The DustBoss Atom from BossTek is a fan-less, self-contained design that incorporates remote control and 4G LTE telematics technologies as standard equipment to deliver an unprecedented combination of suppression and monitoring. The compact, diesel-powered unit fits in the back of a pickup truck, so it can be quickly positioned and relocated to address dust-generating activity directly at the source. It also has forklift pockets on the front and back.
With a throw of 100 feet (30 meters), the adjustable elevation angle and user-defined oscillation allow precise aiming of a powerful dust-capturing mist, which is comprised of millions of droplets per minute in the range of 50-200 microns.
Features
- Small and maneuverable
- Suited to demolotion projects, recycling operations, transfer stations, bulk material processing, ports/shipping applications, quarrying/crushing, biomass handling, concrete curing and even indoor operations
- Hand-held remote controlled
- Web-based telematics help contractors monitor equipment status and streamline service and support by tracking engine hours, operating temperature, average run time per day and provides readouts of suggested maintenance - operators can remotely disasble machines if necessary
- Programmable to monitor machine location via GPS or set up a ‘geo-fence’ so limit function within specified location
The Atom features a Kohler KD440 power plant - a 9.1 horsepower air-cooled engine that meets Tier-IV Final emissions standards and complies with California CARB requirements. A unique air filtration system increases performance and lengthens service intervals, even in dusty environments. Its integrated fuel injection system and overhead cam design are coupled with a cast iron cylinder liner for consistent, reliable service. The engine and pump subassembly is secured by four isolation mounts that minimize vibration transfer to the frame. The high-impact stainless steel nozzle features a quick disconnect for easy replacement.
The system is fitted with a Cat Pumps 56G1 water pump that requires just 40 PSI (0.344 BAR) minimum inlet pressure, connected by a 1-in. cam-and-groove quick-disconnect fitting. Considered one of the world’s most dependable high-pressure reciprocating triplex plunger and piston pump design, the unit has specially-formulated seals and high density, polished ceramic plungers that are optimized for long service life and durability. It also includes protection against pressure drops: if a low-pressure situation is detected, the unit shuts down to prevent damage to the pump or overheating of the engine.
