The Illinois CancerCare Foundation in Peoria, USA, will be the recipient of a benefit effort that was featured at the world’s largest mining trade show, as
The company displayed the massive DustBoss DB-100 at MINExpo 2012 with one specially-painted model available for sale. All profits from that unit will be donated in honour of Barry Brown, a founding partner of DCT who lost his battle with cancer in 2010.
“The DB-100 dust suppressor was actually an idea Barry envisioned some time ago for mining and coal handling applications,” explained CEO Edwin Peterson. “He had the vision to create a mine-grade open-pit dust suppression design that was extremely powerful and exceptionally reliable. Although he didn’t get to see it built, it seems fitting that we should honor him when this first unit is sold.”
Engineered specifically to deliver the power to reach the working face of open-pit mines and quarries, the unit is the largest DustBoss ever designed. It can throw a dust-trapping atomised mist more than 100m, giving the machine a coverage area of 26,000m2.
Six football fields, and three machines could handle virtually the entire exhibit space of MINExpo 2012 (850,000 square feet).
