Challenge

The shop recently installed a new CNC machine with a large machining envelope and significant airflow requirements. However, they needed to avoid mounting any equipment directly onto the machine to prevent vibrations that could affect tight tolerances.

Their goal: eliminate oil and coolant mist without risking performance.

AFS Solution

A ceiling-mounted MistBuster 2000 was installed to capture airborne mist without adding any load to the machine.

• The unit is service-friendly and includes a drainage setup to direct excess coolant to the sump.
• Given the high usage, on-site maintenance ensures clean filters are swapped regularly without disrupting operations.

The Results

• Clean, healthy air in the machining area
• No impact on part tolerances
• Zero downtime due to proactive servicing
• A discreet, effective mist collection system that supports high-precision work
