Telford based oil mist filters manufacturer, Filtermist Limited, will be launching three brand-new products on Stand C13, Hall 11 at EMO 2025 in Hannover in September.
The first new product, ‘F Save’, has been developed to reduce energy consumption on Filtermist units used on machines which aren’t always operational. Filtermist MD, René Joppi elaborates; “Our research and our customers’ feedback showed that some machines are only operational for around 30% of the working day. If the Filtermist unit is kept running the whole time the machine is switched on, whether it’s needed or not, this means energy is being used unnecessarily. Not only does this waste valuable resources and contribute to the customer’s carbon footprint - it also costs money!
“We’ve developed a smart system that involves attaching a sensor to the machine’s coolant pump which sends a signal to the F Save ‘Hub’. The Hub then switches the Filtermist unit off if the pump isn’t running. Our data shows that with this new smart system customers can reduce their energy usage by up to 80%! In these cases, payback can be achieved in as little as just over 3 months.
“F Save does not require any electrical interfacing with the machine tool which makes it extremely simple to set up. It also prevents machine operators from accidentally overriding the mist extraction, meaning people are always protected from exposure to harmful airborne oil mist particles.”
Filtermist will also be introducing a brand-new oil mist filter developed in conjunction with Swedish sister company Absolent AB. The new unit has been specifically designed to effectively capture large volumes of submicron particles generated in applications that use neat oil.
“This latest offering from Absolent Air Care Group combines over 80 years of oil mist filtration expertise from Absolent and Filtermist, packaged in a compact, lightweight, energy efficient, plug and play unit which is designed to be machine-mounted,” comments Graeme Bell, Filtermist’s Global Commercial Director. “This is a very interesting addition to the Group’s product portfolio and we are excited to be showing it on our stand at EMO.”
The Filtermist booth will also include a brand new portable, modular stand designed for a variety of extraction requirements. “The new low-level stand can easily be moved around and makes servicing and maintenance simple. It’s also ideal for grinding applications as it can be specified with a cyclone pre-filter to remove swarf before it enters the Filtermist unit,” says Graeme. “The stand has removable panels which offers customers a choice of aesthetics, and if a customer has machines which are only used occasionally it means the extraction unit can be shared across different workstations.”
