Tecpro ATEX certified fog maker

Tecpro has introduced an ATEX certified version of its fog makers that suppresses dust in areas in danger of explosion.

The fog maker operates at high pressure 50 bar and it can propel a fine mist up to 60 m in the absence of wind.

The mouth of the fog maker contains 156 nebulising nozzles and the size of the fog droplets generated is similar to the size of dust particles. When the fog and dust come into contact, they combine readily and fall to the ground, aided by gravity.

The nozzles are mounted in three spray rings which can be operated independently, giving the ability to change the volume of mist to suit the conditions. In addition to this, there are 10 different capacity sizes of nozzles that can be fitted to the rings to fine-tune the fog maker.

According to the company, the fog mist evaporates quickly, which eliminates the risk of water pooling or run-off, further reducing environmental and safety risks.

The fog maker has a rotation field of 340° and it is fitted to a steel platform, enabling it to be moved to direct the fog stream to where it’s needed.

The product also has a noise barrier which reduces the noise output when it’s operating.
