Dust Control Technology introduces adjustable mounting brackets

Brackets are designed for all DustBoss suppressor sizes.

Peoria, Illinois-based Dust Control Technology (DCT) has introduced a family of adjustable mounting brackets for the DustBoss DB-R series of dust suppressors. Developed in direct response to customer feedback, the new bracket design is available to suit the entire range of ring sizes from 17 to 100 inches and can be installed in about an hour, the company says. The DB-R is engineered specifically for use at conveyor discharge points, designed to create a virtual curtain of mist around the material flow for outstanding particle containment.

“Because of the wide variation in conveyor designs, in the past we’ve left the mounting of the rings to the individual customer,” explains DCT CEO Edwin Peterson. “But it was clear that customers looked to us for guidance. So now we’ve designed an adjustable bracket that can fit virtually any conveyor design, with movable arms to allow precise location of the atomized mist circle to match the specific conveyor, material and outflow.”

The DB-R fully encircles the discharging material to apply suppression directly as the flow exits the conveyor. With no moving parts, the brackets are designed to deliver focused dust suppression on a continuous-duty basis, designed to capture fugitive particles on radial stackers and other offloading points with a durable, intrinsically safe design, DCT says. DCT says customers are finding that it’s well suited to conveyor discharge of sand, aggregates, biomass and other traditionally dusty materials.

“For some bulk material handlers, it can be a very affordable alternative to more extensive dust management tactics,” Peterson says. “Larger operations are finding that the source-point suppression of the DB-R is the perfect complement to their open-area dust control measures.”

The DB-R is currently available in nine standard sizes from 17 to 100 inches in diameter. Available options for the DB-R include a booster pump to elevate low water pressures, a variety of nozzle sizes/configurations and water filtration. Customers also can order the units with a two-way valve and/or hose included.
