Advanced Mist Extraction Solutions
Mist collectors and extraction systems are essential in today’s industrial environments. In modern machining and manufacturing, mist (from water, oil, or synthetic material) generated from coolants and lubricants can pose significant health risks for workers and compromise equipment efficiency.
Airflow Systems industrial mist collectors are engineered to capture and remove these airborne contaminants, ensuring optimal air quality and operational safety. Our systems are designed for reliable service, heavy-duty workloads, and optimal performance to keep your workplace as air-healthy as possible.
No matter whether you’re dealing with synthetic, oil-based, or water-soluble mists, our systems provide efficient coolant mist extraction tailored to your specific processes.
Why Are Industrial Mist Collectors Needed?
Machining operations in industrial and manufacturing settings often produce fine mist particles that can accumulate over time. This can lead to slippery surfaces, low air quality, equipment degradation, and respiratory issues for workers. Implementing effective machining mist collectors helps in a number of ways.
Maintain a healthy work environment
Maintain a healthier work environment for your team, staff, and visitors by reducing airborne contaminants with coolant mist extraction. Airborne coolant mist can lead to poor indoor air quality, creating health risks for operators and staff. Our mist collectors, dust collectors, and air cleaners all work to clean air and make working environments safer.
Installing effective mist collectors reduces exposure to these fine particles (either at source in conjunction with a CNC machine, or in the air with ambient collection), improving air quality and minimizing long-term respiratory issues. A cleaner atmosphere leads to a safer, more comfortable workspace for everyone.
Protect and maintain machinery
Proper mist protection and collection can also hugely impact equipment longevity and durability.
Oil and water-based mist can settle on machinery over time, causing buildup that leads to corrosion, electrical faults, and premature wear. Industrial mist collectors help prevent this by capturing mist at the source before it has a chance to spread across your site. Cleaner equipment lasts longer, performs better, and requires less downtime for maintenance. This not only helps with production or service quality, but also saves money in the long run.
Comply with health and safety regulations
Workplace safety standards increasingly require control of airborne pollutants like mist and fumes. Implementing an industrial mist collection system helps make sure your facility is complying with OSHA and any other industry-specific regulations you need to adhere to. It also reduces liability and reinforces your company’s commitment to worker safety.
Increase productivity
Industrial mist collectors can actually enhance overall production efficiency and product quality. It’s simple: when machines and environments stay clean, they run more efficiently, and with fewer interruptions.
Effective mist extraction minimizes maintenance needs, reduces equipment failures, and keeps production moving. The result is smoother workflows, higher output, and better overall product quality.
Selecting the Right Mist Collector
In order to choose the correct industrial or machining mist collection system for your needs, you’ll need to consider several key factors. You need to make sure the system you choose meets the demands of your specific application.
From the type of mist being generated to the airflow requirements of your workspace, every detail plays a role in the system’s overall effectiveness. Proper selection not only improves air quality and safety, but also enhances equipment longevity and operational efficiency for your site overall.
Here are the most important considerations when selecting an industrial mist collector:
-
Type of Mist
The right system will depend on whether your operations produce oil-based, water-soluble, or synthetic mists. Different mist types require different capture and filtration technologies; what works for oil mist may not be effective for water-based particles. Matching the system to your specific mist type ensures maximum performance and helps prevent filter overload or system failure.
-
Airflow Requirements
Assess the volume of mist generated and the size of the workspace to determine the necessary airflow capacity (measured in CFM) for effective extraction.
Undersized systems may fail to capture all airborne mist, while oversized units can waste energy and space. Accurately calculating CFM based on your equipment and processes ensures efficient, targeted mist control.
-
Filtration Efficiency
Consider systems with multi-stage filtration, including pre-filters, HEPA filters, or electrostatic precipitators, to capture varying mist particle sizes. The right combination of filters means the system can remove both large droplets and ultra-fine aerosol spray, improving air quality and extending filter life. High-efficiency filtration also reduces odors and protects sensitive electronic equipment from mist exposure.
-
Integration and Maintenance
Opt for mist collectors that can be seamlessly integrated into existing equipment layouts and offer easy access for routine maintenance and filter replacements. Don’t think of industrial mist collectors as a new, additional machine you need to add to your routine; think of it as an extension of your current workflow that just makes everything more efficient.
A well-integrated system minimizes disruption to your operations and helps maintain workflow efficiency. Look for features like tool-free filter access, service indicators, and compact designs that make ongoing upkeep simple and cost-effective.
