Smoke and fumes are sub-micron particulate by-products created by manufacturing processes such as welding, rubber and plastic processing, high speed machining with coolants, tempering and quenching. Assembly lines are often equipped with source-capture industrial air filter systems to remove water and reduce the amount of mist, aerosols and fumes in the atmosphere. Often times, the mist pulled from the source will coalesce or unite into a hardened substance in the duct work and post a fire hazard, unless properly filtered or the liquid is diverted to an appropriate drain.
Coalescing filter elements, commonly called mist eliminators, are also needed to capture oil mist found in return air of industrial machine shops and remove water and oil droplets from cooling coils and evaporative media or unevaporated moisture downstream from humidifiers.
Permatron’s mist eliminator filtering media consists of layers of aluminum slit and expanded into mesh of differing densities with hundreds or baffle-like surfaces to assure maximum filtration and internal loading capabilities. Aluminum mesh decreases in density from air intake side and contained within a .017-.019 one piece constructed roll formed frame. Frame contains drain holes on all sides.
