Mist Collectors for Deep Hole Drilling Operations
Deep hole drilling generates coolant mist like few other machining operations. The high coolant pressures, often exceeding 1,000 psi (70 bar) on gun drilling machines or 500 psi (35 bar) on BTA systems, atomize the coolant into a fine aerosol that hangs in the air and settles everywhere. I’ve walked into shops where a 0.5 µm particle haze is so thick you can taste the oil. A properly sized mist collection system is not optional. ...
