SMYK dusters are modern, mobile devices designed to headings mechanical dusting by means of plain stone.
The SMYK dusters are produced in three different versions, depending on the supply medium:
- SMYK, SMHY type – duster with hydraulic drive
- SMYK, SMPN type – duster with pneumatic drive
- SMYK, SMEL type – duster with electric drive

The main structural components of this duster are: hopper, pneumatic turbine, auger and motor (depending on the machine type: hydraulic, pneumatic or electric). After filling the hopper with plain stone, it is carried along the auger to a special mixing chamber, where a uniform air and dust mixture is formed. The mixture escapes outside by means of a special hose, through which an operator dusts a heading. Thanks to this uniform mixture, during the very moment of getting out of a hose it gains properties resembling the liquid ones. Due to these properties the dust covers sidewalls and roof and is evenly distributed on the whole dusted surface.
The SMYK dusters possess all necessary admissions to be used in mining (I M2).
Basic technical parameters:
SMYK duster, SMHY type (hydraulic drive):
- Supply: from hydraulics on the bottom of a mine (by means of a hydraulic fluid), from pressure bar or self-propelled combustion floor railways or suspended monorails, or other hydraulic devices
- Supplying hydraulic pressure: 120 – 130 barOil demand: – 35l/min
- Dusting range: 60m (maximum: 60m of dusting hose)
