3 Amazing Benefits Of Using Mist
Collectors Industrial processes like machining,
grinding, and milling produce oil mist when
fluids come in contact with tooling components,
and become dispersed throughout the air. Such
oil mist not only affects the machine parts, but
also impacts the health of the workers and
others in the premises. To resolve all such
issues, mist collectors are used. Mist collectors
ensure overall shop safety and employee health,
while also reducing maintenance and downtime.
Oil mist collectors ensure overall shop
safety Even in enclosed machines, oil mist can
escape when opening the door, while loading raw
materials and removing finished parts. This
escaped oil mist can land on nearby surfaces
like walls, floors, counters, and lighting. This
increases the need for housekeeping, as it
causes cleanliness concerns and slipping hazards.
And, if there is any kind of fire or spark
around, it can also result in creating a fire
hazard. Oil mist collectors ensure employee
health When oil mist touches the skin, it can
result in itchy skin, rashes, blisters, cracks,
redness, and appearance of bumps. This may then
lead to severe complications. Similarly, if the
oil mist is inhaled, it can cause respiratory
irritations, shortness of breath, vomiting,
headache, fatigue, and burning sensation in the
mouth, throat, or stomach. It may also cause
long-term or lasting respiratory conditions like
asthma, chronic bronchitis, chronic cough, lung
impairment, lung damage, airway irritation, and
also heart damage. Although rare, oil mist
inhalation can

also cause cancer of the rectum, larynx, skin,
pancreas, scrotum, and bladder. An oil mist
collector can thus reduce all such damages
related to oil mist inhalation and contact. Oil
mist collectors reduce maintenance and
downtime Machines that lack proper mist
collectors create common and recurring
maintenance problems of parts like circuit
boards, control panels, fans, cooling system
filters, and tooling parts. It begins with the
dirt and humidity damaging the circuit boards,
and clogging up cooling system filters. Once the
cooling system filters start to clog, the
airflow becomes blocked, which results in system
failure or other performance issues. The cooling
system is responsible for protecting valuable
electronic components like power supplies,
monitors, drives, and control systems. If the
cooling system does not work properly, the
temperature rises, causing the electronic
components to damage, and failing to operate
properly. Going further, oil mist can seep into
the coolant pump systems, creating bacteria that
can deteriorate seals on the motor pumps. Also,
dirty coolants can corrode the metal surfaces,
leading to tool degradation and declining
quality of the parts. Oil mist can also clog
filters and coils in air conditioning and HVAC
systems. Properly controlling oil mist with the
help of an oil mist collector can reduce the
need for maintenance, and allows production to
continue on schedule. Thus, money can be saved
with the reduction of the need for replacement
parts and technician visits. Hence, if you want
to ensure the safety of your workplace and your
employees, while also reducing the time and
costs spent on maintenance, you must install
