“Despite the slowdown in many industries, the need for dust management remains a high priority on many jobsites,” DCT chief executive officer Edwin Peterson said.

“In some applications and facilities, suppression is absolutely mandatory. Having a cost-effective rental option gives contractors and manufacturers the choice of postponing a capital equipment purchase, while still allowing them to be fully functional in terms of dust control.”

The company has a wide variety of different-sized machines available for short or long-term lease and with 30-40 DustBoss units available at any given time, it said the unit needed for a project of virtually any size would be available for operations.

The most in demand remains DCT’s flagship model, DB-60, the largest in the company’s family of products. In addition to mining/quarry and coal handling applications, the unit is designed for the demolition, aggregate production, cement manufacturing and recycling industries.

The DB-60’s 200-foot range and various oscillation options can cover as much as 2.8 acres (or more than 2.5 football fields) from a single location.

“While other suppliers may modify existing equipment to develop a design to manage dust, that approach typically leads to some compromises,” Peterson said.

“We chose not to go that route. Dust control isn’t a complement to our business, that is our business.”

All of DCT’s fan-driven DustBoss models are available with Variable Particle Sizing technology, allowing for a selection of different nozzles that can help suppress a range of particle sizes. All designs can also be ordered with a dosing pump to add surfactants, and can be equipped with a supplemental filter system for non-potable water use.
