The latest machine control technology has played an important role in an airport runway upgrade for Mallorca. The Spanish island has long been a major tourist destination and its airport has been struggling to cope with demand, handling around 26 million passengers in 2016. Palma de Mallorca Airport is the third largest airport in Spain and during the peak summer holiday period, the massive influx of tourists makes it one of the busiest airports in Europe.
BOMAG claims that its new Ion Dustshield system can help reduce dust emissions from milling operations.
According to Jonathan Stringham, vice president of marketing at BOMAG: “If you look at the milling process, it’s another emitter of fine dust.”
He said that existing dust control systems remove dust from the working area around the operator, but then blow the fumes and dust forward of the machine away from the crew.
