Construction sites and mining yards commonly face problems of excessive dust and high risks of environmental penalties. Traditional water trucks have limited coverage, high water consumption, and low dust suppression efficiency. Spraying pesticides in farms and ranches relies on manual labor, which is inefficient and labor-intensive. A fog cannon machine is a high-pressure, long-range spray dust suppression device, also known as a dust suppression fog cannon, spray dust suppressor, wind-assisted sprayer, or dust suppression fog cannon truck. Its core function is to use high-pressure atomization and wind-assisted diffusion to allow fine water mist to adsorb dust in the air, causing it to settle naturally, achieving dust suppression, dust removal, and humidification. With a specialized pump, it can also be used for pesticide spraying in agricultural and forestry pest and disease control.
YG, as a professional manufacturer of environmental protection and agricultural and forestry equipment, specializes in a full-range series of fog cannons, covering models from 30 meters to 150 meters. It supports various installation methods, including fixed, tricycle-mounted, and truck-mounted types. Simply changing the specialized ceramic pump allows for switching to pesticide spraying.

Structural Components of the YG Fog Cannon
- Cannon Barrel (Air Tube): Made of Q235 carbon steel with anti-corrosion treatment on the inner wall, it is the core component for accelerating and directing the mist flow.
- Fan System: A high-power axial flow fan provides strong airflow to deliver the mist particles over long distances.
- High-Pressure Water Pump: Pressurizes water and delivers it to the nozzles for atomization; a ceramic pump can be used for pesticide spraying.
- Nozzle Assembly: Stainless steel/brass nozzles, ranging from a dozen to hundreds, determining the atomization effect and coverage area.
- Rotation and Pitch Mechanism: 360° horizontal rotation (or ±160°/±320° adjustable), pitch angle -10° to 60°, achieving omnidirectional coverage.
- Control Cabinet: Includes a PLC control system, remote control, and automatic/manual switching functions.
- Base/Mobile Device: Various options are available, including fixed, trailer-mounted, tricycle-mounted, and truck-mounted.
Key Materials and Processes
The YG fog cannon’s barrel is made of Q235 carbon steel plate, rolled and welded, with a powder-coated anti-corrosion treatment, suitable for long-term outdoor use. The nozzles are made of stainless steel or brass, offering wear and corrosion resistance. The standard water pump is a multi-stage centrifugal pump, while the pesticide spraying version uses a ceramic pump—ceramic plungers have 3-5 times higher wear resistance than ordinary metal pumps and can withstand the corrosive effects of pesticide chemicals.

6 Core Functions of YG Fog Cannons
- Ultra-long range, large coverage area. YG offers a full range of models with ranges of 30m, 40m, 50m, 60m, 80m, 100m, 120m, and 150m. For example, the 80m model can effectively cover approximately 20,000 square meters, equivalent to three standard football fields.
- Micron-level atomization, excellent dust suppression/pesticide spraying effect. The mist particle diameter is controlled between 30-150 microns, close to the size of PM2.5-PM10 dust particles, allowing for thorough collision and settling. When used for pesticide spraying, the fine mist adheres evenly to both sides of leaves, saving more than 30% of pesticide compared to traditional spraying methods.
- Multi-functional, freely switch between dust suppression and pesticide spraying. A high-pressure water pump is standard for dust suppression, humidification, and cooling; replacing the pump with a ceramic pump allows for spraying pesticides, disinfectants, and deodorizers. One unit combines industrial dust suppression and agricultural plant protection, offering a faster return on investment.
- Multiple installation methods to suit different scenarios.
- Fixed: Fixed dust sources such as coal yards, material yards, and concrete mixing plants.
- Trailer-mounted: Mobile dust sources such as mines, quarries, and demolition sites.
- Three-wheeled: Urban roads, industrial parks, and residential properties.
- Truck-mounted: Large areas of farmland, orchards, forest farms, and large-scale infrastructure projects.
- Intelligent control and simple operation. Supports manual, remote control, and PLC automatic control modes. High-end models can be equipped with dust concentration sensors to achieve intelligent operation with “automatic start when exceeding the standard and automatic stop when reaching the standard,” requiring no dedicated personnel.
- Water-saving and environmentally friendly with low operating costs. Compared to traditional water truck spraying, the mist cannon saves more than 70% of water.

Where Can Fog Cannons Be Used?
- Construction sites. House construction, road construction, tunnel engineering…excavation, earthmoving, and concrete cutting all generate a lot of dust. Mobile or trailer-mounted fog cannons follow the construction surface, spraying wherever there is dust.
- Mines and quarries. Open-pit mines and quarries have heavy dust areas in their crushing areas, loading and unloading points, and transport roads. A combination of fixed and mobile fog cannons provides long-range coverage of the crushing station, while the mobile cannons follow the transport vehicles.
- Coal yards and material yards. Coal, ore, sand, gravel, cement clinker…these bulk materials easily generate dust during stacking, transfer, and loading/unloading. Fixed fog cannons are placed around the material yard, with automatic rotation to form a “fog curtain.”
- Agricultural orchards and farms. After being equipped with ceramic pumps, fog cannons transform into large sprayers, capable of spraying pesticides, applying foliar fertilizers, preventing frost, and cooling and humidifying. Suitable for large-scale crops such as orchards, tea gardens, sugarcane fields, and cotton fields.
- Urban sanitation and landscaping. Dust suppression on city roads, spraying pesticides in green belts, humidifying and cooling parks, disinfection spraying during epidemics… three-wheeled vehicle-mounted fog cannons flexibly shuttle through city streets, making them a good helper for municipal sanitation.
- Ports and logistics parks. Dust from bulk cargo loading and unloading at ports and storage yards in logistics parks has always been a challenge for environmental management. Long-range fog cannons (80-120 meters) can cover large areas from the shore or a corner of the storage yard.
- Demolition sites. Demolition operations generate high-concentration, short-duration, but intense dust. Trailer-mounted fog cannons can be moved quickly during demolition, spraying directly at the work surface for immediate dust suppression.
- Landfills and sewage treatment plants. Used for deodorization, disinfection, and dust suppression, spraying deodorizers or disinfectants. Enclosed or corrosion-resistant configurations are more suitable for these environments with corrosive gases.

Frequently Asked Questions about Fog Cannons
A1: Actual range is affected by factors such as wind speed, humidity, and water pressure. In calm, stable conditions, it generally reaches the stated range; in winds below level 3, the range is reduced by about 80-90%; in stronger winds, it’s recommended to use it with the wind at your back or choose a larger model.
A2: Fog cannons use water mist to adsorb dust particles, causing them to settle. They are effective at removing PM2.5 and PM10. The longer the range and the finer the water mist, the better the dust suppression effect.
A3: Yes, but the ordinary water pump needs to be replaced with a ceramic pump. Ceramic pumps are wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and can withstand the chemical components of pesticides. YG offers a dual-purpose version for dust suppression and pesticide spraying, making it a high-value product.
A4: For long-term, fixed-point dust suppression, choose the stationary model for lower costs; for multi-point mobile operations and dispersed scenarios, choose the vehicle-mounted model for flexible relocation. The choice can be made according to the specific operational mode.
A5: The standard electric model requires a three-phase 380V/50Hz power supply. If the local voltage is different (e.g., 460V/60Hz), YG can customize an adapter. For areas without a power supply, a diesel engine model is recommended.
A6: YG fog cannons have a 1-year warranty on the entire machine and a 1-year warranty on core components (fan, water pump, motor). Lifetime spare parts and technical support are provided. Wear parts (nozzles, filters, seals) are considered normal consumables and are not covered under warranty.
