Oil Mist Collector Ducting
Oil mists and cutting fluid vapors generated from machining operations and metalworking processes present unique challenges that require specialized sealed duct systems. These airborne contaminants pose health risks to workers and can cause equipment damage through condensation, corrosion, and contamination of electronic components.
Oil mists from general industrial processes, cutting fluid vapors from machining operations, and coolant mists from automotive manufacturing all produce fine aerosols that become airborne during production. When these contaminants condense on surfaces, they create slippery conditions, leading to workplace accidents and can cause rust buildup or mold accumulation.
Condensation control is critical in oil mist applications to prevent leakage and drippage on equipment. When cold air meets warm air, water and mist accumulate on pipes, causing them to drip on circuitry and electronic components. The heat generated by machining tools combines with cutting fluids to create oil mist that must be effectively collected to prevent health and safety risks.
Collection systems for oil mists require completely sealed ductwork to prevent contaminated air from escaping and to manage condensation effectively. The captured airstream moves oil-laden air into specialized collectors that separate solid materials from the air, improving air quality.
Nordfab ducting offers specialized sealed systems for oil mist and cutting fluid collection across machine shops, automotive plants, and metal fabrication facilities.
Oil Mist Duct Parts
Oil mist collection requires sealed, corrosion-resistant ductwork components that control condensation and prevent leakage, protecting equipment, improving air quality, and ensuring safer, cleaner industrial environments.
- Oil Mist Gaskets applied at each joint
- Oil Mist O-rings and QF sleeves for variable lengths
- Ball Joints & Drains for moisture removal
- Leak-resistant seams via laser-welded pipe and caulked component joints
This sealed system approach provides excellent leak protection compared to traditional lock-form seams. The combination efficiently collects and separates cutting fluid mist, while removing moisture and preventing accumulation on machinery, creating safer working environments and protecting valuable equipment from contamination damage.
