Donaldson Company, Inc.
Improper operation of mist collectors and/or mist control systems may contribute to conditions in a work area or
facility which could result in severe personal injury, and product or property damage. All mist collection equipment
should be used only for its intended purpose and should be properly selected and sized for its intended use.
Process owners have important responsibilities relating to identifying and addressing potential hazards in their
processes. When the potential for handling combustible mist exists within a process the process owner should
include combustion hazards in their risk management activities and should comply with applicable codes and
standards related to combustible mist.
Electrical installation must be performed by a qualied electrician.
This equipment is not designed to support site ducts, piping, or electrical services. All ducts, piping, or electrical
services must be adequately supported to prevent injury and/or property damage.
Site selection must account for wind, seismic zone, and other load conditions.
Equipment may reach peak sound pressure levels above 80 dB (A). Noise levels should be considered when
selecting collector location.
Most mists present safety and health hazards that require precautions. Wear eye, respiratory, head and other
protection equipment suitable for the type of mist.
Some components may be heavier than they appear. Use appropriate lifting methods to avoid personal injury and/or
property damage.

Combustible Mist Hazards
Among other considerations, the current NFPA standards require owners whose processes involve potentially combustible
materials to have a current Dust Hazard Analysis, which can serve as the foundation for their process hazard mitigation strategy.
Mitigation may include but is not limited to:
• Prevention of all ignition sources from entering any dust collection equipment.
• Selection and implementation of re and explosion mitigation, suppression, and isolation strategies appropriate for the
risks in their process.
• Development and use of work practices to maintain safe operating conditions, and to ensure combustible dust does not
accumulate within their plant or process equipment.
Donaldson designs, manufactures, and sells industrial air ltration products for a wide variety of applications. Some applications
may include processes or materials with inherent re and explosion hazards. Donaldson is neither an expert nor a certied
consultant in re, spark, or explosion detection, suppression, or control. Donaldson does not provide engineering consulting
services related to process or dust hazard analyses, or code and standard compliance. Complying with applicable codes and
standards and managing the risks associated with the process or materials remains the responsibility of the process owner/
operator. Donaldson may provide referrals to consultants, suppliers of equipment or services related to the detection and/
or mitigation of sparks, res and/or explosions, but Donaldson does not assume responsibility for any such referrals, nor does
Donaldson assume any liability for the tness of a mitigation strategy or product for a particular installation or application. The
process owner’s nal selection of dust collectors and risk mitigation strategies should be based on the outcome of a Dust Hazard /
Process Hazard Analysis performed by the process owner. Although early engagement of a dust collector supplier provides helpful
insights on the availability and features of various products, process owners should consult with a combustible dust expert and/or a
process safety expert before making actual product and mitigation strategy selections.
Donaldson recommends that all industrial air ltration system designs be reviewed and approved by an expert consultant who is
responsible for the integrity of the system design and compliance with applicable codes and standards. It is the process owner’s
responsibility to understand the risks in their process and mitigate those risks in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations
and standards, including those published by the NFPA. Donaldson also recommends that proper maintenance and housekeeping
procedures and work practices be evaluated, developed, and followed to maintain any industrial air ltration products in safe
operating condition.
Many factors beyond the control of Donaldson can affect the use and performance of Donaldson products in a particular
application, including the conditions under which the product is used. Since these factors are uniquely within the user’s knowledge
and control, it is essential the user evaluate the Donaldson products to determine whether the product is t for the particular
purpose and suitable for the user’s application. All products, product specications, and data (airow, capacity, dimensions, or
availability) are subject to change without notice, and may vary by region or country.

