Oil mist control for machine tools
1 min read
FOX IFS has introduced a new and innovative line of oil mist collectors for machine tools. Lift Hold & Separate is the UK agent.
Specifically developed for the elimination of mist, vapour, smoke and odours typical of wet machining operations, these mechanical filters (CE marked) can also be employed in mixed application (wet/dry) and for EDM machines.
With 5 sizes, ranging from 250 to 2000 m3/h, the WS line is characterised by a high level of reliability, sophisticated design and compact dimensions.
1st Stage - Initial Pre-Filtration - A special cartridge, composed of 3 different stages (one of them washable) with progressive filtration levels grants a 92% efficiency level. It's main characteristics are the high capability of accumulating particles and the slow and efficient draining effect.
2nd Stage - Intermediate Centrifugal - A special impeller ensures the centrifugal effect that enables the continuous discharge of recondensed particles.
3rd Stage - Final Filtration - Extended filtration area. Made of fibreglass, provides an average filtration efficiency above 99% (measured accordingly to AFNOR NFX 44-060 norm). Clogging is monitored by a pressure gauge that clearly indicates when the cartridge must be replaced.
For special applications there is the possibility to install an additional filtration module that perfectly fits on the unit. The module can either contain an absolute Hepa H13 (99.95% MPPS according to EN 1822) filter for the elimination of dry smoke or activated carbon cells for the elimination of odours.
