Cleantek manufacturing mist collector in various capacity. Oil mist (oil fumes) is fine micro particles generated when oil reach a high temperature and evaporates.The size of the oil mist depends on the conditions of the heating, but it is between 0.1 m. and 3 m,and returns to the original oil when it condenses. In hauling this oil mist very dangerous to human Health, So Capture and Filter this mist particles from CNC machines is very important. Cleantek offers very high efficiency mist collectors to capture micro fumes and mist particles.
A Cleankek coolant mist collector is a device designed to remove coolant mist, smoke, and other airborne contaminants generated during machining processes such as CNC machining, milling, drilling, and grinding. These mist collectors help maintain a clean and safe working environment by capturing and filtering out the mist and smoke produced by cutting fluids and oils used in metalworking operations.
The coolant mist collector typically consists of a series of filters, including pre-filters and HEPA filters, which trap the mist particles before releasing the cleaned air back into the workspace. Some models may also incorporate additional features such as variable speed fans, automatic filter cleaning systems, and adjustable airflow controls to optimize performance and efficiency.
By removing coolant mist and smoke, these collectors help prevent respiratory issues among workers, reduce the risk of slippery floors and machinery, and prolong the lifespan of equipment by minimizing the accumulation of oil and coolant residue. They are commonly used in industrial settings where metalworking operations produce significant amounts of airborne contaminants.
Cleantek mist collectors are used in various industrial settings where metalworking processes generate coolant mist, smoke, and other airborne contaminants. Some common applications include:
Our mist collector ensures increased productivity and morale improves by providing a cleaner hygienic working environment.
During CNC machining and other metalworking operations, oil and coolant mists are generated as lubricants and coolants are sprayed at high pressure to manage friction and temperature. These fluids create fine mist particles that range in size, typically from 0.1 to 20 microns. This mist can also contain other contaminants such as metal shavings, fumes, and other harmful byproducts, which vary in size depending on the machining process and the material being worked on.
Ultrafine Particles (<1 micron): These are small enough to penetrate deep into the respiratory system. Once inhaled, they can enter the bloodstream, potentially causing respiratory issues, inflammation, and long-term health conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and even cardiovascular problems.
Fine Particles (1-5 microns): Fine particles are often the most abundant in CNC oil and coolant mist. These particles can be inhaled and deposited in the bronchi, leading to lung irritation, chronic bronchitis, and other respiratory conditions. Prolonged exposure to such fine mist particles can also cause skin irritation and other contact-related issues.
Larger Particles (5-20 microns): Larger particles generally settle quickly on surfaces, making floors, machinery, and workbenches slippery and hazardous. Although these are less likely to penetrate deep into the lungs, they still pose a risk of eye irritation, skin contact hazards, and workplace safety issues due to slippery floors.
Respiratory Health Risks: Inhalation of oil and coolant mist particles can cause both acute and long-term respiratory problems. Workers exposed to these fine particles may experience symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Over time, exposure may increase the risk of more serious conditions like asthma and lung damage.
Skin and Eye Irritation: Mist particles can settle on the skin and cause contact dermatitis, a common occupational skin disease. Workers may experience redness, itching, and even rashes. Mist exposure to the eyes can result in irritation, dryness, and blurred vision.
Increased Risk of Slips and Falls: Larger mist particles settle on floors and machinery, creating a greasy layer that can make surfaces slippery. This increases the risk of slips, trips, and falls, a leading cause of workplace accidents and injuries in industrial settings.
Long-Term Health Implications: Prolonged exposure to coolant mist has been associated with serious long-term health issues, including an increased risk of certain cancers due to the presence of mineral oils in some coolants. The accumulation of oil mist particles in the lungs over time can also lead to chronic respiratory illnesses and reduced lung function.
Decreased Air Quality: Airborne mist particles reduce indoor air quality, which can impact productivity and lead to poor working conditions. Employees exposed to substandard air quality may suffer from fatigue, reduced alertness, and an overall decrease in workplace comfort.
Installing a mist collector system in CNC machining environments is essential to capture and filter out oil and coolant mist particles effectively. High-efficiency mist collectors can remove a wide range of particle sizes, protecting workers from harmful exposure and maintaining a safer, cleaner work environment. These systems help improve air quality, reduce respiratory and skin risks, and minimize slipping hazards, creating a healthier and more productive workplace for CNC operators and other personnel.Oil mist fumes is fine micro particles generated when oil reach a high temperature and it evaporates to fume condition.The size of the oil mist depends on the conditions of the heating during the machining operation. It size between 0.1 m to 3 m, and returns to the original oil when it condenses by filtration and cooling process.
Cleantek Electrostatic Oil Mist Collector is designed to extract the fumes from individual machine or in combination with 2 or 3 centralized CNC wet machines. Our Mist Collector completely suck the mist and smoke inside the machine and it will be filtered various filtration stages. Filters are designed to change and easy to clean quickly. Filtered oil or coolant returned to oil sump.Our mist collector ensures increased productivity and morale improves by providing a cleaner hygienic working environment.

Industry: Engine Valve Manufacturing
Location: Trichy, Tamil Nadu, India
A Trichy-based engine valve manufacturing company operates numerous CNC machines for their high-precision production. These CNC machines rely heavily on oil and coolant during machining processes. However, the operations resulted in significant coolant mist generation, which led to:
The company approached Cleantek for a solution to mitigate the harmful effects of coolant mist and create a safer work environment. Cleantek's team conducted a comprehensive study of the facility, assessing the type and volume of mist particles generated during operations. Based on this analysis, Cleantek recommended and installed the MCE300 Electrostatic Oil Mist Collector.
The MCE300 is designed to capture and filter ultra-fine mist particles, ensuring clean air circulation in industrial spaces. Its advanced electrostatic technology efficiently collects oil and coolant mist, preventing their dispersion in the workspace.
Initially, the company installed a few MCE300 units to evaluate performance. Impressed with the results, they scaled up the installation to over 25 units across their facility.
Key benefits observed:
“We are extremely happy with the performance of Cleantek's MCE300 oil mist collectors. Their solution not only resolved our coolant mist issue but also contributed to a safer and more productive work environment. We now have over 25 units installed and strongly recommend Cleantek for industrial air filtration needs.”
Cleantek MCE300 electrostatic oil mist collector has become a critical component of the company’s CNC operations. By prioritizing air quality and worker safety, the client has set a benchmark for workplace standards in the manufacturing industry.
