While many companies are aware of traditional problems associated with oil mist (health and accident risks, cleaning and maintenance costs, etc.), few are aware that failure to adequately address mist and smoke issues often result in reduced productivity and increased machine downtime. In addition, production is often reduced as a result of employees dialing back on feeds and speeds in order to minimize production. An often overlooked maintenance problem is the effect of oil mist on electrical contacts and electronic circuits. For the past 30 years, the Royal Filtermist has been collecting oil mist and smoke generated by all types of metalworking machinery. There are currently more than 125,000 Filtermist units operating in more than 40 countries worldwide. It has undergone continuous design improvements through the years-the latest version, the Filtermist FX Series, is the product of extensive computer-aided modeling and laboratory testing. The Royal Filtermist is avialble in four sizes ranging from 275-1200 cfm and its flexible design enables it to be mounted in a variety of ways. Maintenance and operating costs are minimal. All Royal Filtermist units are sold with a 45-day risk free performance guarantee.
