Which Industries Benefit from Filtermist Oil Mist Filtration Solutions?
Filtermist oil mist collectors offer effective and reliable solutions for a wide range of industries, ensuring cleaner, safer, and more productive working environments:
In the aerospace industry, precision and safety are non-negotiable. Filtermist is trusted by leading aerospace manufacturers to remove a wide range of airborne contaminants, including oil mist, coolant mist, fumes, steam, and smoke. These pollutants are common in aerospace manufacturing processes, where metalworking fluids are used to cool and lubricate tools. Exposure to these substances can lead to serious health issues like occupational asthma, dermatitis, and even cancer, while also affecting product quality and equipment reliability. Filtermist helps aerospace companies stay compliant with stringent ISO/TC 20 standards, ensuring that every component meets the highest quality requirements while protecting workers and maintaining a clean, efficient workspace.
The automotive industry demands high standards of quality and consistency, especially in component manufacturing. Filtermist plays a crucial role in removing oil mist, steam, and fumes generated during production processes, which helps maintain a stable temperature within machine enclosures and reduces thermal growth that could otherwise lead to component inaccuracies. By ensuring effective mist extraction, Filtermist supports automotive manufacturers in complying with IATF 16949:2016 standards, which are vital for quality management. The result is improved product reliability, enhanced worker safety, and a cleaner production environment that boosts overall productivity.
In food processing, maintaining air purity is critical to both product quality and worker safety. Filtermist oil mist collectors are used by food producers to effectively remove vegetable oil mist and other airborne contaminants that can compromise the cleanliness of the production environment. Stainless steel versions of the Filtermist units are particularly well-suited for corrosive environments, ensuring durability and compliance with stringent food safety regulations. By incorporating Filtermist into their facilities, food manufacturers can safeguard against contamination, protect their workers, and ensure that their products meet the highest standards of quality and safety.
The general engineering and manufacturing industries often deal with processes that generate significant amounts of oil mist, fumes, and steam, particularly during operations like grinding, cutting, milling, and parts washing. These pollutants pose serious health risks, including chronic respiratory conditions and other long-term health problems. Filtermist oil mist collectors are designed to efficiently remove these airborne hazards, helping companies comply with BS 8887-1:2006 regulations and maintain high indoor air quality. By doing so, Filtermist not only protects workers but also enhances productivity by reducing equipment breakdowns and ensuring a cleaner, safer working environment.
Machine tool manufacturers face the challenge of managing the oil mist generated during metalworking processes such as cutting, grinding, sawing, and milling. These operations often involve high-pressure coolants and lubricants, which can atomize into fine particles that are harmful if inhaled. Filtermist’s oil mist collectors are essential for removing these particles from the air, protecting workers from respiratory issues and ensuring compliance with global occupational health standards. With the global machine tool market valued at approximately $84 billion, Filtermist’s reliable filtration systems are crucial for maintaining safe, compliant, and productive manufacturing environments across various industries, including automotive, electronics, and medical devices.
The medical device manufacturing industry requires the highest levels of cleanliness and precision due to the critical nature of its products. Filtermist oil mist collectors play a vital role in maintaining sterile production environments by removing airborne oil mist, fumes, and other contaminants. This is especially important for compliance with ISO 13485:2016, a key quality management standard for medical device manufacturers. By ensuring a clean workspace, Filtermist helps protect the health of workers and the integrity of medical devices, from orthopaedic implants to diagnostic equipment. This support enables manufacturers to maintain high productivity and quality while meeting the rigorous standards of the medical industry.

How Oil Mist Removal Works?
Filtermist systems capture oil mist directly from the source using centrifugal impaction, separating oil from the air. The clean oil is recycled back to the machine, and purified air is returned to the environment. For added protection, an optional afterfilter can further remove smoke and fumes, enhancing overall air quality.- Oil Mist is Removed at Source: The system captures oil mist directly from the machine, preventing it from dispersing into the air.
- Centrifugal Impaction: Inside the unit, a high-speed perforated drum with specially designed vanes spins, causing the oil mist to collide with the vanes at high velocity. This process efficiently separates oil particles from the air.
- Clean Oil is Recycled: The separated oil is pushed to the outer case by centrifugal force, where it drains back into the machine for reuse or collection.
- Clean Air is Released: The purified air is then expelled back into the workplace, ensuring a safer environment.
- Enhanced Efficiency with Afterfilter: For added protection, smoke and fumes can be further removed, and the unit’s efficiency can be increased by attaching a clip-on afterfilter.
Oil mist extraction and filtration technologies available from Filtermist Systems Limited
Craig Woodward, Divisional Sales Director at Filtermist, hosted MTD CNC to discuss oil mist removal technologies at Filtermist’s Telford headquarters. He outlined three solutions:
- Centrifugal Oil Mist Filters: Filtermist’s UK-manufactured filters.
- Electrostatic Filters: Produced by Bristol T&G International GmbH.
- Static Filter Media Units: Featuring HEPA filters with 99.95% filtration efficiency at 0.3 microns.
The main takeaway was that Filtermist offers tailored “Clean Air” solutions based on customer needs, including preferences for stand-alone or central systems. Craig emphasized the importance of regular LEV testing as part of compliance with COSHH regulations, highlighting Filtermist’s role as a comprehensive “Clean Air Partner” for customers.
