Dust Control Technology Introduces New DustBoss DB-45

Dust Control Technology, Peoria, Ill., a manufacturer of portable dust and odor suppression equipment has announced the new mid-sized DustBoss DB-45.

The DustBoss DB-45 is designed to deliver control of airborne particles and surface dust, while using less water and manpower than traditional hand spraying techniques, the company says. Developed in response to market feedback, the portable DB-45 is well suited to indoor and outdoor recycling areas, waste processing, rock/aggregate crushing, bulk material handling 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,” says DCT CEO Edwin Peterson.  “Like its larger cousin, this model delivers a dense curtain of water droplets atomized from 50-200 microns, the specific size range that creates the greatest attraction to most dust particles.” 

Despite its compact size, the DB-45 is designed to deliver a dust barrier that covers 12,000 square feet from a single location, with a throw of nearly half a football field, the company states. All of the DustBoss models are available with the company’s patent-pending Variable Particle Sizing 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 to 200 micron range, such as odor-causing vapor and solids that may be a micron or less in diameter, the company says. 

With its 15-horsepower fan, the DB-45 generates 18,000 CFM of air flow to maximize coverage and particle capture. The new design also features adjustable elevation from

0 to 50 degrees, with 40 degrees of oscillation, and can be ordered on a wheeled-carriage mount or on a frame with a skid mount. 

Requiring just 10 pressure per square inch (psi) of constant water pressure for effective operation, the new model can be outfitted with an optional booster pump that delivers up to 200 psi for maximum performance.  The unit can also be ordered with a dosing pump to accommodate odor control additives or surfactants to further enhance binding of dust particles. 

The machine is equipped with a 30 mesh / 595 micron pre-filter and 1-1/2-inch quick cam release, and it can be set up to run potable or non-potable water. Options include single phase or international motors, secondary filter system and stainless steel or nylon nozzles for special applications.
