Oil Mist Collectors
Centrifugal (Mechanical) Mist Collectors
- Working Principle: Use a rotating impeller to create centrifugal force that throws oil mist droplets out of the air.
- Filtration Level: Coarse to medium.
- Pros:
- Low maintenance.
- Compact design.
- Good for large droplets.
- Cons:
- Less effective on submicron particles.
-
Best For: General machining (e.g. CNC turning centers and machining centers).
Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP)
- Working Principle: Ionizes particles with a high-voltage field and collects them on oppositely charged plates.
- Filtration Level: Very fine mist and smoke (<1 micron).
- Pros:
- High filtration efficiency.
- Reusable filters.
- Cons:
- Needs regular cleaning.
- Sensitive to moisture or conductive mist.
Best For: EDM, grinding, fine mist or smoke environments.
