Kitagawa Europe appointed Scandmist agent

The Salisbury, Hamps-based company is now the agent for Scandmist’s complete product range of products. Developed to remove neat oil, oil emulsion mist and smoke, as well as other contaminants such as micro swarf, bacteria and mould spores from the workshop environment, Scandmist units achieve better than 99.95 per cent separation of particles down to 0.3 microns diameter. At the heart of each unit is a three-stage filtration process that outperforms traditional centrifugal and ionised element filters to produce clean air exceeding all international Health & Safety standards. Suitable for round-the-clock operation, Scandmist units enable separated oil to be returned to the machine tool for re-use. The system’s high efficiency filters require no cleaning and typically can be employed for more than two years before replacement. Through its collaboration with Swedish-based Scandfilter, Kitagawa Europe can offer advise on model selection to machine tool importers and Original Equipment Manufacturers, as well as conduct on-site oil mist surveys and risk assessments, provide full installation services and customer after sales support. The company can also provide bespoke units and complete oil mist removal systems tailored to users’ individual operating requirements.
