  • Patent number: 8182585
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling dust and/or odors comprises a blower unit and baffle member deployed downstream of the blower unit. The blower unit comprises a fan propelled mister with a discharge tube and a fan disposed in the discharge tube adapted for drawing air into the discharge tube and creating a high velocity air flow exiting therefrom. The discharge tube has a plurality of nozzles and a fluid source is placed in communication with the nozzles such that the nozzles discharge fluid particles that are entrained in a high velocity air flow exiting from the discharge tube distal end. A baffle member is deployed downstream of the blower unit at an elevation above the blower unit so as to alter a flow path of ambient air flowing through a discharge path of the blower unit.

  • Publication number: 20090166444
    Abstract: A blower unit has a base, a frame extending upward from the base and a fan propelled mister attached to the frame. The fan propelled mister comprises a fan, a discharge tube, and a plurality of nozzles operatively connected to a fluid intake for creating a mist. A rigid frame, mobile engine-powered machine having a lift arm with a mount is provided. An attachment is also provided having a first surface with a coupling portion adapted to secure the attachment to the mount on the lift arm and a second surface with a coupling portion adapted to secure the attachment to the base. The attachment is mounted to the lift arm with the first coupling portion of the first surface, and to the base with the second coupling portion of the second mounting surface. The blower unit and attachment and methods of use of the same are described.

  • Publication number: 20070186778
    Abstract: A system and method for suppressing dust and/or odors. The system includes a fan-propelled mister that propels air through one or more discharge tubes to create a high velocity airflow. A misting ring having a plurality of nozzles adjacent the end of the discharge tube acts to create a mist of small fluid particles. In one embodiment, the misting ring includes a first set of nozzles for generating a mist having fluid particles of a first size for controlling or suppressing dust and a second set of nozzles for generating a mist having fluid particles of a second set for suppressing odor. The system may also include one or more high pressure hoses to saturate a particular area or zone. The mister may also be adjusted to direct the output and/or oscillate to cover a greater area.
