Dust Control Technology unveils new nozzle technology for greater particulate control.
Dust Control Technology has introduced a new nozzle design for its atomised misting equipment, engineered specifically for applications requiring smaller droplet sizes or reduced water volumes to minimize surface wetting. Developed in response to customer requests, the new Midget nozzles are suitable for indoor applications such as interior demolition and recycling, in which the water volumes from standard nozzle configurations could be undesirable.
“Some dust management applications are particularly sensitive to excess water,” explained technical sales specialist Carl Harr. “It could be that there are people and/or machinery working continuously in the immediate vicinity, or because the end product could be damaged by too much moisture. The Midget nozzles give us an option that can still deliver very good particle control, while reducing the total water applied by about 65%.”
“The Midgets also deliver a consistently smaller droplet size, which can be an advantage with very fine particulates,” Harr continues. “While the overall size range is still 50-200 microns, the water is atomized to a consistently smaller droplet, producing greater numbers in the lower size range. Since the best chance to create a collision between water droplets and dust particles occurs when they are roughly the same size, the smaller droplets are effective on very fine dust.
