DCT deliver acres of dust suppression
DUST Control Technology (DCT) – a global leader in large-scale dust-suppression technology – have announced another breakthrough in coverage area, with a powerful dust-trapping mist from a single machine now able to blanket more than 125,000 sq ft.
By designing a 359° oscillation option for all three of their popular ducted fan models, DCT say they can deliver what is believed to be the widest coverage of any comparably sized dust-suppression equipment.
To incorporate the expanded oscillation option, engineers capitalized on the same advancements that produced 180° coverage a year ago. This involved shifting the water inlet to a center feed to accommodate the increased range of motion, and incorporating a larger oscillation motor to handle the additional work.
‘With nearly double the coverage, users can manage dust on a given job with a reduced number of machines,’ observed DCT president Edwin Peterson. ‘Crews can maintain better focus on core activities, without having to relocate the units as often to manage adjacent areas.’
The expanded oscillation option will be available on all three of the DustBoss fan-driven designs: the DB-60, DB-45 and DB-30. Specifiers will be able to order the machines with four pre-set oscillation arcs of their choosing, allowing users to select the most appropriate coverage for specific job sites and weather conditions.
Equipped with the new 359° oscillation option, the DB-60 will cover an area of more than 2.8 acres, while the DB-45 and DB-30 will cover in excess of 70,000 sq ft and 30,000 sq ft respectively.
All of the fan-driven DustBoss models are available with the company’s 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 dust outside the typical 50–200-micron range, such as odour-causing vapors or very fine solids. Any of the DustBoss designs can be ordered with a dosing pump to add surfactants for superior particle attraction or additives for odour control, and can be equipped with a supplemental filter system to allow the use of non-potable water sources.
