VFD Dust Suppression

Description

In a move designed to bring unparalleled versatility to its lineup of highly-successful dust suppression equipment, BossTek has introduced an optional Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) system that allows users to adjust air flow to suit a broader range of applications and working environments.  Driven by customer input from a number of different industries, the new VFD system reduces the need to purchase or rent different models to match the machines’ output to specific project requirements, delivering greater flexibility and reducing the total cost of equipment ownership.

 

The VFD control will be available via a simple dial or remote control on three of the company’s DustBoss models: the DB-30, DB-45 and DB-60.  All three use specialized nozzles and a ducted fan design to atomize the water flow into droplets 50-200 microns in size, which is the optimum for most dust control applications.  Matching the droplets to the most common particle sizes delivers the greatest opportunity for them to collide and fall to the ground. 

 

Another example would be concrete curing, where atomized mist has proven successful in controlling humidity for maximum strength of the finished product.  On airport runways and other large projects, the 60-meter throw distance may be desirable, but on smaller pours, contractors may want to dial it back to a fraction of that.  With the VFD, they can easily do so, without having to use smaller models.

 

The variable drive is ideal for standalone applications that require flexibility, communications and energy saving options in a cost-effective solution.  The modular design facilitates installation and configuration, with communications options that include a dual port EtherNet/IP card for networking flexibility.  An integral LCD human interface module supports multiple languages and features scrolling text to explain parameters and codes.  Flexible motor control options include volts per hertz, sensorless vector control and Economizer mode to suit a wide variety of applications.
