MistBuster Family-1

Next Generation MistBuster®: 500, 500 Media, 850, 2000, Infinity Supplying Clean Air to Industry The MistBuster family of self-contained mist removal systems is designed to capture mist and smoke from metalworking applications in the industry. Air Quality Engineering’s loyal community of global users provides the continuous input needed to design new generations of mist collection solutions. Research and development focuses on meeting the demands of today’s high-speed machining operations associated with oil, water soluble or synthetic coolants, using high pressure coolant pumps on a variety of metals. The MistBuster can be direct mounted to machine tools or ducted using a flexible array of optional accessories. MistBuster is the superior alternative to conventional centrifugal and media-type systems. Its design maximizes filtration efficiency and minimizes maintenance requirements by attacking possible points of failure found with other mist collection systems. MistBuster is the best value for a compact, energy efficient, reliable mist collection solution. • High efficiency air filtration through the use of industrial • Ease of installation through direct machine grade electronic cells designed for low static pressure with mount, ceiling mount, wall mount, or floor mount ultimate efficiency up to 97.8% on all submicron particles, as measured by an independent lab test in accordance with ASHRAE standard 52.2 at 500 CFM. • Reliable operation based on in-depth knowledge of air • Comprehensive solutions for a wide range of machining operations designed for single to multiple machine tool applications using electronic precipitation filtration design, all electrical components are in a sealed and for applications requiring it – media and odor control compartment, isolated from the air stream and added to based systems. our patented AQE Advantage cell to reduce maintenance. ™ • Versatile design through a patented coolant selector switch, the MistBuster electronic line of air cleaners can handle the electronic requirements of water based or oil based coolant collection that cause other air cleaners to fail. • Compact, energy efficient design drawing as little as 1 amp under full load, and as small in size as a household microwave. Air Quality Engineering stands behind the quality of the MistBuster with a limited 36 month warranty. Air Quality Engineering, founded in 1973, is proud to offer a continued, superior level of experience in manufacturing complete air filtration systems that provide the highest performance, efficiency, and capacity for the money. Our sales and engineering team’s mission is to identify the most cost-effective, high-quality solutions for our customers’ needs, whether commercial, industrial or residential.

Next Generation Technology While electrostatic mist collectors provide a high-efficiency filtration system for mist and smoke collection, they sometimes require frequent washing of the electronic filter cell. Cell washing is required when collected contaminants cause a short circuit in the cell. Using next generation technology, individual test sites have seen service intervals increase from monthly washing, to yearly washing of the collector cells. Individual results will vary.
