Filtermist to launch ‘Direct Filtration’ at MACH 2014

The Direct Filtration brand will focus specifically on selling the company's range of filters and filter rolls to UK customers. This includes filter rolls and media for gravity, vacuum, pressure and hydrostatic systems, which are used in applications including grinding, honing, lapping, cutting, industrial washing, phosphating, galvanising and hot and cold metal rolling. Filtermist will also be showcasing the introduction of IE3 motors to its FX range of centrifugal filtration and extraction equipment. The company says that fitting IE3 motors offers users the peace of mind that comes from knowing they are doing everything in their power to reduce energy consumption. IE3 motors will be fitted to all Filtermist FX units from 1 April 2014. Products and services from Swedish parent company, Absolent AB, will also be on show, including the latest addition to its range of dust, fume and oil smoke extraction equipment, the compact A•smoke5 oil smoke filter. The A•smoke5 is a machine-mountable filter unit designed specifically for removing high quantities of sub-micron oil smoke produced by manufacturing processes common in the medical industry and other micro-machining sectors. According to Filtermist, it has a highly efficient EC-fan and integrated airflow control which ensures that the filter unit consumes a relatively small amount of energy and compensates for changes in the system. This allows the filter unit to maintain the correct airflow level throughout the production cycle for the lifetime of the filter. MACH 2014 - Birmingham NEC, 7-11 April
