Royal Products highlights several of its products which it says can help businesses combat the ongoing manufacturing labor shortage. Two examples are the Royal Filtermist Mist Collector and Rota-Rack Parts Accumulator. These products address the labor issue in different ways — one improves employee attraction and retention rates by facilitating desirable work environments, and the other increases shop throughput by enabling unmanned production via simple automation.
The Royal Filtermist Mist Collector collects mist and smoke generated by metalworking machinery. With more than 175,000 units operating in over 50 countries worldwide, Filtermist is noted for its metalworking pollution control. Clean, safe shop air helps attract and retain employees, and Filtermist’s compact design facilitates easy installation and minimal maintenance, Royal Products says.

The Royal Rota-Rack is an automatic accumulator that can be used with any bar-fed CNC lathe to safely collect finished parts. This provides hours of unmanned production as it enables shops to run a second or third shift with existing equipment and no additional employees. Royal Products adds that on of top of increasing throughput, Rota-Rack also helps eliminate part damage and aids in quality control by keeping finished parts in sequential order for inspection purposes.
