Environmental Enclosures

Power generation and mining operations often place particulate monitors where conditions are toughest — near crushers, transfer points, haul roads, and site boundaries exposed to wind, dust, heat, and cold. Environmental Enclosures are designed to help monitoring systems operate as intended in these environments, extending uptime and improving data consistency.

Engineered for Harsh Locations

• Durable Construction: Built to handle dust exposure and the elements common to open-air industrial sites.
• Sampling Stability: Inlet features help promote consistent flow despite gusts and turbulence.
• Mounting Options: Tripod, mast, or pole mounts support flexible siting along roads, at transfer points, and near stockpiles.
• Power Integration: Room for batteries and pass-throughs for solar and charger connections simplifies remote deployments.
• Service-Friendly: Quick access for checks and maintenance reduces time in the field.

Use Cases

• Crusher and Screen Houses: Maintain monitoring continuity close to vibration and dust sources.
• Haul Roads and Ramps: Place monitors at strategic bends and grades to capture representative conditions.
• Stockpiles and Loadouts: Support longer-term tracking during seasonal and operational shifts.
• Perimeter and Community Edge: Enable continuous fenceline monitoring with solar and cellular packages.

Program Benefits

• More Consistent Data: Stabilized sampling improves comparability across sites and seasons.
• Extended Operation: Power and enclosure integration help sustain long-term deployments.
• Safer Maintenance Routines: Service features help reduce time near active equipment and traffic.

Deployment Tips

• Elevate intakes above ground-level recirculation and splash zones.
• Use guyed masts or robust mounts to manage wind loads.
• Plan cable routing to avoid abrasion and snagging near operations.
• Schedule periodic inlet checks and filter changes to maintain performance.

With Environmental Enclosures, DustTrak Environmental Monitors can be positioned where power and mining teams need insight most. The result is clearer visibility into particulate trends that supports better decisions and more predictable operations.
