SO.TEC plants and machining: coalescence for fumes and oil mist treatment
Mechanical operations with machine tools produce fumes and oil mist that are harmful to humans and the environment. It‘s important to provide appropriate filtration plants to protect workers and the environment.
The mechanical operations are mostly carried out by automatic machines with tools lubrificated with oil or oil emulsion. During these phases of the production fumes, oil mist and chemicals are generated. The fumes coming from machine tools must be treated, aspirated and filtered before the emission.
To ensure that workers operate safely and to comply with legal requirements in the field of air purification it is necessary to equip your production department with a reliable air purification system. For that reason starting from 1995 SO.TEC introduced also into the mechanical sector the coalescence technology for the treatment and filtration of oil mist, installing several centralized and little plants in Italy and abroad.
SO.TEC plans and delivers to the mechanical sector different types of suction and filtration systems to treat fumes and oil mist:
- MINI-MAX plants: maximum filtration efficiency with a very small footprint and a suction flow rate ranging from 500 to 8.000 m3 / h (the filters are installed both inside and outside of the production department).
- MINI-MAX PLUS AND WITH A VERTICAL LAY-OUT: maximum filtration efficiency with a very small footprint and a suction flow rate that varies from 8.000 to 15.000 m3 / h (the filters are installed both inside and outside the production department).
- SUPERCOMPACT plants: state of the art filtration systems, compact size and large air flow rate. (≥ 20.000 m3 / h). Filters are usually installed outside the production department.
Thanks to this coalescence plants, the separation efficiency of the oil mist is very high:
- 99.99% for particle sizes greater than 1.0 micron;
- 99.00% for particle sizes greater than 0.5 microns;
- 95.00% for particle sizes greater than 0.2 microns.
In mechanical operations the advantages of SO.TEC plants compared to other technologies are:
- Top level in the air depuration;
- Emission levels near to 0 for what concerns the total oil and dust content in the emission (guarantee: ≤ 3 mg/m3, expected values ≤ 1 mg/m3);
- Very low maintenance in the long period: life guarantee of the coalescence filter elements: 7-10 years;
- Very high separation efficiency also for submicronic particles (0,2 μ);
- Constant efficiency of the sistem in the long period without maintenance;
- Energy efficiency.
