DUSTZEN® Transport Bulk Material Sealing
DUSTZEN® · Bulk Transport Sealing

DUSTZEN®
TRANSPORT

Top-surface sealing technology for coal, ore, mineral fines and other bulk materials carried in open rail cars and trucks—designed to reduce windblown dust, product loss and corridor emissions.

Open Rail Wagons Tipper Trucks Coal & Coke Ore & Mineral Fines
Protect Every Open Load

Create a flexible seal before the vehicle departs.

Airflow over an open load can lift exposed fines throughout the journey. DUSTZEN Transport is sprayed across the profiled top surface after loading. As water evaporates, the polymer develops a cohesive veneer that helps the load resist wind shear, vibration and normal settling.

Windblown-Dust Reduction

Helps prevent exposed fines from leaving the rail car or truck body.

Reduced Product Loss

Retains more saleable material during long-haul movement.

Flexible Veneer

Designed to accommodate limited load settlement without brittle failure.

Fast In-Line Treatment

Suitable for repeatable spray application after loading and profiling.

The Transport Challenge

Speed, crosswinds and vibration continuously disturb the load.

Unprotected bulk material can shed fine particles from loading site to destination. Plain water offers only temporary wetting and may evaporate before the most exposed part of the route.

01 · AIRFLOW

Wind Shear

Air moving across the load removes dry, light particles from the exposed surface.

02 · MOVEMENT

Load Settlement

Vibration and shifting can open untreated seams and expose new fines.

03 · VALUE

Material Loss

Repeated loss over long routes reduces delivered mass and creates cleanup costs.

04 · CORRIDOR

Off-Site Emissions

Visible dust can affect roads, rail corridors, communities and compliance performance.

How DUSTZEN Transport Works

Four stages from loading to protected transit

01

Profile

Level and shape the load so the complete exposed surface can be reached uniformly.

02

Spray

Apply the diluted solution through an overhead header, gantry or mobile boom.

03

Bind

The polymer distributes through the upper fines and develops particle cohesion.

04

Seal

After drying, a flexible veneer helps the load resist wind and transit movement.

Application Strategy

Match treatment strength to route severity.

The optimum concentration and spray volume depend on material fineness and moisture, load geometry, wagon or truck dimensions, route speed, journey duration, weather and required protection.

1:20–100 DUSTZEN Transport : Water

Use the stronger end of the range for very fine or dry material, high speeds, long journeys and severe crosswinds. Higher dilution may suit shorter routes or damp material. Finalise settings through a controlled route trial.

Short-Haul
Trucks

Target uniform sealing with practical drying time before the vehicle enters public or exposed roads.

Long-Haul
Rail

Use a repeatable gantry programme that covers the full wagon length, edges and centre crown.

Severe Wind /
Fine Material

Evaluate stronger concentration or two controlled passes while avoiding runoff and excess load moisture.

Application Procedure

Build a continuous, repeatable top seal.

Accurate vehicle positioning, consistent flow and complete edge coverage are more important than heavy local wetting.

STEP 01

Load & Profile

Complete loading, level high spots and create a stable, sprayable top surface.

STEP 02

Prepare Solution

Charge clean water first, add DUSTZEN Transport slowly and mix gently.

STEP 03

Position Vehicle

Align the wagon or truck beneath the calibrated spray header or boom.

STEP 04

Apply Uniformly

Run overlapping passes across the centre, edges and full load length.

STEP 05

Dry & Release

Confirm complete coverage and allow initial film development before dispatch.

Technical Profile & Validation

Confirm seal performance on the actual load and route.

Recommended Route-Trial Checks

  • Coverage across centre, shoulders and load edges
  • Veneer continuity after drying
  • Dust emissions at representative route speeds
  • Condition after vibration, braking and load settlement
  • Performance in crosswinds and dry weather
  • Delivered mass and wagon or truck cleanliness
  • Unloading and downstream process compatibility

Confirm environmental suitability, receiver requirements and material quality before full-scale adoption.

Technical FAQs

Common questions before a transport trial

Does DUSTZEN replace a physical cover? +
It is a spray-applied surface veneer, not a rigid lid or tarpaulin. The correct containment method must follow material, route and regulatory requirements.
Can the treated load be unloaded normally? +
Normally the surface seal breaks during unloading, but unloading behaviour and downstream compatibility must be confirmed in the route trial.
Can application be automated? +
Yes. Fixed gantries and spray headers can be interlocked with vehicle position and speed for repeatable treatment.
How is performance verified? +
Inspect the load before and after transit, observe visible emissions along the route, and compare delivered mass and residue against an untreated baseline.
