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

SMOG-HOG ® - electrostatic air filters<br />
Separation of oil mist, oil smoke, Plasticizer vapors and emulsion<br />
mist – the comprehensive solution<br />
The Smog-Hog SHN/SG Series is our solution to oil smoke and coolant mist<br />
problems in the industrial work area. With an established name in the<br />
industry, our Smog-Hog brand electrostatic precipitators (ESP) are engineered<br />
to perform long-term, heavy-duty industrial air cleaning and are one of the<br />
most effective ways to collect oily, <strong>we</strong>t contaminants that are a result of many<br />
metalworking processes. Smog-Hog mist collectors require no disposable<br />
filters, but instead use an ionizer to charge contaminants and a collection cell<br />
to remove them from the air stream. By electronically charging both large and<br />
microscopic contaminants, these systems capture impurities like a magnet in<br />
the collection cells. At the same time, recyclable coolants and oil are collected<br />
for reuse, and safe, breathable air is discharged back into the workplace.<br />
Investing in a Smog-Hog Filter can improve your company’s profitability by<br />
reducing both your energy and housekeeping costs. These systems recirculate<br />
air into your plant and reduce exhaust air make-up requirements up to 80%.<br />
And thousands of litres of valuable resources such as cutting oils, lubricants,<br />
coolants and plasticizers are recycled each year by customers who have installed<br />
Smog-Hog Filter units.<br />
<strong>Air</strong>flow capacities range up to 56.000m 3 /h, depending on system size and<br />
configuration.<br />

MENA – mechanical coalescence filters<br />
Separation of emulsion mist and aerosols with low flash<br />
points – the compact solution<br />
Aerosol-loaded air (mist) is guided through a porous fiber package, where oil<br />
and dirt particles 'statistically' strike filter fibers and remain trapped there due<br />
to an adhesive force in a first step, forming droplets. The droplets form larger<br />
drops with existing ones thereby reducing the surface (i.e. they coalesce) and<br />
drain.<br />
The MENA filters are made from a special synthetic fiber with hydrophobic<br />
properties, a self-cleaning capability owing to its coalescence properties and its<br />
resilience with high pollutant concentrations make it the ideal filter media for<br />
this application.<br />
Thanks to the compact, modular construction the system has a<br />
4-stage design and can be mounted on a machine or console:<br />
• A pre-filter removes aerosol particles > 2 µm as <strong>we</strong>ll as dust and chips (metal<br />
mesh wire)<br />
• The first coalescence filter of efficiency class F5 according to EN 779 removes<br />
aerosol particles from 0.6 µm to 3 µm<br />
• The second coalescence filter of efficiency class F9 according to EN 779<br />
removes aerosol particles < 0.8 µm<br />
• Finally, the HEPA H13 filter – acting merely as 'police filter' - separates the<br />
very small amounts of remaining particles.<br />
The illustration shows a mechanical coalescence filter (Mena)<br />
The filter design has a good serviceable life and long maintenance intervals<br />
because every filter stage takes over a specific particle spectrum section.<br />
Likewise, the clean gas-side concentration of pollutants remaining as aerosols<br />
is therefore below 1 mg/m 3 – even under high pollutant concentrations.<br />
The light construction design of the filter elements makes them easy to<br />
maintain. In addition, a galvanized metal frame provides hygienic advantages<br />
compared to the otherwise conventional wood, MDF or carton frames.<br />
Besides separation of emulsions, MENA systems are especially suitable for<br />
separating low flame point pollutants such as petroleum, non-conductors,<br />
paraffins, cleaners in industrial washing machines or solvents.<br />
