Oil Mist Extraction

Customisable Solutions

For many workplaces, machine oil is used as the lubricant or coolant that keeps parts from wearing, saving time and money by helping to minimise maintenance requirements. However, an inevitable by-product of pumps, compressors, turbines and other machines that use oil is the emission of oil mist.

integratedAIR Systems provide modern oil mist extraction units, designing, supplying, and installing systems across the UK and worldwide. Whilst many of our customers operate in the canning industry, our oil mist elimination systems can be adapted for any sector, giving you a sustainable solution for your business.

What Are the Applications?

Oil mist units are vital for any business where processes generate oil fumes. They are applicable to a variety of industrial procedures such as:

  • Beverage can manufacture industry
  • Semiconductor and electronics sector
  • Petrochemical and machine tooling
  • Automotive, aerospace, and aviation industries

How Do Oil Mist Extraction Systems Work?

Oil mist extraction systems eliminate up to 99.5% of oil particulates from equipment discharge – this is operated by a 3 or 4 stage filtration system. Oil collected by these filters can then be returned to the system for their original use. This method greatly reduces oil waste and cuts operation costs.

Variations in industrial processes mean that residual oil droplets may be produced alongside oil mists. To combat this, liquid and droplet separation techniques can be implemented before the final stage of the filtration system.

Our systems are designed with maintenance in mind, which means that replaceable elements are used throughout. In addition to the particulate filtration, activated carbon filters can also be added to the process which helps to negate any odour in the air stream. This is particularly useful for food production environments where frying takes place.

Common Oil Mist Hazards and Risks

  • Reducing the air quality in the workplace and endangering employee health.
  • Damaging the environment when released into the atmosphere.
  • Coating machinery, increasing the potential for breakdowns and repair costs.
  • Coating products, causing staining and at worst contaminating the product and rendering it unusable.
