Fog cannon machine price depends on range, blower power, and voltage build. This case covers two 60 m units sent to a limestone yard near Riyadh. Fence-line PM10 peaked at 340 µg/m³ against a 150 µg/m³ limit. After commissioning, it read 110. Water use fell 31%, and two hosemen left dust duty. Here is the sizing logic, the price breakdown, the SABER clearance, and the payback.
Fog Cannon Machine Price and Model Range
Prices scale with range, blower power, and nozzle count. The 60 m model in this case came to about USD 2,000 per unit, delivered and installed. That figure includes freight, clearance and commissioning support.
| Item | Unit | YG-20 | YG-30 | YG-40 | YG-50 | YG-60 | YG-80 | YG-100 | YG-120 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spray range | m | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 80 | 100 | 120 |
| Total motor power | kW | 8.5 | 9.5 | 14.5 | 14.5 | 24.75 | 45.25 | 75 | 91 |
| Blower motor power | kW | 3 | 4 | 11 | 11 | 18.5 | 37 | 55 | 75 |
| Spray flow rate | L/h or m³/h | 1,000 L/h | 1,500 L/h | 3,000 L/h | 8 m³/h | 8 m³/h | 12 m³/h | 12 m³/h | 15 m³/h |
| Horizontal rotation | ° | 360 | 360 | 360 | ±160 | ±320 | ±320 | 160 | 0-320 |
| Pitch angle adjustment | ° | -10 to 55 | -10 to 55 | -10 to 55 | -5 to 35 | -5 to 35 | -5 to 35 | -10 to 45 | 0 to 60 |
| Nozzle quantity | pcs | 8 | 10 | 16 | 40 | 58 | 80 | 120 | 120 |
| Water tank capacity | L | – | 460 | 480 | 600 | 600 | 600 | – | – |
How to read the model name: YG-60 means 60 m of spray range, not a 60 kW motor. Range is measured in still air, so expect 15-25% less in strong wind. The 600 L tank is for additive or flushing, not the main water supply.
What moves the price: range class, blower power, nozzle count, mount type, and voltage. A 60Hz build for Saudi Arabia adds a small premium.

Project Background: A Riyadh Aggregate Yard
The client crushes and screens limestone about 35 km east of Riyadh. The plant feeds road and building projects in the capital. It handles roughly 3,000 tonnes a day over two shifts.
Three points made most of the dust:
- Primary crusher discharge
- Two conveyor transfer points
- Stockpile loading under the wheel loader
The yard sits near a labor camp. Prevailing wind carries the plume there. Two complaints reached the inspectorate in one quarter.
The plant relied on a water bowser and hand hoses. Two workers sprayed all shift with uneven coverage.
The Core Problem: Heat, Dry Air and PM10
Dust control here is harder than in humid climates. At 46°C and 12% humidity, a fine droplet evaporates in seconds. Mist that never lands only wastes water.
- Fence-line PM10 over limit. Peaks hit 340 µg/m³ against a 150 µg/m³ 24-hour limit.
- Water waste. The bowser delivered about 45 m³ a day with poor coverage.
- Manpower. Two workers sprayed instead of supporting production.
Crushing dust is mostly 1-50 µm. Droplets far above that size fall too fast and wet the ground. Droplets under 30 µm dry before contact.
Professional tip: ask for the droplet spectrum, not just the range. A 60 m throw of 400 µm droplets is useless in dry heat.
The Solution: Two 60 m Fog Cannon Machines
YG supplied two YG-60 units, one at the crusher outlet and one at the stockpile. Each throws 60 m with an 18.5 kW blower. The 58 nozzles make mist in the 50-150 µm band.
The design is air-assisted. A high-speed blower breaks water into fine droplets at low pressure. That suits Saudi water for two reasons. Lower pressure allows larger orifices. Larger orifices resist clogging from high-TDS water.
Each unit sits on a fixed pedestal with ±320° rotation and -5° to 35° pitch. One operator sets the arc and timer. The 8 m³/h flow runs only while spraying.
A mist cannon machine like this needs a fixed tank and booster pump. This yard used a 30 m³ tank refilled twice a week.
Professional tip: place the unit upwind of the plume, not beside it. Wind then carries mist into the dust.
