The byproduct of CNC Machining can create emissions of oil or coolant mist and smoke. The build-up inside the cavities of these machines can prove troublesome to your employee's health and the overall condition of your facility. Mist and smoke are generated from the friction and the coolant agent used to protect the tool.
Typical coolant or lubrication sources include:
- synthetic coolant
- water-based emulsions
- petroleum or oil-based lubricants
Machining processes may include:
- CNC lathes
- turning centers
- machining centers
- ID/OD/centerless grinding
- milling
- drilling/boring machines
- screw & bar machining
- Hydromat machining
- EDM machines.
The Solution
The Absolent solution addresses these problems with engineered coalescing fiber bed filtration for mist and oil applications. Mist applications are defined as process emissions 10 mg/m3< and smoke emissions are defined as process emissions 10 mg/m3>. The process emissions are verified with a laser photometer such as the TSI DustTrak®. Avani Environmental Intl., Inc. representatives utilize a DustTrak® to measure your process conditions and to select the proper filtration system.Case Study - Sun Hydraulics –Sarasota, FL
Several Absolent mist collectors mounted on hydraulic fluid test chambers, grinders, resistance welders, and process equipment. Absolent units replaced inferior centrifugal units that required constant maintenance and replacement media/motors. Systems have been installed for close to 3-years without filter changes.
