Combustible materials such as buffing lint, paper, wood, metal dusts, weld fume, or flammable
coolants or solvents represent potential fire and/or explosion hazards. Use special care when
selecting, installing, and operating all dust, fume, or mist collection equipment when such combustible
materials may be present in order to protect workers and property from serious injury or damage due to a
fire and/or explosion.
Consult and comply with all National and Local Codes related to fire and/or explosion properties of
combustible materials when determining the location and operation of all dust, fume, or mist collection
equipment.
Standard Donaldson Torit equipment is not equipped with fire extinguishing or explosion protection systems.

Description
Centrifugal Mist Collectors are compact, high efficiency,
centrifugal mist collection systems designed to collect,
filter, and reclaim liquid mist generated in machine tool
or process operations. The compact size allows direct
machine mounting which integrates the collection
system directly to the mist-generating machine or
process. Four stages of filtration provide effective indoor
air pollution control.
Optional prefilters, impingers, and afterfilters provide
additional filtration. Prefilters are used to remove chips
or solid particles before they enter the rotating drum and
impingers remove heavy sprays of raw fluids. Optional
HEPA afterfilters, available in standard and high-capacity
sizes, remove smoke generated in a machine process
while carbon afterfilters remove gas vapor and odors.
Centrifugal Mist Collectors are intended for separation
of various liquid droplets and particulates. It is not a
dust collector and should not be used to filter solid
particulate. The mist collector is designed to filter
mild amounts of smoke of an oily nature or smoke
mixed with oil mist. Typical applications include chip-
generating operations such as screw and bar machines,
CNC turning and milling machines, and applications
using straight oil coolants. Some applications such as
grinding, especially those with heavy metal-removal
rates, can cause a buildup of grinding swarf or other
solid particulate. Using a prefilter trap is strongly
recommended to extend the maintenance cycle of the
mist collector in these operations.
The collector must be sized to the application or filtration
will not be effective. Too little airflow will not draw the
contaminant into the filter and too much airflow may
result in the unit picking up large or heavy solid particles
increasing the frequency of maintenance or filter
replacement.
Purpose and Intended Use
Misuse or modification may result
in severe personal injury and/or
property damage.
Do not misuse or modify.
