The presence of dust during steel manufacturing and recycling can create unnecessary headaches for operators as well the surrounding community. Fugitive dust particles become airborne as slag is tapped into ladles, transported and dumped into cooling areas and processed for recycling. Once in the air, these particles can quickly migrate offsite and become problematic for neighboring businesses and communities. Dust is a nuisance and the issues it causes can quickly become wide spread if proper mitigation actions are not taken.

In effort to avoid compliance issues, fines and potential litigation, facilities have turned to modern solutions that utilize atomized mist technology to suppress dust. For almost two decades, DustBoss® equipment has been trusted to capture fugitive dust and prevent it from leaving the site. As the leading mobile dust control solution, DustBoss units offer versatility with a wide range of throw and various mounting options. Tower systems can be installed to elevate your attack on dust above dump pockets and cooling areas. Remote technology allows full control of a single unit or entire system from the ground. Operators can easily activate the misting cannon(s) from the cab of the carrier or loader. Systems can also be automated to provide seamless, hands-free operation of DustBoss equipment when dust suppression is needed. Atomized mist has also been proven to lower the ambient air temperature which provides the added benefit of assisting with the cooling process.
