Mistic mist cooling spray system – flow and pressure from low to high with 2 thumbscrew adjustment – made in Rockford, IL
Mistic Mist Systems are considered the most efficient mist systems for a cooling spray.
The compressed air passing through the valve body and to the nozzle tip creates a vacuum in the liquid line which draws coolant from the tank. The coolant is instantly vaporized and forms a conical mist pattern. At the same time, the compressed air expands absorbing heat surrounding the tool and work piece. The result is a cooling effect as well as lubrication. Click here to learn more: Mist systems.
