DustBoss delivers dust control

Archiv – The new DustBoss DB-45 is a mid-sized unit that delivers control of airborne particles and surface dust while requiring less water and manpower than traditional hand-spraying techniques. According to US manufacturer Dust Control Technology (DCT), the portable DB-45 is well suited to indoor and outdoor recycling areas, waste processing and other dust-generating operations in confined or covered areas.New Product | The new DustBoss DB-45 is a mid-sized unit that delivers control of airborne particles and surface dust while requiring less water and manpower than traditional hand-spraying techniques. According to US manufacturer Dust Control Technology (DCT), the portable DB-45 is well suited to indoor and outdoor recycling areas, waste processing and other dust-generating operations in confined or covered areas.
’This unit is designed for applications in which the power and long throw of our larger unit would be inappropriate, but there’s still a need for significant coverage,’€™ explains DCT’€™s CEO Edwin Peterson. ‘€˜Like its larger cousin, this model delivers a dense curtain of water droplets atomised from 50-200 microns, the specific size range that creates the greatest attraction to most dust particles.’€™
Despite its compact size, the oscillating DB-45 can deliver a virtual dust barrier that covers 12 000 square feet (1115 square metres) from a single location, with a throw equivalent to nearly half a football field.
All DustBoss models are available with the company’€™s patent-pending Variable Particle Sizing (VPS) technology, providing customers with a wide selection of different nozzles for suppressing a broad range of particle sizes. VPS can be used to control airborne dust outside the typical 50-200 micron range such as odour-causing vapour and solids of a micron or less in diameter.
With its 15 HP (11.2 kW) fan, the DB-45 generates 18 000 cfm (510 cmm) of air-flow to maximise coverage and particle capture, and requires just 10 psi (0.689 bar) of constant water pressure.