What Drives Industrial Dust Suppression Cannon Performance
An industrial dust suppression cannon depends on three things. Droplet size, throw, and coverage pattern. Get one wrong and dust keeps rising.
Droplet size must match the dust. Crushing dust is fine, so the mist must be fine too. Air-assisted cannons handle dry heat better than high-pressure pumps.
Pattern decides cost. A ±320° unit between two points can serve both. Two small units often beat one large unit on a long yard.
Shipping the Fog Cannon Machine and SABER Clearance
The order left Qingdao and reached Dammam in 22 days. Two units fit in one 40ft container. Each traveled on a steel skid with the blower locked.
Saudi Arabia requires SABER clearance for regulated goods. We arranged the product certificate before shipment. A shipment certificate followed for the consignment.
Documents prepared:
- SABER product and shipment certificates
- SASO technical file and test reports
- Wiring diagram and 60Hz nameplate data
- English and Arabic manuals
From Dammam, the container moved by rail to Riyadh Dry Port. Road delivery took two more hours. Customs released it in four days.
Professional tip: confirm 60Hz before production. A 50Hz motor on a 60Hz grid runs 20% faster and overheats.
Installing the Fog Cannon Machine in Riyadh
Installation took three days with the client’s crew and remote support. Each mist cannon machine unit needed a level pad, a water line, and a 380V feed.
- Cast two pads with anchor bolts and a drainage slope
- Set each cannon and torque the base bolts
- Connect water through a 100 µm filter
- Wire 380V/60Hz and check motor rotation
- Run a nozzle test, then set arc, pitch, and timer
The filter mattered most. Local water carried high dissolved solids. A 100 µm filter and stainless nozzles kept tips clear.
Commissioning ended with a three-day dust log. Readings at shift start and end set the final timer schedule.
Professional tip: flush nozzles weekly with clean water. Scale closes orifices slowly.
Operating Results: Dust, Water and Manpower
Fence-line PM10 fell from 340 to 110 µg/m³ in the first week. The drop held through the next month. The inspectorate closed the complaint file.
Water use fell from 45 to 31 m³ a day. Timers run the cannons at shift start and during loading peaks. Spraying stops once the pile is wet enough.
- PM10: 340 down to 110 µg/m³
- Water: 45 down to 31 m³ a day
- Hosemen: two down to none
- Coverage: crusher outlet plus stockpile
The bowser still waters haul roads but no longer runs all shift.
Customer Feedback and ROI on Fog Cannon Machine Price
The plant manager was direct. “The complaints stopped in the first month,” he said. His team now runs the cannons from the control room.
The project came to about USD 4,200 for both units. That is USD 2,100 per unit, delivered and installed. The figure covers the cannon, freight, SABER fees, pads, piping, and a booster pump.
Monthly savings total about USD 2,100:
- Labor moved to production: about USD 1,200
- Water and tanker trips: about USD 330
- Fewer bowser hours and sweeper rental: about USD 570
- Total savings: about USD 2,100 per month
That is about USD 70 a day, or USD 25,200 a year. Payback works out to about two months on this saving alone. One avoided stop-work order would cover the whole project several times over. A 3,000 t/day plant loses far more than USD 4,200 in a single halted day.
Professional tip: budget freight, clearance, and civils from day one. Machine price alone misleads first-time buyers.
Key Results of the Fog Cannon Machine
- PM10 from 340 down to 110 µg/m³ at the fence
- 31% less water per day
- Two workers freed from dust duty
- About 2 months to full payback
- Zero complaints after the first month
Why Buyers Request a Dust Suppression Cannon for Sale Quote
Most buyers who request this quote share three concerns. Heat tolerance, nozzle clogging and after-sales support.
YG matches blower and pump assemblies to the destination grid. Units ship in 50Hz or 60Hz builds. Nozzles come in stainless steel for hard water.
- 12-month warranty on blower, pump and controls
- Spare nozzle sets shipped within 48 hours
- SABER documentation support for Saudi orders
- Remote commissioning and operator training
- Export record across 50+ markets
Many yards pair a cannon with a road sweeper truck for haul-road dust.
Professional tip: ask for the nozzle orifice size in writing. Oversized orifices resist clogging but make coarser mist.
