Designed for oil mist, smoke, and coolant applications, MistBuster® systems deliver high-efficiency performance, low maintenance, and precise control in a compact, durable package that keeps your operation clean and efficient.
Superior Efficiency
MistBuster® captures what other systems miss. Its advanced multi-stage filtration removes mist and smoke from water-soluble, synthetic, and petroleum-based metalworking fluids, far beyond the capabilities of centrifugal collectors. The result is cleaner air, improved operator health, and a safer, more productive work environment.
Economical Operation
Operate efficiently without the cost of disposable filters. MistBuster® units maintain strong airflow with low energy consumption, reducing both maintenance and long-term operating costs. The durable design ensures consistent performance and long service life, providing lasting value over time.
Precision Airflow Control
Every MistBuster® features a variable speed controller for precise management of airflow and negative pressure inside machine tool enclosures. This flexibility helps you match performance to production needs, saving energy, reducing sound levels, and minimizing maintenance.
Premium Blower Design
MistBuster® uses a dynamically balanced, high-quality motorized impeller that runs smoother and more efficiently than conventional blowers. Its compact design eliminates vibration, protecting your equipment and maintaining consistent machining accuracy.

Does AQE offer other industrial mist collectors besides the MistBuster®?
Yes. Air Quality Engineering offers a full range of technologies for oil, coolant mist, and smoke removal. However, we strongly recommend the MistBuster® 500 mist collector because it provides the best overall solution for most machining applications, not because it is the only solution we offer.
What makes the MistBuster® a better choice than other mist collectors?
The MistBuster® series combines advanced multi-stage filtration, low energy consumption, and precision airflow control for unmatched performance. Each system removes oil mist, smoke, and coolant aerosols at the source while maintaining quiet, efficient operation and long filter life. The result is a cleaner environment, lower maintenance costs, and greater operator safety.
