Maintain your industrial purifiers with HIFI FILTER®.

At the heart of metal processing plants, machine tools dedicated to turning, milling, grinding, drilling, threading, etc. are in daily use. The use of whole oils and/or emulsions is essential to their smooth operation. During metal machining, these oils lubricate and protect the contact surfaces between the workpieces and the cutting tools. They also maintain the machined parts at a stable temperature and evacuate the swarf, thereby extending the life of the cutting tools and improving the surface finish. However, their use generates oil mist, which is harmful to operators and the surrounding environment.

During metal machining, friction between cutting tools and workpieces generates heat. To prevent overheating, a cutting fluid is injected. However, the thermal shock caused by the temperature difference forms a mist of ultra-volatile micro-particles of the cutting fluid, more commonly known as oil mist.
An oil mist is made up of a multitude of droplets. Each droplet measures less than 40µm and is imperceptible to the naked eye. They are nonetheless harmful to operators, machine tools and the environment. In the workshop, particles can cause respiratory and dermatological problems in workers. The risk of workplace accidents following a fall also increases because the floor has become slippery. Similarly, this soiling of the plant impairs the precision of machine tools and leads to an increase in maintenance operations, resulting in additional costs for production sites.

To minimise risks in your plant and protect your operators, the use of an oil mist scrubber is essential. These devices treat the oil mists and fumes generated during metal machining. They capture the droplets in the air, group them together and then reinject the purified lubricant into the machine tool. In this way, clean air can be discharged into the workshop or outside.
As well as recycling oil, installing an oil mist scrubber has a number of advantages. Firstly, it creates a healthy environment for workers by effectively capturing harmful particles. By eliminating these residues, a scrubber also increases the availability and lifespan of equipment. Finally, by installing a scrubber, you will be complying with current environmental standards, thereby preserving your plant's reputation.

Regardless of the type of purifier or its configuration, filters play an essential role, and replacing them is even more crucial to ensuring that your equipment runs smoothly.
