The
Nex FlowTM Frigid-XTM Sub Zero VortexTM Tool Cooling Mist System, is a unique patent pending mist unit designed to improve machining operations requiring cooling and/or lubrication when dry machining cannot alone be used. Unlike mist systems that supply liquid which is not cooled, or more costly systems that cool the liquid, the simple design of the
Sub Zero VortexTM Tool Cooling Mist System, supplies and cools the liquid to as low as 40 degrees F (5 degrees C) using a small vortex tube without any additional pumping system. The result is a low cost and essentially maintenance free system that supplies cold liquid reducing the mist volume by as much as 20%, thus enhancing the environment and safety and reducing the cost of coolant or lubricant.
The liquid is cooled by means of a small vortex tube that uses around 5 SCFM (142 SLPM) at a maximum of 50 psig (3.5 bar). An adjusting screw controls the level of mist required. Liquid is siphoned into the unit using a long plastic tube connected to the main unit. A heavy duty removable magnet secures the Sub-Zero Tool Cooling Mist System onto a machine. The magnet can be removed and mounting holes may be used to secure the mist system. No electrical components, no expensive pumps or moving parts except for the adjusting screw assures long life and maintenance free operation.
Sub-Zero Vortex Advantages:
. No electricity required – simplicity in design
. low cost
. reduces coolant/lubricant cost using by less fluid
. improves safety with less mist
. no moving parts except for an adjusting screw for the fluid
.small and lightweight, portable
. maintenance free operation
Sub-Zero Vortex Applications:
. Solid Carbide End Mills
. Wherever lubrication is required in machining
. When cooling is required beyond the capability of cold air alone
