Expertise in indoor industrial air pollution comes from years of experience with indoor air quality, engineering, sales, consulting and design

Cast Metal Machining Mist Eliminators

Do you want to save money maintaining indoor air pollution levels in your cast metal machine shop? We know that collecting mist and smoke created while wet machining metal parts that have been cast can be difficult and expensive. Plant managers are frequently looking for less costly mist eliminator options for their cast metal machining centers. Traditional oil mist eliminators can not handle cast metal machining mist and smoke the same way they handle non-cast metal machine center pollution. Due to the nature of the contaminant, there is little freedom in choosing mist eliminators for cast metal machining. read more

Cast Metal Machine Mist Collection is a Challenge

by Rod Yarbrough

Usually, metalworking machine mist can be collected with ESP coolant mist eliminators, but cast metal is a little different. Most metal, when being machined, falls off like pencil shavings in little chunks or curly strips. With cast metals, the portion of metal that is removed, comes off in a very fine powder that becomes airborne. Combined with oil mist or coolant spray, this powder eventually settles as a soft paste. The paste is not gritty, it feels like smooth mud. It gets everywhere and clogs up filters quickly. This muddy paste, being made of metal powder and oil, is electrically conductive. Most ESP based oil mist eliminators will load up and bridge the cell gap or insulators, shorting the collection cells. Metal paste will get into any little crevices or joints that are not sealed. Unless the electrostatic mist eliminator is very well sealed and insulated, metal paste will seep around edges and short out connections inside. For this reason, it is generally safer to use media based mist eliminators, though Trion claims many of their electrostatic precipitators are sealed, insulated and engineered with ample cell plate spacing to handle cast metal machine mist.

There a lot of factors involved in finding the most efficient coolant mist eliminator for machining cast metal. Your best bet is to talk to a knowledgeable industry expert who can sift through all the technical details necessary to pin point the optimum oil smoke mist eliminator for your application.

How do you know if mist eliminator salespeople knows what they are talking about? In order to find optimum configuration for your shop, fan size, filtration media, mounting options, etc, they should be asking you the following questions:

What material is being machined?
What is the make and model of the machine center?
Is the machine tool enclosed?
If enclosed, what are the dimensions of the enclosure?
What are the sizes of any fixed openings in the enclosure, such as access windows or conveyor openings?
What type of coolant is being used (synthetic, oil or water)
At what pressure if coolant being sprayed?
If using flood coolant, what is its flow rate?
What is the average or estimated cycle time per part?
How many process hours does the machine operate per day or per shift?
Are there any special electrical requirements?

Knowing the answers to these questions can also be a helpful timesaver when calling on the assistance of a mist eliminator expert.
