Dust Control Fusion system covers 100-meter range
<![CDATA[
Dust Control Technologies (DCT), Peoria, Illinois, has introduced what it calls its largest trailer-mounted dust control system, the DustBoss DB-100 Fusion. DCT says the new product features a powerful atomized mist design with a range of 100 meters and the ability to deliver 140,000 square feet (15,500 square meters) of coverage area.
The Fusion is powered by its own 480-volt, 150-kilowatt generator with a 6.8-liter John Deere Tier III flex diesel engine, all mounted on a roadworthy dual-axle trailer with stabilizing jacks.
Designed for large open-air applications such as aggregate operations, mines and coal handling plants, the unit delivers what DCT calls effective particle control in a highly-mobile platform that can be positioned directly at the source of dust-generating activities, even on sites without an available power supply. The new design can even be specified with a high-lift pump for drawing water from a stationary source, such as a private pond.
“We had many discussions with customers who were interested in expanding their dust management coverage after seeing our smaller DB-60 Fusion,” says DCT President Laura Stiverson. “We engineered the new design to meet those needs, yet still remain highly mobile and able to be towed easily just about anywhere on a job site.”
The DB-100 Fusion features a 150-gallon fuel tank, providing about 32 hours of run time without refueling. Doors are equipped with hinges and door stops designed for easy access, and the generator’s engine compartment is fitted with sound attenuation. Day-to-day operation can typically be managed by a remotely located on/off switch outside of the enclosure.
Fire hoses and couplings are supplied and stored in easy-access tool boxes, along with a spare set of nozzles and basic tools. “We’ve equipped the new design as a turnkey solution,” says Stiverson. “It may seem like small details, but the objective was to include everything needed for routine operation and maintenance, ultimately delivering the most positive customer experience possible.”
DCT describes the maintenance requirements for the new design as minimal. If potable water is being used, nozzles typically need to be inspected just once per year. The turntable bearing on the oscillator should be greased annually or as needed for harsh service conditions, and the fan’s motor and high-pressure pump should be lubricated every 10,000 hours.
