Improve the Efficiency of Your Industrial Air Filtration Unit
In many factories I see the large media post HEPA filters mounted on top of MistBuster and Tri-Mist electrostatic air filtration units.
Prevent Blowback When Cleaning Parts with Shop Air
Compressed air is used to remove oil particulates and or fluid coatings from the recently machined part. Due to the high velocity of air pressure being sprayed into the part, droplets of oil are aerosolized and are “blown off” into the ambient factory air.
Main Causes of Oily Floors in Modern Machine Shops
The air filtration (MistBuster – Tri-Mist) system on the CNC is not working correctly causing oily floors. Make sure the air filtration unit is on and that the blower is running.
Cleaning Cells – Avoid These Mistakes – Electrostatic MistBuster & Tri-Mist Units
There comes a time where your equipment is running smoothly and then all of a sudden everything comes to a standstill. Cleaning cells in sources capture equipment on a CNC machine is crucial to reducing machine downtime.
Is Your Indicator Light Blinking on Your Industrial Air Filtration Unit?
The metal fins within the unicell cannot touch one another or the electrical current running through the charged cell will ground out. When the indicator light is blinking please follow the procedure below to solve the problem.
Should I Use a Post HEPA Filter on my MistBuster?
In many factories I see the large post HEPA filter sitting on top of many Mistbuster and Trimist electrostatic air filtration units.
Washing MistBuster and Tri-Mist Cells – Do’s & Don’ts
The collection plates that are stacked closely together which make up each unicell assembly have a large surface area and can only be cleaned by submersion in a non-etching cell soap.
Reduced Air Flow – Slippery Factory Floors
In many factories I find a thin oil residue on all the equipment, floors, and sometimes even the boxes for finished products. I see that all the CNC units have Air Filtration units attached like Tri-Mist and MistBusters, and in many cases they even have HEPA filters attached.
Air Filtration in the Automotive Industry
The automotive industry has been humming along for over a century and has continued to grow to what it is today. Along the way, pioneers developed ways to assemble more automobiles faster and more affordable to the masses.
Outsource Electrostatic Cell Cleaning
Some companies choose to wash their electrostatic cells in house as a cost savings procedure. But itemizing all the costs associated with this procedure might cause you to take a second look at outsourcing it.
Do You Have Smoke and Mist Coming From Your Chip Conveyor?
I have seen many instances where mist is coming from the chip conveyor. The chip conveyor removes recently generated scrap metal from the bottom of the CNC, pulling the metal chips up and out the side, dumping them into a chip barrel.
Should I Outsource the Cleaning of Electrostatic Cells?
It all depends on how many units you have vs. manpower and equipment needed to clean them well, and be able to do it consistently and with efficiency. There are companies that wash electrostatic cells.
