Industrial Oil Mist Filtration: Reduce Downtime & Improve IAQ
A practical introduction to industrial oil mist filtration for manufacturers — how ESP and mechanical stages reduce downtime, protect machines and improve indoor air quality (IAQ).
Industrial Oil Mist Filtration: Reduce Downtime & Improve IAQ
Oil mist and aerosolised coolant degrade indoor air quality (IAQ), foul machines and floors, and increase call‑outs. " "A bankable combination of pre‑filtration, ESP and optional HEPA delivers clean air with minimal pressure drop.
Where oil mist comes from
CNC machining, grinding and forming processes using oils or soluble coolants.
High‑speed operations that aerosolise fluids into sub‑micron particles.
System building blocks
Pre‑filters for bulk contaminant and swarf.
ESP modules (fan or fanless) for fine aerosols at low ΔP.
HEPA where very fine particulate limits or recirculation standards apply.
Drain/collection for recovered oil.
Integration tips
Size for capture at source (hoods) or for general room recirculation as needed.
Use BMS or machine I/O for run/fault signals and interlocks.
Plan access for safe cleaning without long stoppages.
Service plan
Routine wash of cells and pre‑filters controls ΔP and keeps energy down.
Log maintenance for insurance and H&S records.
