Mist Generator Systems are superior to all common methods of cooling down metalworking tooling. As design technologies advanced over the years, proper lubrication and sharp cutting tools became more critical when machining all materials, whether exotic or the old standards. They provide for :

           Since the temperature of compressed gas or air lowers as it expands, the release of pressurized air from a small orifice employs a basic refrigeration principle. This means the more air that is used and allowed to expand, and the higher the pressure, the lower the temperature becomes.

           As the water content of the coolant is evaporated, the lubricating elements remain in the work zone in concentrate form. If fed correctly, these elements penetrate to the interface of the chip and tool, where they reduce friction, and thus lower the heat.

           A factor involved in mist techniques is the conventional cooling that takes place as the water is rapidly moved from the work area by the air stream. Finally, the water content in misted coolant is instantly evaporated by the heat of the machine operation.

           To be able to gain all of these factors, one must first eliminate the flood coolant practice. The temperature will increase as more liquid is used, as in an attempt to flood with a mist generator.

           The results of directing a mist spray to the cutting edge of the tool is a cooling effect that cannot be equaled by other methods.
