Compact body Built-in Mist Collector "zeroFOG"

Creating a Clean Work Environment

DMG MORI CO., LTD. (hereinafter called DMG MORI) has developed and is now offering its mist collector "zeroFOG", an efficient product to collect mist generated during metal machining and ensure a clean factory environment.

In recent years, a growing number of manufacturers have been introducing automation systems to their factories, in pursuit of efficient production, sustained product quality and a better work environment. One of the common issues among customers with automation systems is the mist generated from scattered coolant during metal machining.

"Mist" here indicates fine particulate coolant floating in the air. It is generated when coolant is sprayed and scattered during machining or when coolant is evaporated by machining heat. Oil contained in mist can cause machining accuracy and factory environments to deteriorate, while also being dangerous to operators' health. Consequently, a mist collector for mist removal and exhaustion of clean air can be an important asset inside factories. Apart from decreasing the risk of equipment failure, a mist collector also maintains an eco-friendly and green environment. For those reasons, the needs for high-performance mist collectors are increasing along with the rising needs for automation systems.

"zeroFOG" is equipped with a sophisticated final filter that meets the HEPA filter standards of collecting over 99.97% of 0.30μm fine particles. It reliably catches the fine mist generated during machining, thus creating a clean factory environment. Its compact body and excellent shape was realized by a hydrodynamically optimal design. No installation space is needed as the filter can be built into a machine tool. "zeroFOG" comes with an automatic cleaning function for the primary filter, thereby exceling in maintainability. More efficient saving of maintenance time and cost compared to conventional mist collectors makes "zeroFOG" a truly energy-saving and eco-friendly product, therefore a contributor to the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).
