Tool Handles Construction Dust Problems
Take a big fan and outfit it with a system that atomizes water and what do you get – a DustBoss. For demolition this may take care of the angst associated with all the dust created during those activities.
The maker of this machine claims it uses less water than sprinkler methods and saves labor because once running it can operate un-attended. The company has figured out that a water droplet in the size range of 50-200 microns is the most effective for capturing dust and dropping it to the ground.
You might think that operating one of these would create a wet mess that has to be cleaned up, but the company says that isn’t so. The unit (comes in three sizes) is portable and it is also claimed that it helps to control odors. Because fire hoses and other schemes are eliminated you end up with a labor savings associated with handling hoses and controlling flows.
The DustBoss goes to work at a Homrich demo site in Michigan.
