An electrostatic precipitation air cleaning system for the source collection and removal of smoke, mist and metal particle contaminants produced from machine tool coolant fluids. In the MistBuster® family of products, the system supplies a higher spindle speed and coolant pressure (600–1,500 PSI).

The MistBuster® 850 five-stage air filtration system features Air Quality Engineering, Inc.’s patented Advantage™ electronic collector cell and one or two high-efficiency electronic collector cells. The electronic collector cells provide a collection efficiency up to 99.4% on all submicron particles. An optional fifth-stage HEPA filter offers filtration efficiency up to 99.97%. Airflow is variable and controllable up to 850 CFM. Easily switch between water-soluble or oil-based machine tool coolants using Air Quality Engineering, Inc.’s patented variable voltage coolant selector A variety of mounting options are available allowing maximum versatility.

MistBuster® 850 Specifications

New! MistBuster® Patented Technology

MistBuster® is the best value for a compact, energy efficient, reliable mist collection solution.

  • High efficiency air filtration through the use of industrial grade electronic cells designed for low static pressure with ultimate efficiency up to 99.4% on all submicron particles, as measured by an independent lab test in accordance with ASHRAE standard 52.2 at 750 CFM.
  • Reliable operation based on in-depth knowledge of air filtration design, all electrical components are in a sealed compartment, isolated from the air stream and added to 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.
  • Ease of installation through direct machine mount, ceiling mount, wall mount, or floor mount via a pedestal stand.
  • Comprehensive solutions for a wide range of machining operations designed for single to multiple machine tool applications using electronic precipitation and for applications requiring it – media and odor control based systems.
  • Compact, energy efficient design drawing as little as 1.08 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.

Next Generation Technology

High Efficiency Collector Cell

Mistbuster Next Generation DiagramWhile 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.

MistBuster®‘s patented next-generation technology aims to minimize the short circuits which require the washing of the electronic filter cells through:

  • Floating ionizer contact
  • Proprietary ceramic insulator design
  • Enhanced cell end plates
  • Patented collector fin design
  • Internal cabinet “air break”
  • Patented variable voltage coolant selector

(Patents #6428611 and #7717984)
