Dustroid

Dustroid mounts on a pole or wall at the monitoring point. Connect solar or AC power, switch it on, and it begins sending dust data to Envizom.

Use the prevailing wind direction to pick boundary points downwind of dusty activities and close to neighbours. Avoid spots blocked by walls, hoardings or stockpiles.

Most sites start with at least two, one upwind and one downwind, so the site's own contribution is clear. Larger or multi-activity sites add units along other boundaries.

Install it at the site boundary, downwind of dust-laden activities such as haul roads, crushers and stockpiles, and towards nearby neighbours. Mount it in open airflow, not directly beside the dust source.

Dustroid measures PM1, PM2.5, PM10 and PM100, where PM100 represents total suspended particulate (TSP).

Yes. When dust crosses your set limit, Dustroid can switch on sprinklers, mist cannons or alarms through its relay output and Envizom automation, and send email or SMS alerts.

Yes. Dustroid works with Envizom and can share data with SCADA or other reporting platforms through REST APIs and Modbus.

A heated inlet removes moisture so fog and humidity do not inflate readings, and the weatherproof IP66 enclosure protects the electronics. Remote diagnostics flag any issue early.

Install real-time dust monitors on the boundary, both upwind and downwind of the work. The difference shows the site's contribution, and alerts warn the team when limits are close.

A real-time monitor uses light scattering to give readings every few minutes, so teams can act immediately. A gravimetric sampler collects dust on a filter that is weighed in a lab, which is the reference method but takes longer.

An optical particle counter-based monitor that sizes particles across the full range is suitable. Dustroid, for example, reports PM1, PM2.5, PM4.25, PM10 and PM100 at the same time.

Automate dust monitors with sprinklers or water cannons so they run automatically only when dust exceeds the limit. This keeps dust under control while saving water and manpower.

Check the particle sizes your permit requires, recognised certifications such as MCERTS, and how the monitor handles humidity. Data uptime, alerts and compliance-ready reports are equally important.
