There are many choices for dust collection and suppression systems in crushing plant, including bag filters, scrubbers, cartridge collectors, surfactants, water sprays and sonic fog. Whether one system or a combination is selected, care must be taken to provide service and maintenance access.

1. Control, lube, compressor and electrical rooms should all be well-ventilated.
2. Surge bins must include collection hoods
3. The take-away conveyor should have provisions for dust collection/suppression.
4. Determine whether dust-collector air must be preheated in cold climates.
5. A collector fan silencer should be considered, as fan noise can be excessive in closed areas.
6. If an aircooling system is selected for crusher-oil, it will require venting for hot-air evacuation.
