Top Q: What are the main differences between the MistBuster and the “Fog Pig” that I keep hearing about?
(note: we have chosen not to use the direct trademark name of this particular mist collector… if you don’t get it, give us a call and we’ll give you more obvious hints). A: First of all, the MistBuster is machine mounted so that it is not exposed to the airborne dust and dirt that mixes with the mist on background EAC systems. Once the cell collects dust and oil, drainage is less fluid. The “Fog Pig” has to be cleaned much more frequently than the MistBuster to maintain its efficiency. Secondly, the MistBuster has 4 of mechanical impingement as compared to most EACs that have only a 1 prefilter. This keeps most of the large mist droplets and metal chips and turnings out of the main EAC. Finally, the variable speed controller allows the MistBuster to run the minimum amount of airflow to create negative pressure. This is the main feature in creating a long maintenance interval. This also has a dramatic effect on efficiency.
