oil mist collector /eliminator for clean air
TRANSCRIPT
Philosophy
•Offer unique technology
•Separate majority of fluid without filters
•Quickly drain fluid to reduce evaporation
•Clean air must approach zero emissions
•Low maintenance
•Low life cycle costs
•Customer must always be 100% satisfied
Clean Air will Approach Zero Mist
Oil Mist Limits
OSHA < 5.0 mg/m³
Recommended < 0.5 mg/m³
NIOSH < 0.4 mg/m³ (time weighted average over 8 hrs)
Most companies with H&S and
unions are using limit
< 0.5 mg/m³
HEPA Filters for Clean Air
• With HEPA clean air can be
<0.020 mg/m³
• Without HEPA most eliminators
are above 0.5 mg/m³ and don’t
remove smoke, steam or
bacteria
• Fine mist & bacteria is the major
cause of health problems

Steam vs Smoke
Steam – Cutting tool temp > 212ºF
Smoke – Cutting tool temp > 300ºF
Look at chips
- Blue chips – steam
- Brown chips – smoke
High tramp oils in coolant increases smoke

Sizing Guidelines
• Machines with low mist generation, infrequent door opening:-
Enclosure volume (ft³) x 2 to 3 = cfm
• Machines with medium mist generation, average door opening:-
Enclosure volume (ft³) x 4 to 5 = cfm
• Machines with high mist/smoke generation & frequent door
opening
Enclosure volume (ft³) x 6 to 10 = cfm
• For enclosures with open areas add :- 75 – 200 cfm per ft².
• Hoods :- 75 – 200 cfm/ft²
• Note: the factor number used is the number of air exchanges per
minute. Example 4 :- 4 per minute or every 15 seconds.

2nd stage Aggomerator Depth Filter
2nd Stage Filter Options
1- Permanent media filter • 10 – 15 years
• Excellent on coolant
• Can add wrap for fine mist applications.
• Optional On-Line-Cleaning system
No competitor comes close to the
life service of this filter.
Permanent 2nd Stage Filter
Air Flow
Drainage
Made in Layers (8)
SS wire mesh weaved with fibers
Excellent drainage.
Difficult to blind.
Durable/long life, 10 - 15 years
Can be cleaned.
Fine fiber layer.
Larger fibers provides channel for
drainage.
2nd Stage Filter Wrap
• For oil and fine mist applications
• Single wrap – fine coolant or cast iron
• Double wrap - oil
• Will reduce air flow 100 – 200 cfm
On-Line Cleaning System
Optional:
Flushes out congealed concentrates
and solids from 2nd stage filter.
Flush every 1-4 months with coolant
or water.
Shut-off fan motor, open manual flush
valve for 5-15 minutes.
Coolant or water flows back to sump.
Note: on 98% of applications, filter
stays clean w/o cleaning for 4 yrs or
more.
