Since 2008 · 15+ Projects · Mainly Machine Side · 100–150 TPH Crushers · Madurai, Tamil Nadu
One referral from Coimbatore opened the whole region.
Our first dust suppression project in the Madurai region came in 2008, through a contact of a Coimbatore crusher owner. The association work we had been doing in Coimbatore is what opened the door — one recommendation between crusher owners.
Four projects were finished in that same year, and we have completed more than 15 in the region as of 2026.
What Madurai customers ask for is not what Coimbatore asks for. Here the demand is mainly machine side dust control during the crushing of blue metals. Only 3 of the projects have both machine side and road side systems installed; the rest are machine side only.
The plants are also a different size. Many crushers here are installed at 100 to 150 TPH and run for an average of 16 hours a day. That running time matters more than the rated capacity when sizing a system — water consumption and nozzle wear both follow hours run, not tonnes rated. Water comes from nearby borewells or from the quarry pit itself.
The 20 HP stainless steel pumpset standing in the quarry pit it was built for.
Taking water from the pit is the obvious economy, and it is where most pumps die. Quarry water is dirty water — slurry and stone particles from blasting — and ordinary pumps lose their impellers, bearings and shafts to it.
So we supply a high discharge stainless steel submersible pumpset built for the job: wear resistant beyond any pump in the market, with a special guard that protects the motor from everyday blasting.

Madurai is one of six regions in our dust control record. See the full overview of both system types, or the Karur region, where a similar machine-side demand ran into the cone crusher dust problem.
Not always. In the Madurai region demand is mainly machine side dust control during the crushing of blue metals, and only 3 of our 15+ projects there have both machine side and road side systems installed. Whether you need the road side too depends on how much vehicle movement and stock yard exposure your site has, not on the crusher itself.
Many are installed at 100 to 150 TPH capacity and run an average of 16 hours a day. That daily running time matters more than the headline capacity when sizing a dust system, because water consumption and nozzle wear both follow hours run rather than tonnes rated.
In the Madurai region, from nearby borewells or from the quarry pit itself. Pit water is free and close at hand, but it is dirty water carrying slurry and stone particles — which is why the pump matters as much as the dust system it feeds.
We supply a high discharge stainless steel submersible pumpset of 20 to 30 HP, delivering 60,000 litres per hour with 200 feet of vertical pumping capacity. It is wear resistant beyond any pump in the market for dirty water, and comes with a special guard that protects the motor from everyday blasting. Two were specially designed and erected in Madurai region quarries handling 10 lakh litres a day through the rainy season.
Tell us your TPH, your daily running hours and where your water comes from. We will size the dust system — and the pump to feed it.
