How Filtermist Units Work:
A perforated drum with specially designed vanes rotates at high speed. Oil mist is drawn into the unit and impacts on its vanes at high velocity. Special drum pads assist the coalescing process and filter out stray solid particles. Centrifugal force pushes oil to the unit’s outer case where it drains back to the machine for re-use or collection and clean air is returned to the workshop through the top of the unit.
Since 1969, Filtermist Oil Mist Collectors have been designed to satisfy the demands of the manufacturing industry. Years of experience together with feedback from independent industry experts, have resulted in a number of advances that have improved efficiencies and performance.
The latest Filtermist Oil Mist Collectors offers many design improvements over previous models.
- The units have a reduced size and weight.
- They feature curved vanes, which improve air flow and collection efficiency.
- They have a new entry cone, which optimizes air distribution.
- The drum/case gap has been reduced to minimize droplet fragmentation and improve filtration efficiency.
- The units feature split casing to allow for easy access to maintenance.
Filtermist Oil Mist Collectors are also versatile. They can be used on lathes and machining centers, as well as grinding machines, industrial saws, parts washers and even in food processing applications. They are often small enough to be mounted directly onto machine tools, but can also be installed on floor stands, machine mounting brackets and wall brackets, or suspended from a factory ceiling.

Filtermist Common Questions
How do I select the correct Filtermist Model for my application?
We have a database of previous installs on many different models of machine tools.
Also, if you can provide us with the interior volume of your machine in cubic feet and some details about your application we can make a recommendation.
How do I install the Filtermist unit on my machine?
The Filtermist Units are a relatively easy piece of equipment to install, and
most shops handle their own installations. A detailed instruction manual is included
with each unit.
Units can be direct mounted on top of the machine, side mounted with a mounting bracket, floor mounted on a stand next to the machine etc.
How often do the drum pads need to be changed?
The instruction manual that is included with each unit details the maintenance requirements.
It is recommended to change the pads every 1000 running hours.
An important aspect to understand about the Filtermist Unit is that the
drum pads are not filters. These porous pads are present to slow airflow
through the unit, thereby maximizing contact with the drum vanes for
greatest overall impaction efficiency.
Because the Filtermist Unit utilizes the mechanical process of centrifugal
impaction to eliminate mist, maintenance requirements are minimal. As a
result, some customers have reported that they have had units operating
for many years without ever needing to change the drum pads.
Can I use one Filtermist Unit to service more than one machine?
Yes it is possible to collect the mist from more than one machine with a single Filtermist Unit but this will depend on the interior volumes of the machines and how close together the machines are to each other
How will my Filtermist Unit ship?
Most Filtermist Units can ship via courier, however, when ordering multiple units and accessories it is often more cost effective to ship by truck.
