With its patent-pending diffusion cone and dual filters, the new Amano MZ-15 Mist Collector from Vega Tool Corp. features a 99.7 percent capturing efficiency of 2µm particles. Its high-efficiency motor and low consumable costs allow the MZ-15 Mist Collector to provide the best cost-performance of any filtration style mist collector available today.
Assembled in Sparta, North Carolina, the Amano MZ-15 Mist Collectors utilize premium-efficiency, NEMA-compliant 1hp (0.75kW) motors. These motors help the MZ-15 to achieve a collection capacity of up to 460 cubic feet per minute (13 cubic meters per minute), while consuming far less energy than similarly powered models. Additionally, these motors operate at a low noise level of less than 72db.
The Amano MZ-15 Mist Collector has a compact design and can be mounted directly on virtually any machine tool. These mist collectors are ideal for a wide variety of filtering applications including machining centers, lathes, EDMs and grinding machines.
Designed for quick maintenance, filter replacement on the MZ-15 can be completed in less than a minute without tools or removing the mist extraction duct hose. Each new unit comes with two sets of primary and secondary filters, which can be washed with water and re-used to further reduce the overall operating costs.

- centers
centers
Cone-shaped pins that support a workpiece by one or two ends during machining. The centers fit into holes drilled in the workpiece ends. Centers that turn with the workpiece are called “live” centers; those that do not are called “dead” centers.
- diffusion
diffusion
1. Spreading of a constituent in a gas, liquid or solid, tending to make the composition of all parts uniform. 2. Spontaneous movement of atoms or molecules to new sites within a material.
- grinding
grinding
Machining operation in which material is removed from the workpiece by a powered abrasive wheel, stone, belt, paste, sheet, compound, slurry, etc. Takes various forms: surface grinding (creates flat and/or squared surfaces); cylindrical grinding (for external cylindrical and tapered shapes, fillets, undercuts, etc.); centerless grinding; chamfering; thread and form grinding; tool and cutter grinding; offhand grinding; lapping and polishing (grinding with extremely fine grits to create ultrasmooth surfaces); honing; and disc grinding.
