Mist Collection
Coolant misting and smoke are often a byproduct of metalcutting processes. The "blue haze" and dirty, oily surfaces in a shop from uncontrolled mist and smoke create saftey and costly maintenance issues.
Controlling Coolant/Oil Mist in Your Shop Makes Good Business Sense
An effective mist control program will result in improved saftey, cost savings, and increased productivity.
- Reduced Accident Risks
Oil mist creates slippery surfaces which increase accident risks - Reduced Health Risks
Uncontrolled airborne mist particles can potentailly cause health problems - OSHA & NIOSH
Current limits on airborne oil mist are 5 mg/cubic meter. Mist collectors exceed current and proposed new limits on airborne mist.
- Coolant Cost Savings
Mist collectors recycle coolant and return it to your machine - Cleaning and Maintenance Cost Savings
Uncontrolled airborne mist and smoke deposits require more frequent cleaning of exposed surfaces. - Fewer A/C Service Calls
Mist collectors help reduce breakdowns of shop air conditioning equipment by preventing mist from contaminating the intake filters.
- Less Machine Downtime
Fouled contacts in electronic equipment cause expensive downtime. - Higher Speeds & Feeds
Mist collectors accommodate the increased mist and smoke produced during high speed machining and high pressure coolant applications. - Better Lighting
Smokey haze and grimy buildup on lighting can cause shops to seem dingy. Bright, well-lit environments improve employee morale and performance.
