A new dust suppression device from Traxx
Construction Products has been designed
for use at conveyor discharge points,
creating a virtual curtain around material
flow for outstanding particle containment.
The DustBoss DB-R Ring from Dust
Control Technology (DCT) is engineered
for industrial strength and longevity, built
with a stainless steel ring outfitted with a
network of atomising nozzles that deliver
millions of 50-200 micron drops per minute.
By surrounding the discharge flow, the
DustBoss Ring provides simple, focused dust
management suited to continuous duty,
such as radial stackers.
“This design was developed for a coal
application,” DCT CEO Edwin Peterson said.
“The momentum created while
discharging dry coal was propelling
large amounts of dust into the air, and
the customer was looking for a way to
specifically address the material as it came
off the conveyor. The solution was simple
but effective, and we’re finding it’s well
suited to conveyor discharge of sand,
aggregates, biomass or other traditionally
dusty materials,” he said.
The DustBoss DB-R is available in five
standard sizes, from 17” (43.2 cm) to
100” (254 cm) in diameter. All five can be
customised with DCT’s Variable Particle
Sizing technology, allowing customers to
specify different droplet size ranges to
match specific materials.
“The greatest chance of a collision
between a dust particle and a droplet
is present when the droplet and dust
are roughly the same size, avoiding the
slipstream effect,” Edwin said.
“If we increase the chances of collision
with a given particle size, we improve the
effectiveness of the suppression.”
Dust Control Technology is a pioneer
in dust and odor control solutions for
The PR12000 Lighting Tower from PR Power
is European designed and manufactured,
and designed for use in mining and large pit
applications, producing up to 36,000m2 of
light output in a 360 degree area.
Six 2000w Metal Halide lights have been
mounted on top of the 11m hydraulically
operated mast which is secured to a heavy
duty skid base with secure steel frames for
added protection. A 20kVA Perkins powered
diesel generator powers the lighting tower
and also allows it to run additional power
tools and equipment, if required.
Although large, rugged and robust
to withstand 110km/h winds and rough
terrain, the PR12000 is easy to transport and
maneuvre designed with forklift pockets and
multiple lifting points. The access doors for
the control panel, hydraulics and generator
are all secured with lockable weather proof
doors in easy to reach areas, ensuring ease of
maintenance.
