OverviewA dust control cannon (fog cannon) converts water into a fine mist (typically 30–200 micrometers) using a high‑pressure pump and an industrial fan to project the mist over long distances. High‑performing units reduce airborne dust concentration by over 70% while saving 60%–80% of water compared with traditional sprinklers. The fine mist promotes particle agglomeration and rapid settling without disrupting site operations or increasing worker health risks.
Applications- Industrial: mining, quarries, steel plants, coal yards and ports — suppression during extraction, stacking, loading/unloading and transport; compatible with corrosion‑resistant pumps and treated wastewater or additives for multi‑purpose use (dust suppression, deodorization, disinfection).
- Municipal & public works: road dust control, park irrigation, large‑venue disinfection and urban cleaning — automatic rotation and adjustable spray angle for wide coverage.
- Agriculture & forestry: pesticide application and wildfire prevention — even coverage with water savings compared with conventional sprayers.
