In February 2026, a quarry operator in Spain contacted YG Machinery for a reliable dust cannon for sale to control heavy dust from crushing, screening, aggregate handling, and outdoor stockpiles.
Based on the large operating area, YG recommended the YG100 industrial fog cannon with a spray range of up to 100 meters. The customer initially purchased one unit and, after reporting satisfactory results, returned in August 2026 to order two additional YG80 fog cannons, bringing the total purchase to three machines.

Dust Control Challenges at the Spanish Quarry
Dust is a common problem in quarry operations, especially where large volumes of aggregates are processed and handled every day. At this Spanish quarry, several working areas required effective dust suppression.
- Crushing and screening areas: Crushing, screening, and material transfer generate airborne dust as rocks and aggregates are broken down and processed.
- Aggregate loading and unloading: Dust rises when sand, gravel, and limestone are loaded, unloaded, and transferred between different areas.
- Outdoor stockpiles: Wind can carry fine dust away from open storage areas, affecting nearby working zones and creating additional dust control challenges.
Because these activities take place across a large outdoor site, the customer needed a dust suppression solution that could cover a wide working area and reduce airborne dust without relying only on localized spraying.
Why YG Recommended the YG100 Fog Cannon
For a large quarry, the dust suppression equipment needs to reach beyond a single operating point. Considering the site’s size and multiple dust-generating areas, YG recommended the YG100 industrial fog cannon, which offers a spray range of up to 100 meters.
The fog cannon produces fine water droplets that mix with airborne dust particles, helping them settle and reducing dust spread. Its long spray range makes it suitable for outdoor applications such as crushing and screening zones, aggregate handling areas, and open stockpiles.
The YG100 provided a practical solution for the customer’s large-area dust control requirements. Rather than using several smaller units from the beginning, the customer first selected one YG100 to evaluate its performance under actual quarry conditions.

Repeat Order: Two Additional YG80 Dust Cannons
After using the YG100, the customer reported satisfactory results and decided to expand the dust suppression setup.
For the additional equipment, the customer selected two YG80 fog cannons. With a spray range of up to 80 meters, the YG80 offers another option for controlling dust in different working areas of the quarry.
The additional units allow the customer to deploy dust suppression equipment across more areas of the site, including locations where dust is generated during material processing, handling, and storage.
This repeat purchase brought the customer’s total order to three YG dust suppression machines: one YG100 and two YG80 fog cannons.

YG80 vs. YG100 Dust Cannon Specifications
YG offers different fog cannon models to meet dust suppression requirements across quarries, mines, construction sites, and other industrial environments.
For this Spanish quarry project, the customer selected the YG100 for its longer spray range and later added two YG80 units to extend dust control coverage. The main specifications are compared below.
| Specifications | YG80 | YG100 |
|---|---|---|
| Spray Range | 80 m | 100 m |
| Water Flow Rate | 12 m³/h | 12 m³/h |
| Atomized Particle Size | 30–150 μm | 30–150 μm |
| Horizontal Rotation | ±320° | 160° |
| Pitch Angle | -5° to 35° | -10° to 45° |
| Total Power | 45.25 kW | 75 kW |
| Blower Motor Power | 37 kW | 55 kW |
| Pump Motor Power | 7.5 kW | 11 kW |
| Power Supply | 380V / 50Hz / 3 Phase | 380V / 50Hz / 3 Phase |
| Number of Nozzles | 80 | 120 |
Both models use a high-pressure water pump and atomization system to produce fine water droplets for airborne dust suppression. The YG80 is suitable for areas requiring an effective spray range of up to 80 meters, while the YG100 is designed for larger working areas requiring a longer reach.
The appropriate model depends on the quarry layout, dust-generating processes, wind conditions, and required coverage. Contact YG Machinery to discuss your site conditions and get a suitable dust cannon recommendation.
