The original D-type MistCannons have now been superseded by the new A-type and there are a number of important differences between the two.

A-type MistCannons have a number of new and improved design features, as well as better efficiency and lower water output. We still have many D-type MistCannons on our hire fleet, although all new additions to the fleet will now be A-types. All new MistCannons purchased will be A-types.

The key improvements with the A-types, many of which are visible in the photo above, are as follows:

  • Different nozzle configuration – 2 discs each with 7 orifices, the new ‘CLU’ nozzles boast a smaller droplet size, lower water output, better throwing distance and larger orifice size which means less likelihood of blocking

The original D-type nozzles.
