Process owners/operators have important responsibilities relating to combustible hazards.
Process owners/operators must determine whether their process creates combustible dust,
fume, or mist. If combustible dust, fume, or mist is generated, process owners/operators should at a
minimum:
• Comply with all applicable codes and standards. Among other considerations, current NFPA standards
require owners/operators whose processes involve potentially combustible materials to have a current
Hazard Analysis, which can serve as the foundation for their process hazard mitigation strategies.
• Prevent all ignition sources from entering any dust collection equipment.
• Design, select, and implement fire and explosion mitigation, suppression, and isolation strategies that
are appropriate for the risks associated with their application.
• Develop and implement maintenance work practices to maintain a safe operating environment, ensuring
that combustible dust, fume, or mist does not accumulate within the plant.
Donaldson recommends process owners/operators consult with experts to insure each of these
responsibilities are met.
As a manufacturer and supplier of Industrial Filtration Products, Donaldson can assist process owners/
operators in the selection of filtration technologies. However, process owners/operators retain all
responsibility for the suitability of fire and explosion hazard mitigation, suppression, and isolation strategies.
Donaldson assumes no responsibility or liability for the suitability of any fire and/or explosion mitigation
strategy, or any items incorporated into a collector as part of an owner/operators hazard mitigation strategy.
Improper operation of a dust control system may contribute to conditions in the work area or facility that
could result in severe personal injury and product or property damage. Check that all collection equipment is
properly selected and sized for the intended use.
DO NOT operate this equipment until you have read and understand the instruction warnings in the
Installation and Operations Manual. For a replacement manual, contact Donaldson Torit.
This manual contains specific precautionary statements relative to worker safety. Read thoroughly and comply
as directed. Discuss the use and application of this equipment with a Donaldson Torit representative. Instruct all
personnel on safe use and maintenance procedures.

Description
Centrifugal Mist Collectors are compact, high efficiency,
centrifugal mist collection systems designed to collect,
filter, and reclaim liquid mist generated in machine tool
or process operations. The compact size allows direct
machine mounting which integrates the collection
system directly to the mist-generating machine or
process. Four stages of filtration provide effective indoor
air pollution control.
Optional prefilters, impingers, and afterfilters provide
additional filtration. Prefilters are used to remove chips
or solid particles before they enter the rotating drum and
impingers remove heavy sprays of raw fluids. Optional
HEPA afterfilters, available in standard and high-capacity
sizes, remove smoke generated in a machine process
while carbon afterfilters remove gas vapor and odors.
Centrifugal Mist Collectors are intended for separation
of various liquid droplets and particulates. It is not a
dust collector and should not be used to filter solid
particulate. The mist collector is designed to filter
mild amounts of smoke of an oily nature or smoke
mixed with oil mist. Typical applications include chip-
generating operations such as screw and bar machines,
CNC turning and milling machines, and applications
using straight oil coolants. Some applications such as
grinding, especially those with heavy metal-removal
rates, can cause a buildup of grinding swarf or other
solid particulate. Using a prefilter trap is strongly
recommended to extend the maintenance cycle of the
mist collector in these operations.
The collector must be sized to the application or filtration
will not be effective. Too little airflow will not draw the
contaminant into the filter and too much airflow may
result in the unit picking up large or heavy solid particles
increasing the frequency of maintenance or filter
replacement.
Purpose and Intended Use
Misuse or modification may result
in severe personal injury and/or
property damage.
Do not misuse or modify.

Unit Operation
Operation
During normal operation, mist-laden air enters the
collector through a flexible hose. The air passes through
a disposable first-stage filter and into a second-stage
primary filter. Sub-micron mist particles are trapped and
retained as they coalesce and grow to large droplet size.
These filters are housed in a spinning, perforated drum
with internal radial fan blades to promote air movement.
The droplets are spun and thrown from the perforated
drum to the inner wall of the collector housing by
centrifugal force. High velocity air drives the liquid or
oil along the housing walls, through a circumferential
slot, and into a collection chamber where the liquid is
drained. A third-stage, secondary filter catches liquid
that bypasses the slot and drains through the secondary
drain. Clean air is exhausted through the fourth-stage,
exhaust grill filter and returned to the plant environment
while the recycled oil drains from the unit for reuse or
disposal.

Operational Checklist
1. Monitor the physical condition of the collector and
repair or replace any damaged components.
Routine inspections will minimize downtime and
maintain optimum system performance. This
is particularly important on continuous-duty
applications.
2. Monitor exhaust.
Disposable Filter Liner Replacement
Turn unit OFF and check that drum
has stopped before removing the
cover.
1. Using a felt tip marker or scribe, mark the location of
the liner ends on the face of the drum.
2. Remove and discard disposable liner.
3. Starting at the mark made in Step 1, slide the
replacement liner under each blade until the ends
come together.
Do not trim the filter if it seems too
long. Work the excess filter liner
around the drum evenly.
4. Replace the cover and clamping ring, turn power ON
and allow unit to reach full speed.
5. Turn unit OFF and allow drum to stop. Remove the
inlet cover and inspect liner. It should be smoothly
seated and the butt joint flat. If liner overlaps at the
seam or wrinkles are present, smooth troublesome
areas by hand and repeat Steps 4 and 5.
If unit runs rough after filter liner
replacement, shift the liner seam
a few inches to the right or left of the reference
mark.
Primary Filter Replacement
Under normal operating conditions and scheduled filter
liner replacement, the primary filter will not require
replacement. It is strongly recommended that this filter is
not removed. The dynamic balance of the drum assembly
will be affected.
Delayed maintenance or accidental damage can make
replacement necessary. Follow the same procedure used
for replacing the disposable filter. Trial and error shifting
of the seam will be necessary to minimize vibration. If the
drum is distorted, it may be necessary to re-balance the
unit.
Secondary Filter Replacement
The third stage secondary-filter replacement requires
the removal of the rotating drum.
