeuvrability and precise targeting, ensuring optimal distribution of the water mist.
What are the differences between the multi-directional fog cannon and the hydraulic arm variant?
The core fog cannon technology is identical in both versions—the choice depends on the application:
- Multi-Directional Fog Cannon: Designed for applications where broad coverage is required. It features rotation and tilt capabilities, allowing for effective dust suppression across a wide area. This option is ideal for sites where elevation adjustment is not necessary.
- Hydraulic Arm Fog Cannon: Incorporates a hydraulic arm for additional flexibility, enabling precise elevation control to target specific areas, particularly in complex or uneven site layouts.
Both options provide the same high-performance dust suppression, with the hydraulic arm variant offering enhanced adaptability for more challenging environments.
What technical specifications should I be aware of?
How is the fog cannon commissioned?
Commissioning involves a thorough process that includes:
- A pre-installation site assessment
- System setup and calibration
- Integration with existing water and power supplies
- Final performance testing to ensure optimal mist dispersion
What support is provided during the commissioning process?
Our technical team provides on-site support, detailed installation guides, and training sessions for your operational staff. This ensures that the equipment is set up correctly and that your team is confident in managing the system.
How long does the commissioning process take?
What performance improvements can I expect from using a fog cannon?
Our fog cannons are designed to achieve significant reductions in airborne dust, thereby enhancing air quality and reducing health risks associated with dust exposure. Performance metrics are validated under field conditions to ensure consistent results.
How is the effective coverage area determined?
Are there adjustable operating parameters?
How do fog cannons contribute to environmental protection?
What safety features are integrated into the design?
Key safety features include:
- Robust construction designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions
- Built-in control systems to prevent over-pressurisation
- Automated shut-off mechanisms in the event of system malfunctions
- Clearly marked safety protocols and operational guidelines for installation and use
Are there any specific regulatory compliances met by these systems?
What are the lead times for fog cannon orders?
We have stock available. Lead times vary depending on system configuration, customisation requirements, and current order volume. Our sales team will provide an estimated delivery schedule once project specifics are discussed.
What logistics support is available?
We offer comprehensive logistics support including:
- Detailed planning of equipment delivery and installation
- Coordination with local transport and installation teams
- On-site assistance during the initial setup phase
How are pricing and costs determined?
Pricing is based on factors such as system size, model type (multi-directional vs hydraulic arm), installation complexity, and any required customisation. A detailed quote is provided after assessing your site requirements and operational needs.
What maintenance is required for optimal performance?
Regular maintenance tasks include:
- Routine inspection of nozzles and hydraulic systems
- Periodic cleaning of water filters and pump components
- Calibration of control systems to maintain efficient operation
- Our maintenance schedules are designed to maximise equipment uptime and prolong service life.
Are spare parts and technical support readily available?
What is the expected service life of these systems?
Is there a warranty provided?
What additional benefits do fog cannons offer beyond dust suppression?
Beyond primary dust suppression, these systems can:
- Improve workplace health by reducing airborne particulates
- Enhance compliance with environmental regulations
- Potentially lower operational costs by minimising dust-related equipment wear and cleaning expenses
- Contribute to a safer, more sustainable work environment
How do hydraulic arm models add value?
Are there any energy efficiency or operational cost benefits?
Yes. The optimised design of our fog cannons ensures that water usage and energy consumption are minimised while maintaining high dust suppression performance, ultimately leading to lower operating costs over time.
