Field trial in lignite day mining shows: MAXXsoluteTM is the product for dust control and roadway stabilization

For the field trial one roadway was treated as usual with water, while the other roadway with a similar distance was treated with MAXXsoluteTM. As the dust conditions this time of year were extremely high, MAXXsoluteTM was applied on average up to 2 litres / m2 only once on the tested track.

After just an hour, dust developed already on the water-treated line but not on the line with MAXXsoluteTM. The latter was at only days later dried off, but from the beginning extremely firm and free of dust. A further treatment was also not required in the following days.

Taking about 50 EUR per hour for a truck application session (incl. driver), which regularly and continuously would need to be calculated for water treatment, a saving in the use of MAXXsoluteTM rate quickly.

 

The economy underlines by the fact that a lower burden is created for:

MAXXsoluteTM offers a perfect dust control by its hygroscopic properties (it attracts moisture from the air and keeps the soil moist).
