Royal Products, Hauppauge, N.Y., has introduced the Filtermist FX-Series oil mist collector, the product of extensive computer-aided modeling and laboratory testing.
The Royal Filtermist is available in four sizes ranging from 275 to 1200 cfm. Its flexible design enables it to be mounted in a variety of ways, including directly to the top of a machine tool, on a stand, or suspended from a factory ceiling. Maintenance and operating costs of the Royal Filtermist are minimal.
While many companies are aware of the traditional problems associated with oil mist, (health and accident risks, cleaning and maintenance costs, etc.), few are aware that failure to adequately address mist and smoke issues often results in reduced productivity and increased machine downtime.
In addition to the obvious effects of oil mist, production is often reduced as a result of employees dialing back on feeds and speeds in order to minimize mist production. An often overlooked maintenance problem is the effect of oil mist on electrical contacts and electronic circuits.
For the past 30 years, the Royal Filtermist has been effectively collecting oil mist and smoke generated by all types of metalworking machinery. There are currently over 125,000 Filtermist units operating in over 40 countries worldwide.
