Safe and Reliable Extraction of Metallic Dusts, Coolants and Aerosols from the Machining Area

When designing effective filtration technology for machining metal workpieces, three primary factors must be considered:

  • Type of machining: turning, milling, sawing, drilling, and similar processes

  • Use of coolants: oil, emulsions, or minimum quantity lubrication (MQL)

  • Material types: gray cast iron, high-carbon steel, light metals, non-ferrous metals, and various alloys

It is essential to maintain a clean machine environment and prevent the escape of contaminated air.

Additional design considerations include:

  • Coolant pressure

  • Internal machine dimensions

  • Size and configuration of machine openings for part loading and tool changes

  • Hazardous properties of the materials being processed

The Suitable Extraction System for Any Application.

The appropriate extraction solution depends on the machining process and the type of coolant used:

  • Oil-based cooling: AERO oil mist separator

  • Water-based coolant: ENA coolant mist separator

  • Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL): TR-1 dust collector or VARIO with FLEXI-P

  • Dry dust collection: VARIO dust collector or UNI-STAR

An important factor in system design is whether the extracted air can be safely recirculated into the production area.

Capture elements can also be individually designed and optimized using flow simulations. This significantly enhances the efficiency and reliability of the overall system.
