Your shop will stay clean from silica dust, and you’ll notice a significant drop in your water bill.

Very easy! After just a week, when your drain and machines are completely clean, you’ll be able to reduce the amount of BestSTONE entering your pit. The system is simple to operate, and our team is always here to help with any questions you may have.

Yes! BestSTONE can be applied directly to your pit, seamlessly integrating with your existing system for enhanced performance and efficiency.

Wet cutting in stone shops offers significant advantages:

• Dust Control: Minimizes harmful silica dust.
• Blade Longevity: Prevents overheating and wear.
• Precision: Keeps blades cool and sharp for accurate cuts.
• Efficiency: Lubrication speeds up cutting.
• Safety: Reduces silica exposure for a healthier crew.

However, wet cutting generates concrete slurry—a challenging byproduct requiring proper management.

Stone slurry isn’t just messy—it’s hazardous and poses significant health, safety, and environmental risks in stone shops:

• Safety Risks: Slippery surfaces increase the risk of accidents for workers.
• Clogged Drains: Solids obstruct pipes and pit systems, leading to bacteria growth and unpleasant odors.
• Machine Damage: Using grey water instead of clean water harms your equipment, leading to malfunctions and reduced lifespan.
• Health Hazards: Dried slurry releases harmful silica dust, which poses serious respiratory risks. Improper handling allows recycled silica to re-enter the lungs.
• Equipment Malfunctions: Clogged pumps and pipes can cause breakdowns and costly repairs.

Improper slurry disposal not only disrupts operations but also harms the environment. Proper slurry management is essential for protecting workers, maintaining equipment, and ensuring safe, eco-friendly practices in your stone shop.

The best slurry solution is proper slurry management—essential for safety, compliance, and environmental protection.

YES! Not only will your water be clean and clear, but by reusing it, you’ll also ensure that all your pipes remain clean from the inside. This leads to longer-lasting tools and machines, improving the overall efficiency and lifespan of your equipment. Best Slurry System keeps your water—and your operations—flowing smoothly!

Silica: A Silent Threat in Concrete Manufacturing
Silica dust is a significant hazard in concrete production, as it constitutes 20-40% of the concrete mix. Exposure to silica dust poses severe health risks to workers, including:

• Silicosis: An incurable lung disease caused by inhaling fine silica particles.
• Lung Cancer: Prolonged exposure increases the risk of developing cancer.
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): A group of lung conditions that cause breathing difficulties.
• Kidney Disease: Silica exposure has been linked to kidney damage over time.

The Scale of the Problem
In the United States alone, approximately 2.3 million workers across various industries are exposed to silica dust annually.

Physical Hazards
Beyond health risks, silica poses additional dangers in different weather conditions:

• When it rains: Wet silica surfaces become extremely slippery, increasing the risk of slips and falls.
• When it’s dry: Silica dust disperses into the air, reducing air quality and increasing inhalation risks.

Proper precautions, such as dust control measures, respiratory protection, and safe work practices, are essential to minimize these dangers.
