Brendon Powerwashers BBW1000 DUST: Ultra-High Pressure Dust Suppression & Cleaning System
The Brendon Powerwashers BBW1000 DUST is a specialized, ultra-high pressure power washer designed specifically for effective dust suppression and heavy-duty cleaning in demanding environments. Building on Brendon's reputation for robust and reliable industrial-grade machinery, the BBW1000 DUST is a versatile unit capable of tackling extreme dirt while also providing crucial dust control on construction sites, demolition areas, mining operations, and other industrial applications.
Features
- Ultra-High Pressure Performance:
- Up to 1000 bar (14,500 psi) pressure: Delivers immense cleaning power, capable of removing stubborn dirt, grime, paint, rust, and even breaking down material build-up. This extreme pressure makes it highly effective for surface preparation and heavy-duty industrial cleaning.
- High Flow Rate (typically 20-30 liters/minute): Combined with high pressure, this ensures rapid and efficient cleaning over large areas.
- Dedicated Dust Suppression Capability:
- Equipped with specialized nozzles or attachments (often misting lances or fan jets) designed to atomize water into a fine mist.
- The fine water droplets encapsulate airborne dust particles, causing them to fall to the ground, significantly reducing breathable dust and improving air quality on site.
- Crucial for compliance with environmental regulations and ensuring worker health and safety, especially concerning crystalline silica dust.
- Robust & Reliable Construction:
- Heavy-Duty Chassis: Typically mounted on a durable, galvanized, or painted steel chassis, built to withstand harsh conditions of construction and industrial sites.
- High-Quality Components: Features industrial-grade pumps (e.g., Cat Pumps or equivalent), powerful diesel engines (e.g., Kubota, Yanmar, or similar), and robust fittings designed for continuous, demanding use.
- Protective Frame: Often enclosed within a sturdy frame or canopy for protection against damage and weather elements.
- Powerful Diesel Engine:
- Usually powered by a reliable, fuel-efficient diesel engine (e.g., Kubota or Yanmar, often around 18-25 hp) to generate the extreme pressure and flow needed for continuous operation.
- Provides independent power, making it suitable for remote sites without access to electricity.
- Lower operating costs compared to petrol engines for prolonged use.
- Versatile Applications:
- Demolition Sites: Essential for controlling silica dust generated during breaking, crushing, and cutting concrete, brick, and stone.
- Construction Sites: Dust suppression during excavation, groundworks, and material handling.
- Mining & Quarrying: Dust control at crushing plants, conveyor belts, and drilling operations.
- Heavy Cleaning: Plant and machinery cleaning, concrete cleaning, graffiti removal, paint stripping, marine applications, and specialized industrial cleaning.
- Asbestos Removal: Can be adapted for specific decontamination and wetting procedures.
- User-Friendly Design:
- Easy Controls: Intuitive control panel for pressure adjustment and engine management.
- High-Pressure Hose Reel: Often includes a robust hose reel for convenient storage and deployment of the high-pressure hose.
- Large Water Tank (Optional/Integrated): Some models can be supplied with integrated water bowsers (e.g., 950-1000 litre capacity) for standalone operation in areas without a direct water supply.
- Road Towable (Optional/Integrated): Many BBW1000 DUST units are built onto road-towable trailers, allowing for easy and legal transport between different sites.
- Safety Features:
- Pressure relief valves, thermal protection, emergency stop buttons.
- Robust guarding for moving parts.
- Compliance with relevant safety standards.
Applications
The Brendon Powerwashers BBW1000 DUST is indispensable for:
- Demolition & Crushing: Active dust suppression during concrete breaking, stone crushing, and material handling.
- Construction Sites: Dust control for excavation, groundworks, road building, and material cutting (e.g., concrete, brick, asphalt).
- Mining & Quarrying: Dust control at drill sites, blast zones, conveyor belts, and aggregate processing plants.
- Concrete Preparation: Removing laitance, curing compounds, and loose material from concrete surfaces prior to coatings.
- Surface Cleaning: Heavy-duty cleaning of plant, machinery, industrial floors, walls, and hard surfaces.
- Paint & Coating Removal: Stripping old paint, rust, and specialized coatings from metal or concrete.
- Marine Applications: Cleaning ship hulls, docks, and marine structures.
- Specialized Industrial Cleaning: Cleaning large tanks, vessels, and heavily soiled industrial equipment.
- Asbestos Abatement: Wetting down materials during asbestos removal procedures to prevent fibre release.
