Nederman cleans the machine shop with Filtac OMF units

Nederman has launched its latest Filtac series of extraction units for oil mist and smoke. Based around the patent-pending FibreDrain technology, the Filtac OMF range of units has been designed for continuous operation on turning, milling and grinding machine tools.

Oil mist is comprised of liquid droplets generally up to 20 micron in size, whereas high speed machining can generate mist drops that form a liquid smoke with droplets measuring less than 1 micron. Nederman’s FibreDrain technology has been developed to capture these extremely small droplets.

Comprising six models, the OMF range offers an airflow from 1,000 to 6,000 m³/h with an inlet diameter that extends from 150 to 400 mm diameter. Available as a free-standing vertical design that sits alongside a machine tool or as a horizontal system for mounting upon a machine, the OMF has the option of two or three filter stages.
