1. Benefits of Mist Collectors Mist collectors are an effective and efficient way to reduce the number of airborne particles in your facility and keep it fresh and clean. In addition, they can help reduce the airborne dust, pollen and other allergens present in your workplace. Oil mist is formed when the metalworking fluids are in contact with the tooling components during the machining, milling, and grinding. In processes, high temperatures cause oil mist to become oil smoke. Smoke and oil mist pose health risks and pollute costly and essential CNC machine parts. Minimal maintenance of the building Mist collectors can also be used to minimize the maintenance requirements of a building. These units do not require frequent cleaning or replacement because they trap most airborne particles before they become airborne. This allows you to reduce downtime and increase productivity by keeping your facility cleaner and operating at total capacity more often than possible. Benefits of the CNC machines: It prevents the damage to the parts of the machines which is caused due to the mist. The common problems affect the fans, control panels, circuit boards, cooling system filters, tooling parts, etc., due to the clogging and blockage caused by the oil mist. Hence oil mist collectors benefit the CNC machines, as there is a minimal need for maintenance. Controlling oil mist lowers the need for care and enables production to go as planned. Furthermore, since no condensers or pumps are involved in the process, there is less energy consumption associated with this type of system. As a result, there will be less need for replacement components and service calls, resulting in cost savings. Ensures Safety of the building: Two significant hazards are oil spills in and around the machines, walls, floors, counters, lightings, and buildings. In addition, they are an explosive hazard and slipping risk due to the oily surface. Hence, oil mist collectors are required to prevent these hazards. Health Safety Due to inhalation and dermal contact, oil mists because health hazards also. For example, when the oil mists are touched directly, there is a massive chance for the cause of dermatitis, a skin-related condition. On the other hand, inhaling the oil mist causes various health problems such as fever, headache, vomiting, eye irritation, burning sensation in the mouth, throat, and stomach, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, etc. These problems might become permanent if exposed regularly or for a long time. Such issues might result in asthma, chronic bronchitis, lung disease, cancer of the rectum, pancreas, larynx, scrotum, bladder, etc. Meets OSHA's requirements: Mist collector advantages also include fulfilling legal obligations such as OSHA's. For example, employers are compelled by law to limit their employees' exposure to oil mist. The permissible exposure limit set by OSHA is 5 mg/m3 over an 8-hour workday.

2. There are many mist collector manufacturers available in the market. You can choose any of them according to your requirement and budget. Some mist collector manufacturers provide complete packages such as a mist collector system with filter, temperature sensor, and various other accessories; others offer only one part, such as filters or sensors, etc.
