AR Demolition is using a Dustfighter DF7500MPT dust suppression unit on a site in Leicester, UK, to minimise dust impact on air quality levels in the immediate neighbourhood of the site. Supplied by ACE Plant through UK distributor TowerLight UK, the Dustfighter is manufactured by Milan, Italy, based DF Ecology. It provides a powerful water spread from an entirely self-contained unit that needs no mains power or water connections to operate. Operating power comes from an on board silenced generator and the unit is fitted onto a towable trailer for transport.

According to AR Demolition's Richard Dolman: "The Dustfighter is a versatile, compact and a very user friendly unit, particularly when using the remote control. The Dustfighter is almost effortless to operate and fits in well with our forward thinking approach to demolition, protection of the public, our staff and the environment."
