SmogHog and Mena Separation of industrial aerosols (2,2 MB)

Clean Air. It‘s what we do.
Separation of industrial aerosols
Smog-Hog ® and Mena –
a new dimension in filter technology

Clean air is important for your health
Many industrial manufacturing processes emit pollutants that are released into
the surrounding air. As aerosols, these pollutants in the form of mist, smoke
and dust affect the health of your employees, the machines and production
facilities you use as well as the quality of your products. Below a diameter of 2.5
µm, in particular, the protective mechanisms of the human respiratory tract are
incapable to secrete these particles. In the case of hazardous substances, they
can quickly lead to chronic respiratory tract or cardiovascular diseases.
Based on our core technologies
• Smog-Hog – electrostatic filter dedicated for oil mist,
emulsions and plasticizers
• MENA – mechanical filter dedicated for emulsions
and polluting aerosols with low flash points
a customized installation is created with low follow-up costs that reliably separates
pollutants from the air.
If requested, we will gladly take over the planning, from the basic product to
the turn-key suction system. Your advantage: single-source engineering, equipment
and piping planning, manufacturing, assembly and commissioning.
We offer you a 2-year warranty on our equipment, regardless whether it is an
individual workstation solution or central suction.
More than 30 years of continuous development in cooperation with important
committees such as the Association of German Engineers (VDI) and the Association
of German Machine and Plant Construction (VDMA), plus our own
research laboratories, lay the foundation for system solutions that guarantee
you clean air as an essential production factor.

SMOG-HOG ® - electrostatic air filters
Separation of oil mist, oil smoke, Plasticizer vapors and emulsion
mist – the comprehensive solution
The Smog-Hog SHN/SG Series is our solution to oil smoke and coolant mist
problems in the industrial work area. With an established name in the
industry, our Smog-Hog brand electrostatic precipitators (ESP) are engineered
to perform long-term, heavy-duty industrial air cleaning and are one of the
most effective ways to collect oily, wet contaminants that are a result of many
metalworking processes. Smog-Hog mist collectors require no disposable
filters, but instead use an ionizer to charge contaminants and a collection cell
to remove them from the air stream. By electronically charging both large and
microscopic contaminants, these systems capture impurities like a magnet in
the collection cells. At the same time, recyclable coolants and oil are collected
for reuse, and safe, breathable air is discharged back into the workplace.
Investing in a Smog-Hog Filter can improve your company’s profitability by
reducing both your energy and housekeeping costs. These systems recirculate
air into your plant and reduce exhaust air make-up requirements up to 80%.
And thousands of litres of valuable resources such as cutting oils, lubricants,
coolants and plasticizers are recycled each year by customers who have installed
Smog-Hog Filter units.
Airflow capacities range up to 56.000m 3 /h, depending on system size and
configuration.

MENA – mechanical coalescence filters
Separation of emulsion mist and aerosols with low flash
points – the compact solution
Aerosol-loaded air (mist) is guided through a porous fiber package, where oil
and dirt particles 'statistically' strike filter fibers and remain trapped there due
to an adhesive force in a first step, forming droplets. The droplets form larger
drops with existing ones thereby reducing the surface (i.e. they coalesce) and
drain.
The MENA filters are made from a special synthetic fiber with hydrophobic
properties, a self-cleaning capability owing to its coalescence properties and its
resilience with high pollutant concentrations make it the ideal filter media for
this application.
Thanks to the compact, modular construction the system has a
4-stage design and can be mounted on a machine or console:
• A pre-filter removes aerosol particles > 2 µm as well as dust and chips (metal
mesh wire)
• The first coalescence filter of efficiency class F5 according to EN 779 removes
aerosol particles from 0.6 µm to 3 µm
• The second coalescence filter of efficiency class F9 according to EN 779
removes aerosol particles < 0.8 µm
• Finally, the HEPA H13 filter – acting merely as 'police filter' - separates the
very small amounts of remaining particles.

The filter design has a good serviceable life and long maintenance intervals
because every filter stage takes over a specific particle spectrum section.
Likewise, the clean gas-side concentration of pollutants remaining as aerosols
is therefore below 1 mg/m 3 – even under high pollutant concentrations.
The light construction design of the filter elements makes them easy to
maintain. In addition, a galvanized metal frame provides hygienic advantages
compared to the otherwise conventional wood, MDF or carton frames.
Besides separation of emulsions, MENA systems are especially suitable for
separating low flame point pollutants such as petroleum, non-conductors,
paraffins, cleaners in industrial washing machines or solvents.
