Filtermist Limited has announced the launch of a new, ground-breaking 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 René 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 René.
“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.”
Established in Shropshire in 1969, Filtermist’s ethos is to protect people by ensuring cleaner, safer, more productive working environments.
The company, part of the Swedish Absolent Air Care Group, provides an extensive range of products and services designed to ensure the air in production facilities is free from contaminants such as oil mist, oil smoke, dust, fume and VOCs.
It is best known for manufacturing a range of compact, quiet and efficient oil mist filters which are trusted by world leading manufacturers in more than 60 countries.
“We believe that all industrial workplaces should have access to mist extraction which is easy to use, reliable and affordable,” said René.
“The new AW Series means we can now offer this to an even wider range of customers than ever before, marking a new era for Filtermist globally.”
