Southern Copper Corporation
Cloudburst is fast becoming the premier dust control systems supplier for the mining industry in North and South America. We have dedicated much of our resources to designing, manufacturing, and implementing game-changing dust control technology for the mining and related industries that can manage dust up to 80% more effectively than other leading technologies on the market today.
Most dust control systems have a hard time managing the volume and vastness of the dust produced by the day-to-day operations of mining. Without the proper mist particle size, delivery system, and control technology, most dust control systems simply do not work well in the mining industry. In fact, many of them are about as effective as “spitting into the wind.”
But now, with the new dust control technology developed specifically for the mining industry by Cloudburst, there is finally a real solution to this real problem. We have engineered a complete line of mobile and fixed proprietary solutions that not only work far better than others but are also more cost-effective because of their quality, dependability, and efficacy. This includes the world’s largest mobile dust suppression system, which can deliver a dust-trapping cloud of 10-micron mist up to 200 meters away!
Our new-generation dust control systems were first deployed at two large copper mines in Mexico and Peru, owned and operated by Southern Copper Corporation. Southern Copper (a subsidiary of Grupo Mexico) is the world’s largest publicly traded copper mining company and the seventh-largest copper mining company overall.
We installed our first system with them several years ago at their Cananea Mine in Mexico. It is the largest open-pit mine in Mexico and the oldest in all of North America. It was at this mine, in 2016, that we decided to review the results and effectiveness of all dust control solutions used in the mining industry—including our own—and realized there had to be a better way.
Even with control systems in place, many mines receive large fines because of dust, not to mention the impact on surrounding communities. Since then, we have dedicated significant resources to designing, engineering, and testing more effective ways to control dust in this very challenging environment. The results have been nothing less than phenomenal.
Since then, we have implemented several of our new technologies at the Cananea Mine, with our first fully integrated next-gen system installed at the Cuajone Mine in Peru, also owned and operated by Southern Copper. The results have been so impressive that Southern Copper has installed several additional systems for their Cananea and Cuajone mines and is replacing their entire dust control system at their Toquepala Mine with our technology—with many more systems soon to be launched company wide.
