Filtermist announces a new era in oil mist filtration with new range launch
Filtermist has announced the launch of a new range of oil mist filters. The AW Series is designed to offer a compact, easy to use solution for customers with machining applications that use neat oil at high-pressures, as well as high-precision operations. These applications often generate large volumes of sub-micron mist particles, which can be difficult to capture.
The product line has been developed with ease of use at its core; pre-configured set-ups and single-phase supply mean the units can start extracting as soon as they are switched on.
Built-in LED lights make it easy for operators to monitor the filter's performance, and easily accessible filter cassettes make maintenance simple.
"The AW Series is a result of an extensive collaboration with our sister company, Absolent AB," explained Rene Joppi, Managing Director of Filtermist. "We have combined Absolent's top of the market filtration technology with the key proposition our customers around the world value - efficient performance in a compact and lightweight unit, designed to be machine mounted."
The AW Series from Filtermist contains models for different pollution levels, based on three main airflow variants - 250m3/hr, 500m3/hr and 800m3/hr. All variants currently include a final HEPA filter stage.
Units start at just 24kg and thanks to its patented and proven Catch&Release technology, the company can ensure 8,760 hours of continuous, maintenance-free operation. That's the equivalent of one full year of non-stop, 24/7 production.
The AW is made from robust glass-fibre reinforced plastic with an aluminium base. Four inlets mean customers can choose the best connection point for their specific requirements.
"Ensuring the units are as lightweight as possible was also a key priority throughout the development project, and offering customers flexibility was vital," continued Joppi.
"As a result, the AW Series is extremely easy to install, use, monitor and maintain. Using Absolent's filtration technology as its core, we are providing a solution that has proven to be reliable for more than 30 years, and the compact nature of the product means it is an affordable alternative to larger, floor-standing extraction units."
He went on to add: "Energy efficiency was also at the top of the agenda during the development of the AW Series. All models in the new range benefit from EC motors with EcoDrive, which continuously adjusts the airflow to the demands of the process - cutting power consumption and keeping extraction performance stable."
