In the industrial sector, especially in metalworking, oil mist management is one of the most common and often underestimated challenges.
Microdroplets generated during processes such as turning, milling or grinding can accumulate in the air, compromising not only workers’ health but also machine performance and overall workplace safety.
That’s why choosing the right oil mist extraction system is essential.
Comparing the main oil mist extraction technologies.
Each production reality has different needs and requires specific industrial air extraction and filtration solutions. HF Group offers several technologies designed to ensure effective removal of oil mists, even under the most critical conditions.
1.Coalescence filters
Ideal for emulsions and whole oils, they work by aggregating microdroplets into larger droplets, which are then collected by gravity. They ensure:
- High separation efficiency, even for submicron particles
- Excellent performance with mist from emulsions
- Low energy consumption
2.Centrifugal filters
These use centrifugal force to separate oil particles from the air:
- Resistant to high contaminant loads
- Low maintenance
- Ideal for processes with high oil mist concentrations
Simple and versatile, they mechanically trap oil particles:
- Good pre-filtration solution
- Modular and customizable
- Excellent complement to other technologies
These solutions can be integrated into modular systems, designed to adapt to plant layout, airflow volume, and specific production needs.
How to choose the most suitable system?
To identify the best industrial oil mist extraction system, consider:
- Type of processing: for example, turning with whole oil generates a different mist than emulsions.
- Amount of mist generated: high volumes require centralized systems or multi-stage filtration.
- Plant layout: available space and machine layout influence the choice between centralized systems or individual filter units.
- Regulatory compliance: systems must meet European safety and air quality standards in the workplace.
HF Group's proposal.
HF Group designs and manufactures oil mist extraction systems tailored to each industrial reality. Each system is designed to offer:
- High abatement efficiency
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Improved indoor air quality
- Compliance with health and safety regulations
Choosing the right oil mist extraction system is not just a technical choice, but a strategic investment: to protect workers, improve productivity, and make the company more sustainable.
HF Group is by your side to help you find the solution that best fits your needs.
