A mist cannon, also called a fog cannon machine, uses high pressure to atomize water into micron-sized droplets. These droplets capture airborne dust, effectively achieving dust control mining and construction sites. Key parts are a fan, water pump, and nozzle system. Simply put, it turns water into a “fog blanket” for wide-area coverage.
Tip: Droplet size is key. The best range is 50-150 microns. Too large, they fall fast; too small, they evaporate. Our machines control this precisely.
Power Type: Electric
Control type: Fully automatic
Spraying distance: 80m
Horizontal angle: 0-270°
Water consumption: 70-150L/min
Fan motor/Pump motor: 22kw/9kw
Trailer-mounted: Easy relocation between sites.
Truck-mounted: Installed on a truck for extensive coverage.
Integrated with water sprinklers: Combines spraying and long-range misting.
Explosion-proof version: For risky environments like coal mines or chemical plants.
Core Categories: How to Choose Standard vs. Industrial?
Standard Mist Cannon (With Water Tank)
Features: Built-in water tank for mobility. Pump pressure is adjusted via a manual knob: clockwise for higher pressure and flow.
Pros: Easy setup, lower cost, good for intermittent use.
Industrial Mist Cannon (Tankless)
Features: Connects directly to water supply lines, no tank. Standard filter protects nozzles. Uses a frequency converter (VFD) for automatic pump flow control.
Pros: Can operate continuously, less maintenance, ideal for high-dust environments like dust control mining.
Key Difference: Projects needing >100m range must choose the industrial model. Standard model pumps cannot sustain stable atomization at long ranges.
