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 each job site and weather conditions.
To incorporate the expanded
oscillation option, engineers capitalized on the same advancements that
produced 180° coverage a year ago.
They shifted the water inlet to a center feed to accommodate the
increased range of motion, and incorporated a larger oscillation motor to
handle the additional work.
The DB-60 employs a series of 30
specially-designed brass nozzles to atomize water into droplets 50-200 microns
in size, the optimum for effective dust particle attraction. Launched by a powerful 25 HP (18.6 Kw)
motor that generates 30,000 CFM (nearly 850 cubic meters
per minute), the atomized spray has a throw of more than 200 feet (approx.
60 meters) to produce the massive coverage area of more than 2.8 acres.
The oscillating DB-45 can deliver a
virtual dust barrier that covers more than 70,000 square feet (approx. 6,503
square meters), with a throw of nearly half a football field. With its 15 HP (11.2 Kw) fan, the DB-45
generates 18,000 CFM (510 CMM) of air flow to maximize coverage and particle
capture. Like the more powerful
DB-60, the design also features adjustable elevation from 0-50°. An optional 10 HP (7.5 KW) booster pump
elevates water pressure in the DB-45 as high as 200 psi for outstanding
particle suppression.
The DB-30 has long been known for
performance that belies its smaller size, capturing dust particles more
effectively than many larger machines.
Mounted on a movable carriage, the versatile unit has a 7.5 HP (5.6 Kw)
motor that generates 9,200 CFM (260 CMM).
When equipped with the new 359° oscillation option, the DB-30 can cover
more than 30,000 square feet of area (2,787 square meters), nearly ¾ of an
acre.
All of the fan-driven DustBoss models are
available with the company’s Variable Particle SizingTM 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 odor-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 odor control, and
can be equipped with a supplemental filter system permitting the use of
non-potable water sources.
Dust Control Technology is a global leader in dust and odor control
solutions for demolition, recycling, scrap processing, mining and rock
industries. The company’s DustBossÒ product line helps reduce labor costs vs.
manual sprays, freeing up manpower for more important tasks. Built for safety and rugged durability,
the units also use less water than hoses and sprinklers. Some customers have realized payback in
less than six months, netting an annual cost savings
of more than $50,000.
