Metal + Waste Recycling Ltd Invests in DustBoss Dust Suppression Units from Inmalo

Following extensive comparisons and appraisals of mobile dust suppression equipment in the UK - and after a site demonstration of a DustBoss DB-60 - Metal + Waste Recycling Limited has taken delivery of ten of these versatile dust suppressors from UK importer INMALO. Five units are wheeled and the others are skid versions, with the machines being deployed in a number of Metal + Waste's locations throughout the UK.

Metal + Waste Recycling is one of the country's largest metals recycling specialists, with a series of sites strategically located around the UK, processing, reclaiming and recycling a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, C&D, industrial and commercial waste for re-use in manufacturing new products worldwide. The company specialises in factory collections and total waste management, including WEEE and ELV processing, fragmentizing, shearing and baling, with export markets predominantly served by containerised reclaimed materials and foundry-ready secondary metals.

The very nature of the business means that dust creation is unavoidable. Metal + Waste has always paid particular attention to the environmental impact dust can cause, with tailor-made static dust suppression systems installed at all their operations to ensure maximum control of the problem. However, the company has found that static dust suppression is not always sufficient and has taken steps to seek an efficient and cost-effective solution by investing in DustBoss units. "We had tested the market and looked at a number of mobile dust suppressors" said Metal + Waste director John Rice "and were impressed with the build quality and efficacy of the DustBoss DB-60. INMALO loaned us a unit on demonstration" he continued, "and we were impressed with its performance, which convinced us that these were the dust suppressors we should invest in. The mobility of the DustBoss DB-60 means that we can take it to any area on our sites - be it stockpiling or processing - set it up and have it running in no time at all. We are finding that the dust-suppressed areas covered are far greater than we can achieve with just a static system and, in effect, we can take our dust suppression to where it is needed most and move it on to another area quickly and easily".

The DB-60 uses a series of 30 specially-designed brass nozzles to atomize water droplets to the optimum size for maximum particle attraction and coverage, launching them with a powerful 25HP fan. The unit's suppression efficiency derives from its ability to balance a number of critical properties that tend to work against one another, such as droplet size, spray pattern, air flow, range and velocity. The ducted fan delivers 850m³ of air flow per minute through the barrel, giving it a throw of more than 60 metres. The DB-60 has an adjustable elevation from 0 -50 and a 40 oscillating head which can cover nearly half an acre and the wheeled mobile unit can be easily located to wherever it's specifically needed.
