Mist Collectors

Cleaner, Safer Machining Operations

In metalworking and wet machining processes the oils and coolants used will pollute the work atmosphere in the form of mist. Left unmanaged, this mist collects on floors, walls, work surfaces, and equipment, creating an unpleasant environment that is unhealthy and unsafe for workers.

Equipment can also be damaged by oil and coolant accumulation. Cardinal Air is your source for mist collection solutions for the effective management of submicronic mist contaminants.

Mist Collectors Designed for Reliability and Performance

Cardinal Air offers you the advantage of extensive experience and expertise in developing mist collection solutions. In addition to bringing you advanced mist collection technology from Superior, we provide you with knowledgeable guidance in developing the most efficient mist collector solution to meet your specific needs and challenges.

      1. The Mechanical Element separates up to 90%
      of the oil mist and swarf.  The smooth metal surfaces quickly drains fluid
      back to the sump.

Industrial Mist Collectors in Ohio

Maintaining clean air inside a manufacturing facility is about more than comfort. Air quality directly impacts employee safety, equipment performance, productivity, and the overall efficiency of your operation.

During machining and metalworking processes, airborne oil and coolant mist can quickly accumulate if it is not properly controlled. A high-quality mist collector helps eliminate these contaminants before they create hazardous conditions or interfere with production.

At Cardinal Air Design, we provide custom industrial mist collector solutions for manufacturers throughout Ohio. Whether your facility operates CNC machining centers, lathes, milling machines, or other wet machining equipment, our experienced team designs systems that capture airborne mist while supporting a cleaner, safer work environment. We combine proven equipment with expert engineering to deliver reliable results that fit your facility and production goals.

Why Your Facility Needs a Mist Collector

Many machining operations rely on oils, water-soluble coolants, and lubricants to reduce friction and extend tool life. As cutting speeds increase, these fluids become atomized into microscopic droplets that remain suspended in the air.

Without an effective mist collector, these airborne particles settle throughout your facility. They can accumulate on:

  • Machinery and production equipment
  • Walls and ceilings
  • Floors and walkways
  • Electrical components
  • Finished products
  • Employee workstations

The result is slippery surfaces, increased maintenance requirements, contaminated equipment, and reduced indoor air quality. Over time, excessive mist buildup can shorten equipment life while creating an uncomfortable environment for employees.

Installing the proper industrial mist collector removes these contaminants directly at the source before they spread throughout the building.

Oil Mist Collector Solutions for Machining Operations

Oil-based machining fluids present unique filtration challenges because the airborne particles are extremely fine and often remain suspended for extended periods. A properly engineered oil mist collector captures these droplets before they circulate through your facility.

Cardinal Air Design provides oil mist collector systems designed for applications including:

  • CNC machining
  • Swiss screw machines
  • Turning operations
  • Boring
  • Grinding
  • Milling
  • High-speed machining
  • Hydraulic fluid applications

Rather than recommending a one-size-fits-all solution, our team evaluates your machinery, production process, airflow requirements, and facility layout to determine the ideal oil mist collector for your operation.

Coolant Mist Collector Systems That Improve Air Quality

Water-soluble coolants generate extremely fine airborne particles that can spread throughout a production floor. While these coolants improve machining performance, they can create significant housekeeping and air quality challenges when left unmanaged.

A properly designed coolant mist collector captures these contaminants before they settle onto equipment or become part of the facility’s breathing air.

Our coolant mist collector solutions help reduce:

  • Airborne coolant particles
  • Slippery floors
  • Residue on machinery
  • Frequent cleaning requirements
  • Equipment contamination
  • Downtime caused by excessive buildup

Cleaner air also helps improve visibility around machining centers while creating a more comfortable workplace for machine operators.

Custom Industrial Mist Collector Design

Every manufacturing operation is different. The number of machines, coolant type, airflow requirements, production schedules, and available installation space all influence the ideal filtration system.

That’s why Cardinal Air Design approaches every industrial mist collector project with a customized design process.

Our team works closely with customers throughout Ohio to evaluate:

  • Machine type
  • Number of machining centers
  • Airflow requirements
  • Type of machining fluid
  • Available floor space
  • Ceiling height
  • Existing ventilation systems
  • Future expansion plans

By understanding your operation first, we can recommend an industrial mist collector that delivers reliable long-term performance without oversizing or undersizing the system.

High-Efficiency Multi-Stage Filtration

Effective mist collection requires more than simply moving air. Modern systems use multiple stages of filtration to separate increasingly smaller particles before clean air is returned to the workspace.

Cardinal Air Design offers mist collection equipment featuring advanced multi-stage filtration capable of removing both coolant and oil mist with efficiencies reaching up to 99.7%, depending on the application.

Optional HEPA filtration is also available for applications requiring even finer particulate removal.

This layered filtration process helps extend filter life while maintaining consistent airflow and excellent collection efficiency.
