OIL MIST COLLECTOR | HEALTH BULLETIN

"OM-1" Oil Mist Eliminators Collect
Coolant Mists, Lubricant Mists, Smoke

A major midwest metalworking facility uses 24 OM-1 Mist Eliminators to collect oil mists from
over 200 sources, including grinding, dressing, CNC machining, lathes and heat treating
operations.  OM-1's ability to accommodate smoke gives it an advantage over centrifugal-type
oil mist collectors, which are not usable for smoke.

Both soluble and non-soluble oils are used;  OM-1 collects oil mists from all lubricants
and coolants, including mineral oils, synthetic lubricants and semi-synthetic lubricants,
at 99%+ efficiencies.

One OM-1 unit can duct to up to 12 mist sources.  Systems have 3-4 stages.  Stage 1 uses
a 13-layer mesh filter media, and reduces mist loading.  Operation is at 4"  to 5½" of
pressure across the unit;  mist removal is 99%+ at three microns.  Stage 2 is the coalescing
stage, where smaller droplets are "grown";  a 16-layer filter achieves 99%+ efficiency at
3 microns.  This oil mist performance rating is higher than for centrifugal collectors,
indexing fabric filter systems and electrostatic precipitators.

Gages at the first and second stages monitor static pressures across the filter pads and
initiate a wash-down cycle when the set point is reached.  Stage 3 uses six filter layers for
final mist elimination.  A fourth stage, using proprietary renewable media, is used for heat
treating and other applications emitting smoke.  Filter cartridges are easily removed and
cleaned without interrupting operation.

OM-1 uses a low pressure design that minimizes energy use.  The system is "HVAC-neutral"
and exhausts clean air back into the plant, reducing make-up air, and minimizing heating and
cooling costs.

OM-1 Oil Mist Eliminators are 500 to 60,000 cfm and are low noise.

The link between coolant mist exposure and disease is well-established. 
By capturing oil mists, worker health is enhanced while the risk of fire from
petroleum-based lubricants is reduced. Click here to read a health bulletin.
