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.
Purpose and Intended Use
Misuse or modification of
this equipment may result in
personal injury.
Do not misuse or modify.
Centrifugal mist collectors are intended for
separation of various liquid 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 and only smoke of an oily
nature or 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.
Combustible materials such as buffing lint, paper, wood, metal dusts, weld fume, or
flammable coolants or solvents represent potential fire and/or explosion hazards. Use
special care when selecting, installing, and operating all dust, fume, or mist collection equipment
when such combustible materials may be present in order to protect workers and property from
serious injury or damage due to a fire and/or explosion.
Consult and comply with all National and Local Codes related to fire and/or explosion properties
of combustible materials when determining the location and operation of all dust, fume, or mist
collection equipment.
Standard Donaldson Torit equipment is not equipped with fire extinguishing or explosion protection
systems.

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 until they coalesce
and grow to 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 overall performance of the collector.
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 secondary-filter replacement requires the
removal of the rotating drum. Replace the filter by
reversing the removal process.
