DustBoss DB-100 from DCT delivers massive coverage area

Dust Control Technology, among the leaders in open area dust suppression, has announced its newest and largest-ever design with the introduction of the DustBoss DB-100. Engineered specifically to deliver the power to reach the working face of large quarries and open cast mines, the new dust suppressor has a range of more than 100m, giving it ample reach to cover material stockpiles 61m-91.5m high. The giant atomised misting unit from DCT stands nearly 2.4m tall, and can cover an area of more than 26,000m²

Dust Control Technology’s largest-ever dust suppresordesign, the DustBoss DB-100
2594 Dust Control Technology, among the leaders in open area dust suppression, has announced its newest and largest-ever design with the introduction of the DustBoss DB-100.

Engineered specifically to deliver the power to reach the working face of large quarries and open cast mines, the new dust suppressor has a range of more than 100m, giving it ample reach to cover material stockpiles 61m-91.5m high.

The giant atomised misting unit from DCT stands nearly 2.4m tall, and can cover an area of more than 26,000m² from a single location.

The DB-100 was designed with input from some of the world’s leading mining and quarrying companies, with data collected from numerous site visits, where visibility around huge working areas can be profoundly impacted by dust.

“Most operations use water trucks to wet down haul roads before trucks enter the area for loading,” says DCT CEO Edwin Peterson.  “Unfortunately, the technique is only marginally beneficial on surface dust, and it has virtually no effect on airborne particles.

“This new unit will reach all the way to the working face of a quarry or mine, knocking down dust from the shovel right as it picks up or drops material. With the improved visibility and air quality, quarrying and mining companies can maintain a safer and more productive workplace.”

    Liebherr has added a second model to its articulated hauler range with the TA240. The 40 tonne capacity truck has a 27m3 body and a 6x6 driveline. Power comes from a 16.2 litre Stage IIIB Liebherr V8 diesel engine delivering 350kW (476hp). This enables the truck to reach maximum speeds of up to 57km/h. A high performance retarder helps to bring the truck to a halt and can be preselected, with both the engine brake and the retarder working as soon as the driver lifts their foot from the throttle pedal.

    The Loadrite L2150 wheeled loader bucket weighing system is said to offer increased accuracy and reliability. The system is said to ensure haul trucks can be loaded properly, improving overall productivity by ensuring operational efficiency. Using this weighing system trucks are neither under-loaded nor over-loaded, with the ensuing associated productivity losses and excess machine wear problems respectively, all but eliminated. Aimed at use in large quarry operations the new Loadrite L2150 unit is said to
