Atomized Mist Cannon

May 17, 2022
BossTek's DustBoss DB-60 Surge addresses wind, labor, and water usage issues.

Developed in response to the needs of users in areas with variable winds, the DustBoss DB-60 Surge is an atomized mist cannon designed to fight dust with maximum efficiency. The dust mitigation is achieved with water propelled at high velocity from a center nozzle combined with the industry-proven fan and misting ring system.

 

With three remote-controlled stages and precision oscillation for optimum command over water volume and coverage area, the cannon uses high-powered jets that surge through the wind for over 250 ft (76.2 m) to suppress both surface and airborne dust. The pressurized spray resists wind shear and can even use the force of the wind to further fragment and carry the droplets. All of this is achieved without the need for high water output associated with a hydrant-dependent hose or industrial sprinkler system.

 

Operators can now better match the water requirements to the specific application. Fed by a standard 1.5 in. (38 mm) hose with a cam-and-groove quick disconnect coupling, the powerful booster pump delivers as much as 500 psi (27.5 bar) of water pressure to the center nozzle with an output of 37 to 100 gpm (140-378 lpm). The versatility and coverage area are extended with the customizable 359-deg. horizontal oscillation range and 0 to 50-deg. vertical throw angle.

 

Mounted on a heavy-duty roadworthy trailer for towing at highway speeds with a standard ball hitch, it can be placed by a pickup truck, skid steer or lift truck wherever dust suppression is needed.  As supplied, the DB-60 Surge can run potable or non-potable water. After the initial setup, the DB-60 Surge requires no labor to operate. The remote control has a 1000 ft (305 m) range.
