Mist Collection for Your Safety, Quality And Cost-Reduction

Mists refers to the tiny droplets of water, oil, particulates( like in smoke or dust) and coolants. In industries and manufacturing units, mists are produced from machines in operation. Mist collection system can be problematic for the safety of people working there in the factory premises, for the factory’s maintenance and causing contamination. Many a times these mists are inhaled by workers, or sucked into the ventilation systems or they end up being deposited on the surfaces. Not only they destroy machine parts, but they also cause harm to humans.

There are several types of mist collection system produced in manufacturing facilities including smoke, oil/coolant and dust.

Processes like welding and grinding produce smoke fine particulate mists. Oil\Coolant mists occur mostly during high-speed machining operations. The pressure and heat from turning, milling and grinding create aerosolized oil\coolant emulsions in the factories. Dust consists of fine unwanted pollutant particulates. They may be produced in HVAC systems or from machine operations and also, from environmental factors. The liquids and particulates that make up mists are so tiny that they are less than a micrometer in diameter. They are light and are able to float freely in the air. The slightest amount of air flow can carry them to long distances in and outside the factory premises. A mist collection system collects the mists and traps it, thus preventing it to escape.

Inhaled Mist Collection System are Hazardous to You And Your Employee’s Health

Equally as bad, mist can accumulate on floors and surfaces which can cause safety concerns for slips and falls. In addition, the accumulated mists on the surfaces and ducting needs to be cleaned regularly with a mist collection system. This build-up increases cleaning and filtration costs of the company. Accumulated mist is also a problem for facilities producing medical devices and instruments, aerospace and automotive, engines and transmissions.

Given the Problems Caused by Mist, Addressing Them Timely and Efficiently is a Must

Ultimately, mist reduction leads to a decrease in health risks, improves facility costs and helps meet customer requirements. Installing a mist collection system is an excellent way to mitigate mists that wreak havoc on health, facilities and machine parts. Mist collection systems collect mist at the source. They capture the droplets before they can be through the facility. However, mist collection systems available at FLTR guarantee you in providing safety as well as saving costs.
