Why Should You Use Oil Mist Filtration?
Oil mist is a combination of 90-95 water and the
rest 5-10 soluble oil and depending upon the
type of oil-based fluid being used, the mist can
contain a number of other additives as well.
When left on its own, oil mist turns into an
oily substance on equipment and products. What
causes oil mist? Oil mist and fumes can be caused
through vapourization of the cooling lubricant
around quick rotating tools like milling,
grinding, and turning or the condensation of
vapourized cooling lubricant on warm surfaces.
Either way, all surfaces coated with cooling
lubricants can prove to be a source of emission.
The warmer the surface, the greater the risk of
contamination, which means higher risk to the
employees. Why is oil mist dangerous? Long-term
or repeated exposure to oil mist proves to be
harmful for health. Workers who are exposed to
oil mist are at a risk of developing skin
disorders, respiratory problems, occupational
asthma, bronchitis, or any other such
respiratory tract irritation or breathing
difficulties. Why is it important to control oil
mist within the premises? It is important for
employers to evaluate the potential impact that
the manufacturing operations and processes may
have on the workplace environment, and the
wellbeing and health of the employees. Removing
oil mist is thus an important aspect of any
workplace, as it provides cleanliness as well

mist not only contributes to employee health,
but also provides a positive impact on the
general working environment. Mistkiller The
ideal solution The best solution for oil mist
control is installing an industrial oil mist
filtration unit that utilizes industrial oil
mist filters for oil mist collection. The
Mistkiller from Powertech Pollution Controls
Pvt. Ltd. is a trademarked oil mist collector
that is designed and developed for the control of
most types of mist generated by the use of
water-based coolants or liquids. It is an air
pollution control equipment that works primarily
on the principle of high-speed centrifugal
collection of liquids. A prefilter, consisting of
a small chamber with aluminium flakes, provides
the initial gross filtration of the mist. The
built-in suction fan, driven by an induction
motor, provides a powerful suction that sucks
the mist in through the exhaust port of the
generating equipment and the connecting PVC
duct. the fans high speed generates a
centrifugal force that throws the mist against
the inner side of the equipments enclosure,
which then condenses under pressure, the
collected liquid flowing down through the PVC
duct, and returning to the generating equipment
for re-use. The outlet is provided with a foam
or steel postfilter, which needs simple periodic
washing with a high-pressure water jet. This
product requires least maintenance and running
costs, as compared with other conventional
mechanical filters. Moreover, it can be used with
a wide variety of applications like CNC and
non-CNC machines, cleaning chambers, spraying
systems, and more. Order the Mistkiller oil mist
collector, to contribute to a safer and
healthier work environment. Along with the
