Abstract

A demister apparatus for machine tools having an enclosure booth for confining mist in which a varying outflow of air is drawn from the booth and directed to a remote demister apparatus from a minimum when the access doors to the enclosure are closed to a maximum when one or more of the doors are opened. The air flow may also be varied with the number of machine tools in operation as well with the state of filters in the remote demister apparatus. A cyclonic separator is also provided adjacent to the booth which functions well in a vertical up flow mode over a range of air outflow rates of flow.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 61 / 913,553 filed on Dec. 9, 2013.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] In automated machining of parts such as engine components, the machining takes place at machine stations, each station enclosed to form a booth. A coolant / lubricant liquid is sprayed onto the part during the machining operations in order to reduce friction and cool the part.

[0003] This spraying creates a fine mist which is intended to be confined within the booth in order to prevent the mist from being dispersed into the air within the plant, where it could be inhaled by plant personnel and present a health hazard. Also, the mist can condense onto adjacent surfaces, creating a maintenance burden.

[0004] Oil in the coolant / lubricant can also evaporate from the mist into the air and create an air pollution problem.

[0005] In order to minimize this effect, the conventional practice has been to constantly d...