The Dryo mist collector, Models MMA and MMB, mount directly to a machining center to collect airborne mist such as oil, water-
soluble, and synthetic coolant from machining operations. Three stages of ltration, plus an optional HEPA lter, provide a cleaner,
healthier work environment as well as a more cost effective means of mist collection. With airow capacities from 390 to 800 cfm,
the Dryo is a strategic component to meeting industrial and government air-quality standards. The high efciency lter cartridges
allow air and coolants to be recycled and the cartridge efciency actually increases as the collector operates.
Designed to increase the versatility of the collector, standard options include inlet hoppers, impact separators, drain collection
methods and an adjustable stand. A variety of lter media specically designed for mist collection, from heavy liquid-load to heavy
particulate-load applications, is also available.
Intended Use
Airborne mist is small droplets of liquid suspended in the air. Dryo mist collectors are widely used in machine tool operations
using metalworking uids. Metalworking uids include straight oil, water-soluble coolants, soluble oil, and semi-synthetic coolants.
These uids perform a variety of functions such as lubricating or cooling the part or the tool, ushing chips away from the part, and
suppressing dust and smoke. Oils and coolants allow machines to operate faster and tools to last longer resulting in high quality
parts.
Mist is created two ways: mechanical action or thermal effects. Mechanical action refers to aerosol used for light lubrication and
generally creates mist greater than one micron in size. Thermal effects occur when heat vaporizes the coolant; the vapor cools and
recondenses into a mist. Thermal effects create mist from 0.01 to 1 micron in size. Other contaminants, such as dust from the part
or the tool or smoke from the combustion of the oil or coolant are also generated when using metalworking uids.
The Dryo can collect some dust with the mist; however, it should not be operated without mist. The collector is not designed to
handle water mist alone as water vapor will pass through the lters. The extremes of very heavy oil and light, thin oil should be
avoided. Very heavy oil, similar to tar consistency, will not drain while very light, thin oil, may evaporate.
2 Product Description
Standard Equipment
Machine Mount
The air inlet also serves the collector as a drain, collected mist droplets drain back into the machine center. Machine mounting, or
collection at the source is the most efcient means of mist collection.
Inlet Gasket
Used on machine centers that have a large, at unobstructed top surface.
Integral Housed Fan
The integrated fan assembly provides airow for the collector.
Minihelic®Gauge
The Minihelic is a differential pressure gauge used to measure the pressure difference between the clean- and dirty-air plenums
and provides a visual display of lter change requirements.
Exhaust Pack
The exhaust pack provides an exit for clean air with additional HEPA and DOP lter options.

During normal operation, contaminated air enters the collector through the dirty-air inlet on the bottom of the unit. The air passes
through a reusable rst-stage lter designed to collect and coalesce large droplets and particles. Smaller mist droplets pass to a
second-stage lter wrap where the small droplets coalesce into larger droplets.
The third and most efcient stage of ltration is the pleated lter specically designed to collect, coalesce, and drain ne mist. As
the mist coalesce, the droplets are big enough to run down the element and drain back into the collector. The droplets will drain
on both the inside and outside of the lter cartridge. Liquid that collects on the inside of the cartridge drains back into the machine
center. Clean, mist-free air exits the lter cartridge and discharges near the top of the collector.
Collector Operation
Electrical work during installation, service or maintenance must be performed by a qualied electrician and comply
with all applicable national and local codes.
Turn power off and lock out all power before performing service or maintenance work.
Turn compressed air supply off, bleed and lock out lines before performing service or maintenance work.
Check that the collector is clear and free of all debris before starting.
Do not install in classied hazardous atmospheres without an enclosure rated for the application.

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 pressure drop across lters.
Abnormal changes in pressure drop may indicate a change in operating conditions and possibly a fault to be corrected. If the
pressure gauge is in the red zone, the second-stage lter wrap or third-stage lter cartridge may need replacement. In some
applications, it may be necessary to replace the second-stage lter wrap two to three times during the life of a single, third-
stage lter cartridge. To detemine if the second-stage lter wrap needs replacing, install a clean wrap, restart the collector, and
check the pressure gauge reading. If the gauge is now in the green zone, continue to operate the collector with the new wrap.
If the gauge still reads in the red zone, the lter cartridge needs replacement.
3. Monitor exhaust. Exhaust should remain visually clean throughout lter life. If leaks are visible, check the lter cartridge and
optional HEPA lter for positive gasket seals.
4. Monitor hopper drainage. If slow or stopped, check hopper for obstructions and clean as necessary. Check rst-stage lter and
clean as required.
5. Monitor second-stage lter wrap.
During any service activities there is some potential for exposure to the mist in the collector. Most mists present
safety and health hazards that require precautions. Wear eye, respiratory, head and other protection equipment
suitable for the type of mist when performing any service activities.
Use appropriate access equipment and procedures. Note the standard collector is not equipped with access
platforms unless noted on the specication drawings.
LOCK-OUT all energy sources prior to performing any service or maintenance on the equipment.
Electrical service or maintenance work must be performed by a qualied electrician and comply with all applicable
national and local codes.
