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.
