The most flexible spray mist coolant system
Kool Mist manufactures spray coolant machines as well as mist or flood coolant that are flexible, and easy to use. Whether you need a mist cooling system that is portal or permanent; automatic or manual; with one or four nozzles: with one gallon or 55 gallon coolant capacity; with fixed or flexible nozzles: with nylon reinforced or metal braided hoses, or a special configuration that is reasonable to produce…our team is here to help!
Kool Mist coolant systems offer outstanding efficiency and longer tool life
Kool Mist efficiently eliminates destructive heat as fast as it is generated in the machining process. Our mist cooling system will absorb 1000 times as much heat as an equal volume of other flood coolants! Reducing heat in the milling process can doubled or triple tool life. With Kool Mist special Formula “77” coolant heavier cuts, coarser feds, faster speeds and better micro-finishes are possible—even on tough new alloys and exotic metals.
Kool Mist is safe for people, machines and parts
Kool Mist contains no halogens or sulfides and is totally free of dangerous or otherwise troublesome chemicals. It is harmless to operators and ends problems of mist fog fumes. Kool Mist will not cause corrosion, buildup, dermatitis, rancidity or objectionable odors. Properly diluted with water Kool Mist does not create rust or stains on machined parts. As a result, it sharply reduces parts spoilages, eliminates employee health claims, and precludes problems with health and environmental agencies such as OSHA, NASA, AEC, and the EPA.
Kool Mist universal coolant system improves material machinability
Kool Mist coolant works well on ferrous metals, brass, bronze, aluminum and many plastics. If you don’t own a Kool Mist system, use our unique Formula “77” or Formula “78”, coolants to get the same outstanding cooling action that keeps tools sharp and lubricated. It will not attack or react with hoses, tanks or valves. Solids do not precipitate from the solution so there is no sludge or clogging of small passages and nozzles.
Biodegradable and only cost $.03 per operating hourBiodegradable and only cost $.03 per operating hour
Both Kool Mist coolant formulas are biodegradable, greatly reducing storage and disposal concerns. Spent coolant requires no special treatment and will have no adverse environmental effect. Kool Mist comes in concentrated form, and may be diluted with water in solutions up to 32:1. One gallon therefore makes 33 gallons of mix.
