Applications of Windproof and Dust Suppression Networks in Coal Mines

Windproof and dust suppression networks—carefully engineered and manufactured by professional suppliers such as Shangjing Wire Mesh—serve as an ideal solution for dust control in coal-related industrial environments. These systems are widely applied in:

• Coal storage yards at coal mines, coking plants, and power stations

• Ports, terminal coal storage yards, and various bulk material sites

• Open-air yards for steel, building materials, cement, and fertilizer industries

• Highways, railway coal transportation hubs, and construction sites

• Agricultural fields for wind and sand control during adverse weather

The effectiveness of these networks is impressive:

• A single-layer wind and dust suppression wall can reduce dust emissions by 60% to 75%

• A double-layer setup increases suppression to over 80%

These systems have become a standard for improving air quality and maintaining environmental compliance across various sectors.

Design and Construction Overview

The design and implementation of windproof and dust suppression networks involve four key components to ensure long-term performance and site adaptability:

1. Foundation Construction

Depending on project requirements, the underground foundation can be constructed using:

• Precast concrete blocks for modular assembly

• On-site cast-in-place concrete for a tailored fit

This foundation provides stable anchoring for the entire wind suppression structure.

2. Support Structure Design

The support framework must be tailored to local wind speed parameters to ensure durability and safety. Typically:

• Steel brackets are used for structural integrity and visual harmony

• Steel pipes form the main support body

• Reinforced concrete pillars enhance stability

This combination ensures that the wind and dust suppression system can withstand strong winds and environmental stressors while maintaining a clean appearance.

3. Windproof Wall Installation

The windproof and dust suppression panels are designed for a service life of 15–20 years, operating reliably in extreme temperatures from -40°C to +80°C. Installation includes:

• Fixing panels with screws and pressure plates for stability

• Customizing panel size, curvature, and perforation ratio to meet specific site needs

These installations are low-maintenance and highly resilient, suitable for long-term industrial use.

4. Retaining Brick Wall Installation

To prevent runoff and coal sludge overflow after rain or snow:

• A retaining brick wall of 1.2 to 1.5 meters high can be constructed at the base of the windproof wall

• This addition protects surrounding areas and maintains site cleanliness
