Oil mist extraction project

Layout diagram

Task:

Design and installation of oil mist extraction system on machine tools with the following specifications:

  • Machining (grinding) at three machine tools
  • Coolant: oil
  • Interconnection of the machine tools by means of permanent piping and control of machines using pneumatic shut-off valves
  • Provisions for linking and evaluating the PLC signals from the individual machine tools
  • Observance of pertinent clean-air (anti-pollution) regulations

Design:

  • Extraction capacity 40 m³/min
  • Three-stage separation using mechanical filter elements
  • Observance of clean-air (anti-pollution) regulations and return of separated fluids to the machine circuit
  • Piping for the machine tools in accordance with the layout plans from the customer
  • Implementation of pertinent directives relating to machinery and operating media regulations
  • Installation and commissioning by service technicians on site

Results:

  • Return of cleansed air to the facility buildings (air recirculation operation)
    • Conservation of thermal energy
  • Integration of system into the customer's building layout
    • Low space requirements
  • Long filter service life, with some filter elements able to be cleaned when maintenance intervals are observed.
