Open construction sites, mines, coal yards, and material loading areas can generate dust. The YG Fog Cannon uses a water pump, nozzles, and a fan to produce and deliver water mist. The mist reaches the dust source and helps settle airborne particles. As a result, it helps control airborne dust at construction sites, road projects, mines, material yards, and coal yards.
Fog Cannon Quick Answer
The YG Fog Cannon comes in four models: YG-20, YG-30, YG-40, and YG-60. Their rated spray ranges reach 20 m, 30 m, 40 m, and 60 m. All models use 380V/50Hz three-phase power, while rated water consumption ranges from 1000 to 7500 L/h.
Before selecting a model, check the required spray range, water supply, power supply, and installation space. For continuous operation, also allow a 10% to 20% water supply margin.
Fog Cannon Models and Technical Parameters
The four electric models differ in spray range, motor configuration, tank capacity, nozzle quantity, and water consumption. In addition, total motor power comes from the fan, steering motors, and pump.

| Weight | 200 kg | 250 kg | 300 kg | 350 kg |
The listed weight does not specify whether the value refers to an empty or full tank. Therefore, confirm the weight condition in the technical documents before purchase. Also, check the product drawing to determine the exact meaning of the 1400 mm water pipe dimension.
The available specifications do not include fan air flow, fan pressure, pump pressure, droplet diameter, IP rating, control method, water inlet size, nozzle material, or certifications. For the selected model, ask for these values when they affect your installation or operating requirements.
What Is a Fog Cannon and How Does It Work?
The water pump sends water to the nozzles. The nozzles atomize the water, and the fan carries the mist toward the target area. As the mist reaches airborne dust, it helps the particles settle. The spray head moves horizontally and vertically to direct the mist toward the required area.
Spray Range and Coverage
The four models have rated spray ranges of 20 m, 30 m, 40 m, and 60 m. However, wind speed, wind direction, installation height, vertical angle, and site obstacles can affect actual mist delivery.
Do not treat the spray range as a fixed coverage radius. Instead, first identify the main dust sources. Then, check the distance, installation height, and wind direction when selecting the equipment position.
Water Supply and Power Requirements
Depending on the model, the Fog Cannon consumes 1000, 1500, 3000, or 7500 L/h of water. Therefore, the water supply should meet the selected model’s rated consumption. For continuous operation, allow a 10% to 20% water supply margin.
Total motor power reaches 7.5, 7.5, 9.5, or 21.5 kW. However, this figure does not define the required electrical panel or circuit breaker rating. Instead, check motor starting current, cable size and length, other loads, and local electrical standards before installation.
Installation for Mining, Construction and Stockyards
Place the Fog Cannon near the main dust sources. At the same time, leave enough space around the spray head for rotation and maintenance. If the water contains impurities, use a suitable water filter.
In cold areas, drain the pump and pipes after operation. Use suitable antifreeze measures according to the local temperature. In addition, provide grounding, short-circuit protection, and overload protection for the electrical system. Before installation, confirm the required IP rating for the selected model.
How to Select the Right Fog Cannon
Before choosing a model, check the following:
- Distance from the dust source
- Main dust areas and installation height
- Wind direction and available power supply
- Available water supply
- Required operating time and installation space
The YG-20, YG-30, YG-40, and YG-60 provide rated spray ranges of 20 m, 30 m, 40 m, and 60 m. Therefore, check the water supply and electrical conditions together with the required spray range.
FAQ
What Is the Spray Range of the YG Fog Cannon?
The YG-20, YG-30, YG-40, and YG-60 provide rated spray ranges of 20 m, 30 m, 40 m, and 60 m. However, wind, installation height, and site conditions can affect actual mist delivery.
Is the Listed Weight Empty or Full?
The current specifications do not state the weight condition. Therefore, confirm whether the 200 kg, 250 kg, 300 kg, and 350 kg values refer to an empty or full tank before purchase.
What Does the 1400 mm Water Pipe Mean?
The available specification gives a 1400 mm dimension. However, it does not explain the exact meaning of this dimension. Check the product drawing for the detailed definition.
What Water Supply Does the Fog Cannon Need?
The water supply should meet the rated consumption of the selected model. For continuous operation, allow a 10% to 20% margin. In addition, long-term operation normally requires a stable external water source.
What Technical Data Still Needs Confirmation?
The available specifications do not give fan air flow, fan pressure, pump pressure, droplet diameter, IP rating, control method, water inlet size, nozzle material, or certifications. Before purchase, request these values for the selected model.
