Top Q: What are the main differences of using the MistBuster vs. a centrifugal mist collector?
Centrifugal mist elimination involves a high velocity / high energy process where the impeller accelerates large drops and the inertial separation and impaction removes large drops. Centrifugals have been known for not being able to collect smoke or fine droplets. It actually creates fine droplets by breaking up large drops in the high energy acceleration process that causes a very high siren like screech. Centrifugal mist eliminators require frequent cleaning to remove accumulated mist and dust that causes impeller imbalance. Imbalanced impellers cause machine tool vibration and loss of precision and frequent cleaning and maintenance is required to avoid imbalance. Centrifugals can also take upwards of 2100 watts to operate.
