Maximize the Benefits of Clean Air with the ExoMist HPMC Series Mist Collectors
National Machine Products understands the importance of maintaining a safe and efficient work environment. The ExoMist HPMC Series Mist Collectors are designed to provide numerous benefits to CNC machine shops, including reducing maintenance and downtime, ensuring overall shop safety, and protecting employee health – ExoMist calls this “ Cleaner Productivity “.
Reducing Maintenance and Downtime with ExoMist HPMC Series Mist Collectors
CNC machines without proper mist collectors can lead to recurring maintenance issues, soiling critical components including fans, circuit boards, control panels, cooling system filters, and tooling parts. The ExoMist HPMC Series Mist Collectors are designed to reduce these maintenance needs and downtime.
Oil mist can damage circuit boards, clog cooling system filters, the spindle, and seep into the coolant pump systems, creating bacteria that deteriorate seals on the motor pumps. It can also clog filters and coils in the shop’s HVAC system, leading to high energy costs and frequent filter replacement. By controlling oil mist effectively with our mist collectors, you can reduce the need for maintenance and keep production on schedule, saving money on replacement filters, parts and technician visits.
Ensuring General Shop Safety with ExoMist HPMC Series Mist Collectors
These mist collectors also contribute to overall shop safety. Even in enclosed CNC machines, oil mist can escape when opening the door while loading raw materials and removing finished parts or escaping out the conveyor. This oil mist can land on nearby surfaces around a machine shop, including walls, counters, floors, and lighting, creating a need for additional housekeeping and potentially creating slip and fire hazards. The ExoMist HPMC Series Mist Collectors help to prevent these safety and insurance concerns.
Protecting Employee Health with ExoMist HPMC Series Mist Collectors
Exposure to oil mist can lead to health issues, including skin conditions and respiratory irritations. These mist collectors help to protect employee health by reducing exposure to oil mist. As an added result, your employees will be happier, and retention will only increase.
Meeting Legal Requirements with ExoMist HPMC Series Mist Collectors
Employers are legally required to restrict employee exposure to oil mist. The ExoMist HPMC Series Mist Collectors help you meet these legal requirements, as they are designed to meet and exceed OSHA and NIOSH guidelines.
