Oil mist collectors are commonly used in machining environments where various types of machining machines are employed. These machines often generate oil mist as a byproduct of the metalworking and cutting processes. Some of the machining machines that frequently require oil mist collectors include:
CNC Machining Centers: Computer Numerical Control (CNC) milling and turning machines generate oil mist when cutting, drilling, and shaping metal workpieces. Coolants and lubricants are often used in these processes.
Milling Machines: Milling machines, whether manual or CNC, generate oil mist during the milling process, especially when coolant or cutting fluids are used to improve cutting performance.
Lathe Machines: Lathes used in metalworking operations produce oil mist when cutting, turning, and shaping metal components, often using cutting fluids.
Grinding Machines: Surface grinders, cylindrical grinders, and other types of grinding machines produce oil mist during the grinding process, especially when coolant or lubricants are applied.
Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM): EDM machines, which use electrical discharges to shape metal, can generate oil mist when dielectric fluids are used.
Wire EDM Machines: Wire Electrical Discharge Machining (Wire EDM) machines generate oil mist when cutting intricate shapes in metal workpieces using dielectric fluids.
Drill Presses: Drill presses, both manual and CNC, can produce oil mist when drilling and tapping operations are performed with cutting fluids.
Boring Machines: Boring machines used for enlarging holes in metal workpieces may generate oil mist when coolants or lubricants are applied.
Sawing Machines: Bandsaws and circular saws used for cutting metal materials can generate oil mist if lubricants or coolants are used during the cutting process.
Honing Machines: Honing machines used to create precision surface finishes on metal workpieces may produce oil mist when using honing oils or coolants.
Laser Cutting Machines: Laser cutting machines can produce oil mist if oils or coolants are used to assist in the cutting process, particularly in metalworking applications.
Waterjet Cutting Machines: Waterjet cutting machines may generate oil mist if hydraulic oils or cutting fluids are utilized in the process.
Turning Centers: CNC turning centers generate oil mist when cutting, turning, and shaping metal workpieces, often using cutting fluids or coolants.
Screw Machines: Screw machines, including single-spindle and multi-spindle machines, can generate oil mist when machining metal components and using cutting fluids.
The use of oil mist collectors is essential to maintain a clean and safe working environment in these machining operations, as it helps capture and remove airborne oil mist particles, improving air quality and reducing the risk of health and safety hazards for workers. The specific type of oil mist collector required depends on factors such as the machine size, the volume of oil mist generated, and the type of machining fluids used.
Tinme oil mist collector has been playing good role in this industry, it works for all kinds of machining machines and help to improve the metalworking workshop to meet PM 2.5 environment standard.
