The Buffalo Turbine Monsoon’s Competitive Advantage
• The BUFFALO TURBINE MONSOON has a unique emitter arrangement that is unlikely to block
regardless of the poor water quality prevalent on many Australian mines
• The BUFFALO TURBINE MONSOON does not have a high pressure pump and operates on municipal
tap pressure
• The rate of water emission is adjustable according to requirement.
• The BUFFALO TURBINE MONSOON is small, compact and mobile in relation to competitor models
• THE BUFFALO TURBINE MONSOON IS COMPETITIVELY PRICED.
Buffalo Turbine simplifies Wet Mist Suppression
Wet mist suppression is one of the best methods for
controlling dust, odour and smoke. By creating a
matrix of micron size, atomized fluid (commonly
water) droplets, fugitive airborne pollutants can be
bound and knocked out of entrainment.
Until the introduction of the Buffalo Turbine Monsoon
Gyratory Atomizing Nozzle, wet mist suppression was
accomplished
by costly, complicated, high
maintenance spray nozzles and bulky fans
commonly used for making fog or snow.
As water passes through the mesh screen of the
revolutionary Gyratory Atomizing Nozzle, turbine
force wind shatters the flow, producing a uniform
micron size mist wall capable of suppressing dust,
odour and smoke. This provides wet mist suppression
at a fraction of the cost compared to spray nozzle
type machines. The Monsoon Gyratory Nozzle has
the additional advantage of using a large emission
outlet. This means that it can be used in most
Australian conditions without the possibility of
blocking.
The Monsoon uses standard municipal water pressure
and common 3/4” garden hose connection. Water
volume can be adjusted from 0 to around 80 litres
per minute.
Spray distance is equal to any of the more
expensive units – in excess of 40 meters
33
horizontally and 17 meters vertically, in neutral
wind conditions. Spray direction can be changed
using a wireless remote control.
Greater Value
The simplified arrangement means that effective
dust suppression can be achieved at a
substantially reduced cost in comparison to
similar equipment.
Interchangeable mounting options make the
Buffalo Turbine Monsoon system portable and
versatile between varying job-site environments.
Options
The BTM is available in several power source
options and compact, versatile mounting
configurations. Each monsoon features the same
legendary Buffalo Turbine single stage blower
utilized in the motor sports industry. Petrol, diesel ,
electrical, hydraulic and PTO options.
