Removing oil mist issues

Growth had prompted investment in new CNC machinery and increased use of coolant. The company was running its 18 CNC machines continuously and oil mist had increased, leaving traces of residue on the overhead gantry cranes. 

Filtermist undertook an onsite assessment of the oil mist extraction requirements and specified a solution. 

A total of 14 Filtermist’s FX centrifugal oil mist extraction systems were installed over five days. The engineers used different mounting options, including extendable floor stands and wall brackets, depending on what was best suited to the location, application and size of machine.  

Formaplex reports a significant improvement in air quality and there is no longer a haze across the roof of the facility, or traces of residue in the air or on the equipment.
