Reduce Dust and Improve Productivity

When trying to maintain a smoothly operating business you require every aspect to be under control with the most efficient systems running on a daily basis. When operating a mine this includes the need to ensure that health and safety issues are made a priority. The presence of dust produces one of those important issues that can seriously affect production output and, ultimately, profits.

When working heavily with dirt and minerals, particularly when sifting though it and digging it over, the creation of dust is going to play a large part in the operations. When fugitive dust is allowed to hang in the air, the chance of a dust explosion becomes very real. To address this problem there is a need to install and operate an effective misting system.

Misting systems are vital in the dust control at a mine site. Larger watering systems are often used to suppress the dust on the roads around the mine but a finer mist is required to settle the dust that is hanging in the air. A fine mist system is usually installed around the perimeter of the treated area to give it the greatest possible coverage.

When dust builds up the misting systems are operated and a very fine mist is produced. The water droplets are so small that they measure roughly the size of the dust particles they are controlling. The dust and the water mix together in mid-air and form a heavier compound that can no longer stay afloat. The result finds the dust getting brought to the ground clearing the air in quick time.

By using misting systems, working conditions are greatly improved. Visibility is improved which allows work to be carried out faster and the dust that would normally pose a threat to the smooth operation of machinery is no longer present.

An added benefit for those companies that have installed a misting system, as if ensuring the health of the employees wasn’t enough, is that the production has increased which means greater profits are enjoyed.

The Problem with Energy Vending

I don’t consider energy vending to be a scam but it’s not something I would personally peruse. I’m sure there are people that having some success with energy vending, but for me the risks outweigh the rewards. The machines are more expensive than traditional bulk vending machines but this isn’t my main concern, my main concern is that these machines can only vend one type of product. What happens when the energy fad fades out? What happens if you find out that energy vending isn’t working out for you? I’ll tell you what happens, you end up with a bunch of machines that you can no longer use. Good luck unloading them.

Besides the risk of having machines that can only one product, I have other concerns as well. The product can only be bought from the manufacturer, to my mind this is a risk that I don’t want to assume. It’s never a good idea to only have one place to buy your product; this means that this one business has an undue influence over your business. I also don’t like that fact that energy is the latest greatest thing, it’s almost 100% assured that the popularity of energy is going to fade out. What then?

Yes, quite possibly you can make money in energy vending, but it’s not for me, I’ll stick with my candy and nuts. Candy and nuts will always be popular, I can change them to suit the needs of my customers, I can buy the product anywhere and I can vend it from any type of machine I choose to buy, plus, candy and nuts are well suited for both children and adults which gives me a broader market base. So, if you choose to go the energy vending route, make your money quick and expect it to be only short term. When this fad runs its course, it’s going to stop on a dime; I’ve already seen lots of energy vending machines for sale online.
