Tower Mounts Expand Dust Control Options
Dust Control Technology has developed a
family of tower mounts for its atomized mist-ing equipment that extends droplet hang
time and range, while providing more precise
aiming capability. By delivering millions of
50-200 micron droplets per minute from
above dust-generating activities, tower-mounted units help commercial operations
achieve superior particle control and prevent
dust from migrating off-site, according to the
company. Designed to withstand wind loads
of at least 100 mi/hr, the towers are con-structed of carbon steel pipe, hot dip galva-nized to resist corrosion. Three tower sizes
are currently available: The 6-in. base tube
is generally employed on tower heights
under 15 ft, and is compatible with the stan-dard oscillation package. For greater eleva-tion, 8-in.-diameter towers are used, and for
heavy-duty applications 10-in.-diameter
flange-mounted towers are available, which
are secured directly into concrete. Available
in heights up to 20 ft, the large diameter
allows hoses and power cords to be routed
inside the tower for protection and a "clean-er" appearance. The flange-mounted units
feature programmable oscillation, with a
customer-settable range from 0-359º.
Climbing rungs, work platforms, booster
pumps and additive metering systems are all
available as options. Once installed, users
have two options for raising and lowering the
tower: A manual jack allows operators to use
the jack handle to change the height. When
fitted with an optional electric jack, height
changes can be made via the control panel
or remote control unit.
