Uni-Mist Continuous Spray System
Micro-Fluidization Products

The Mist Advantage

Mist cooling Is necessary for a variety of reasons. Wherever friction occurs in machining, tool life is cut short and down time for sharpening or replacement is extended. Burning, warping and discoloring of parts also present a problem. A Uni-MIST system applied at the tool-to-workpiece interface will reduce heat build-up and show the benefits of higher productivity and decreased part re-working and down time. Chips are also removed more rapidly by pressure than by flood cooling, so the tool spends less time recutting those chips

The Pressurized Advantage

Uni-MIST spray systems are all pressurized systems (normally 15-30psi). Uni-MIST moves the coolant/lubricant to the nozzle tip under pressure where an internal mix occurs. Variable amounts of compressed air and liquid enable many degrees of atomization.

Because of the wide range in Uni-MIST controls, the fluid composition is not of critical importance and most any viscosity fluid may be sprayed. Fine atomization of water solubles will optimize the cooling effects of water evaporation. Straight oils may be sprayed by using only enough air to carry the particles to the point of application.

Uni-MIST systems are often used to replace flood systems because of the reduction in air-born mist particles that are generated in high speed machining operations.

Recommended Uses

External spraying is recommended for machining operations using higher tool RPM’s or rapid stock feeding. Uni-MIST continuous spray systems are presently employed in all metalworking operations including both metal cutting and metal forming. Some of these operations include:

TURNING
BROACHING
MILLING
GRINDING
BORING
STAMPING
SAWING
SHEARING
DRILLING
FORM ROLLING
SWAGING
and many others

Uni-MIST systems are used on all metals, exotic metals, and some plastics.

Automatic Operation

With the inclusion of a Uni-MIST solenoid or air pilot valve, the system will automatically shut down or resume with the tool’s regular operation. Valves control both air and liquid shut-off and operate Instantaneously when a signal is supplied. Both valves have the capability to control up to 6 simultaneously in-use nozzles.
Quality-built aluminum and brass construction can stand up to years of continuous operation
