Since 2004 · 30+ Projects · One Crusher Owners' Association · Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu
4.5 km of road, controlled every day, by one person.
Our dust control work started in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu in 2004. Since then we have completed more than 30 projects in the region, all for members of the same crusher owners' association. Between them, those installations now cover almost 80% of the mining industries in the region.
About half are repeat customers coming back with extension projects; the rest are new industries that joined as the association grew. Some take machine side dust control, some road side dust suppression, and many take both.
The most important project in the region is the association's own road system, and it was not built all at once. The first stretch put 100 RainGuns along 1.2 km of road. It was later extended with 200 more RainGuns in 2026, and handed over complete with GSM on/off control.
Today 4.5 km of road is dust controlled every single day, and one person operates the entire system. That is the point of the GSM control: on a line that long, the alternative is a man walking the road opening and closing valves, and suppression that lapses the moment he is needed elsewhere.
The extension is worth noting on its own. A road system that can be tripled in length years later — without rebuilding the original stretch — has to have been designed with pumping and pipeline headroom from the start.
This is a heavy water shortage area. There is simply not enough fresh water to run dust suppression at this scale, so the association operates a separate water tanker lorry bringing waste salt water from nearby sources. The system had to be built to tolerate poor quality water from day one — which is a very different design brief from a site with a clean borewell.

The association's road project has its own detailed write-up — see the Stone Crusher Association, Karanampettai case study for the valve layout, pillar design and pumpset detail. Coimbatore also opened our next region: a crusher owner here referred us into Madurai in 2008.

One. The association's system covers 4.5 km of road every day and a single person operates the whole installation, because the RainGuns are switched by GSM on/off control rather than by walking the line and opening valves by hand.
It has to in this region. Coimbatore's crusher belt is a heavy water shortage area, so the association runs a separate water tanker lorry bringing waste salt water from nearby sources. The system was designed from the start around the water actually available, rather than assuming a clean supply.
Yes, and this one was. The association's road project went in as two stretches — 100 RainGuns along 1.2 km first, then 200 more added in 2026 to reach the 4.5 km covered today. Designing the pumping and pipeline with headroom is what makes a later extension possible without rebuilding the original stretch.
Tell us your road length and what water you actually have — including if it is poor quality. We have been solving exactly that in Coimbatore since 2004.
