RAPID Spray has been manufacturing water trailers and tanks for the mining industry for more than 20 years.
Headquartered in Singleton, in the heart of the Hunter Valley mining scene, Rapid Spray recently launched the PolyMax range: a dedicated range of trailers and skid units dedicated to applying liquid polymer emulsions.
Polymer emulsions are high-tech bonding agents specifically engineered to bond soil particles together and maintain control over dust for long periods of time.
Many mine sites are beginning to see the benefits and water savings of using polymer-based dust control agents for applications from haul roads to stockpiles.
The requirement to conserve onsite water due to drought conditions has continued to drive the adoption of this technology.
Issues such as the sticky polymer clogging the pumps and the nozzles occur when equipment hasn’t been designed specifically for polymer spraying, making it a constant struggle for many companies to find a way to reliably and efficiently apply the products.
It is for this reason that Rapid Spray has designed the dedicated PolyMax range: a full polymer emulsion spraying solution that is reliable, efficient and removes the worry of clogged pumps or nozzles.
Rapid Spray general manager Russell Firth said many operators had tried using standard water delivery equipment in the past with disappointing and unreliable results.
“That’s why we have developed the PolyMax range; to give teams who don’t have time to waste, equipment that won’t waste time,” he said.
The PolyMax range utilises oil-backed diaphragm pumps and tank agitation systems to ensure consistent product delivery through either handheld nozzles, batter sprayers or pressure bars when needed for larger area coverage.
A customised 1100 Puma PolyMax trailer recently delivered to a large Tier 1 contracting firm also featured an on-board safety hand wash system and dedicated 70L flush tank to make cleaning pumps and nozzles incredibly easy between material changes.
Flushing the tank and lines so there is no leftover residue ensures ongoing reliability and safety.
Working from a base of proven tough chassis and tank designs, the Rapid Spray team can build any polymer spraying solution in capacities from 800L to 15,000L to suit any site’s needs and specifications.
With a dedicated mining solutions team, ISO9001 certified and capable of delivering to MDG15 specifications, Rapid Spray can offer complete confidence to its clients in their next investment in dust control.
