Quadruples dust suppression area

Quadruples dust suppression area
With the introduction of a 180° oscillation option on its two largest designs, effectively quadrupling the coverage area of each machine, Dust Control Technology is now able to deliver effective particle control over more than 80,000 square feet of area from a single location with its flagship model, the DustBoss DB-60. This allows users to cover nearly two full acres with a powerful dust-trapping mist. 

"These new options mean that customers can suppress dust and odour particles over a far greater area without having to move the equipment," commented DCT president Edwin Peterson.  "That contributes to even greater payback, either by reducing the number of machines needed for a given job or avoiding the need to relocate the DustBoss to cover additional areas."

When equipped with the expanded oscillation option, the revised designs require that engineers change to a centre water feed to accommodate the increased range of motion.  They also install a larger motor on the DB-60 or its cousin, the DustBoss DB-45, to handle the additional work.  The machines will have four different settings, and users can select from 45, 90, 135 or 180° options to suit the specific job requirements on any given day. 

The DB-60 employs a series of 30 specially-designed brass nozzles to atomise water into droplets 50-200 microns in size, the optimum for effective particle attraction.  Launched by a powerful 25 HP motor that generates 850 m3/minute, the atomised spray has a throw of more than 60 m, yet the carriage-mounted device is completely portable, allowing it to be located wherever it's needed most.  The unit has an adjustable throw angle from 0-50° elevation.  An optional 7.5 KW booster pump elevates water pressure in the DB-60 as high as 200 psi for outstanding particle suppression. 

The oscillating DB-45 can deliver a virtual dust barrier that covers more than 3,716 square meters, with a throw of nearly half a football field.  With its 15 HP (11.2 Kw) fan, the DB-45 generates 510 CMM of airflow to maximise coverage and particle capture.  Like the more powerful DB-60, the design also features adjustable elevation from 0-50°.
