METAL HEAT TREATING & OIL SMOKE/MIST COLLECTION
Heat treating is a method that utilizes a group of metalworking processes to alter the physical, electrical, or magnetic properties of a material. Metal heat treatment implements extreme temperatures to achieve the hardening or softening of a material.
Heat treating processes differ in the temperatures of heat and velocity of cooling used to develop final products or parts. However, all heat treatment processes are similar in the fact that they implement the heating and cooling of metals.
During the heat treating process, metal material is heated, soaked, and then promptly chilled, producing and transmitting oil mist and smoke. Metal heat treating may consist of both oil mist and smoke, with oil smoke causing a larger concern due to the size and volume of particles.
Oil mist consists of droplets that are up to 20 microns while oil smoke is made of drops smaller than 1 micron (submicron) and are emitted in larger concentrations.
If a metalworking environment doesn't have a proper filtration system in place, the air stream will become contaminated quickly, resulting in serious health hazards, damage to equipment, and a decline in productivity.
ScandMist oil smoke collectors are designed to capture 99.95% @ 0,3 submicron making them the most effective systems for oil smoke and mist filtration.
