General description
The MistEliminator is a stationary filter for mainly oil mist
applications, to be used in machine tool processes. Depending
on the specific application, it is available with four different
filter packages
1
, with or without integrated fan module. In case
of recirculation it is recommended to use a MistEliminator with
additional HEPA filter (ME-32 and ME-42 series).
Except for the ME-42/F1 and ME-42/F2 with integrated fan,
the MistEliminator requires no power.

Max. airflow is a ceiling value and generally not recommended as a
design value for operating the ME unit, as it might lead to short
lifespan of filters. The performance of the ME unit is next to airflow
influenced by other variables like amount and composition of metal
working fluid, process, temperature and pre-treatment. Ask your local
expert on the recommended airflow for your system design.
