Government organizations, such as OSHA, legally require employers to meet exposure limits. Machining, milling, and grinding processes produce oil mist when metalworking fluids come in contact with tooling components and become dispersed throughout the air. Oil mist turns into oil smoke when exposed to high temperatures during processes. Oil mist and smoke create health hazards and contaminate expensive and vital CNC machine parts. <\/p>\n<h2>Benefits of Mist Collectors &#8211; Reduce Maintenance &#038; Downtime<\/h2>\n<p>Oil mist collectors benefit CNC machines by reducing maintenance needs and downtime. The picture below shows an oil-laden fan that has been removed from a CNC machine. CNC machines lacking proper mist collectors create common and reoccurring maintenance problems soiling parts including fans, circuit boards, control panels, cooling system filters, and tooling parts<a href=\"#Source1\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_334899\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sentryair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DirtyCNCFan-BenefitsofMistCollectors-IMG_1710-edited2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-334899\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sentryair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DirtyCNCFan-BenefitsofMistCollectors-IMG_1710-edited2-1024x936.jpg\" alt=\"Benefits of Mist Collectors\" width=\"680\" height=\"622\" class=\"size-large wp-image-334899\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sentryair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DirtyCNCFan-BenefitsofMistCollectors-IMG_1710-edited2-1024x936.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sentryair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DirtyCNCFan-BenefitsofMistCollectors-IMG_1710-edited2-300x274.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sentryair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DirtyCNCFan-BenefitsofMistCollectors-IMG_1710-edited2-768x702.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sentryair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/DirtyCNCFan-BenefitsofMistCollectors-IMG_1710-edited2.jpg 1938w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-334899\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dirty Fan from CNC Machine without a Mist Collector<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nFirst, dirt and high humidity damage circuit boards and clog up cooling system filters. Once cooling system filters start to clog, airflow becomes blocked resulting in system failure or other performance issues<a href=\"#Source1\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a>. The cooling system protects valuable electronic components such as the drives, power supplies, monitors, and control systems. If the cooling system does not work properly, temperatures will rise causing electronic components to become damaged and even fail to operate properly<a href=\"#Source1\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Similarly, oil mist can seep into the coolant pump systems creating bacteria that deteriorate seals on the motor pumps<a href=\"#Source2\"><sup>2<\/sup><\/a>. Also, dirty coolant corrodes metal surfaces leading to tool degradation, accuracy problems, and declining parts quality<a href=\"#Source2\"><sup>2<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, oil mist can clog filters and coils in the shop\u2019s HVAC or air conditioning system. High energy costs can result from over exhausting air to remove the oil mist in the ambient air<a href=\"#Source3\"><sup>3<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, increased frequency of maintenance causes more machine downtime with a reduction in productivity. Properly controlling oil mist reduces the need for maintenance and allows production to continue on schedule. In turn, money can be saved with the reduction of the need for replacement parts and technician visits.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefits of Mist Collectors &#8211; Ensure General Shop Safety <\/h2>\n<p>In a like manner, oil mist collectors benefit overall shop safety. Lack of oil mist collectors leads to overall shop safety concerns; even in enclosed CNC machines, oil mist can escape when opening the door while loading raw materials and removing finished parts<a href=\"#Source4\"><sup>4<\/sup><\/a>. When oil mist escapes from CNC machines, it lands on nearby surfaces around a machine shop including walls, counters, floors, and lighting<a href=\"#Source4\"><sup>4<\/sup><\/a>.  Oil mist on lighting makes it darker in the shop and oil on other surfaces creates more need for housekeeping<a href=\"#Source3\"><sup>3<\/sup><\/a>. Not only does this cause cleanliness concerns, but oil on the floor may create a slip hazard. Equally, oil mist creates a fire hazard by creating a flammable line of oil on the floor and other surfaces<a href=\"#Source4\"><sup>4<\/sup><\/a>. <\/p>\n<h2>Benefits of Mist Collectors &#8211; Protect Employee Health<\/h2>\n<p>Moreover, benefits of mist collectors encompass protecting employee health from exposure to oil mist through dermal contact and inhalation<a href=\"#Source5\"><sup>5<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Dermal Exposure<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>First, when oil mist touches skin, contact dermatitis may form in areas of exposure<a href=\"#Source5\"><sup>5<\/sup><\/a>.
