Industrial mist cannons proved critical to the success of a recent mall demolition in Michigan.The Adamo Group brought in BossTek DustBoss cannons on a large mall demolition involving diverse materials and had zero dust emissions, no complaints and no costly violations. Operating since 1964 and headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, the Adamo Group has safely demolished and cleared projects across the region. The company is familiar with the wide variety of materials that can go into construction, and a good example of this was their recent demolition of the Eastland Shopping Center in the town of Harper Woods, Northeast of Detroit. The entire demolition project from start to finish took eight months. Using several pieces of equipment in the fleet, including a mid-sized high-reach crane, front loader, magnetizing machine, etc., the Adamo Group dismantled the structure. An integral part of this was the DustBoss DB-60 misting cannon.  Directed toward the activity area, the fine engineered mist raised the humidity of the area, preventing dust from becoming airborne and travelling into the surrounding community, as well as protecting workers on site from hazardous dust. A second DB-60 unit was used to reduce dust emissions from separating, piling, short-term storage, and disruption of the piles while filling transport canisters. “These structures collected over 60 years’ worth of dust, so the separated materials can release a lot of emissions,” said Al Penrod, Equipment Manager of Adamo Group. “The DustBoss really helped us control air quality so we could stay compliant.”To capture small airborne particles, the droplets need to match the general size of the particles so that they can collide. The combined mass causes them to drop to the ground. Droplets greater than 200µm, like those created by hoses or sprinklers, are large enough to cause a slipstream current to move around them, which actually repels smaller particles and leaving them to remain airborne.  Automated mist cannons like the DustBoss DB-60 produce droplets approximately 50-200µm from a misting ring in the front which are propelled long distances by a powerful fan that pushes air through the rugged barrel. The droplets offer both airborne and surface suppression using only a fraction of the water required by hoses or sprinklers. They have proven to be more effective, cheaper to run over the long term and require no workers to operate.  (ICE TORONTO)
