Oil Mist Units

Mist generated by machining, forming and other manufacturing operations, in automotive, aerospace, can making and other metalworking industries, can affect OSHA and EPA compliance. Kirk & Blum's 3- and 4-stage Mist Collectors eliminate these problems efficiently and economically at volumes from 2,000 CFM to 24,000 CFM. The collector employs primary and secondary separation before mist enters the media, contributing to longer filter media life.

Standard Features

  • Heavy-gauge steel construction throughout
  • Perimeter frame for versatility in installation
  • Air- and oil-tight doors for easy access to filter replacement
  • Cleanout door at Drain Area
  • AMCA Class 11 centrifugal fan with flexible vibration isolation
  • TEFC Motor and V-Belt drive
  • External static pressure 3-1/2" w.g.

Options

  • Support legs
  • Drop-down filter racks for slide-in media replacement
  • Fan rotations and discharges
  • Remote fan or fan delete
  • Motors, Variable Speed and HTD drives
  • External static pressure 5-1/2" w.g. (higher available)
  • Prewired Starter and Disconnect

Filter Stage Description

1. INERTIAL SEPARATION STAGE

This section centrifuges the incoming air stream, significantly reducing the loading to the coalescing filter stage of the collector. The physical configuration of the unit wrings out the heaviest droplets and delivers them to the drain of the unit. It also allows the unit to be chip-tolerant, delivering errant metal particles to the clean-out area of the housing.

2. COALESCING PREFILTRATION STAGE

This reusable, high-capacity, high-performance prefilter stage coalesces the mist in the air stream and delivers it to the drain. The high relationship of metal mesh filter media to face area traps and holds chips and dust, contributing to longer intermediate and final filter life. It is removable and designed to be steam cleaned.

3. A) "POCKET" FINAL FILTER STAGE

This replaceable final filter stage consists of pleated pockets of spun-bound, ultra-fine glass fiber. It is laminated inside and out to a NY-Gard scrim. The media is factory attached to a rigid frame which is clamped into the unit. Each pocket is attached to support rods in the unit.

3B & 3C) "CARTRIDGE" INTERMEDIATE AND FINAL FILTER STAGE

This replaceable filter stage consists of pleated high-density microfine glass fiber. It is laminated to a Cerex scrim. The media is bonded to a welded wire support grid to provide consistent integrity and performance reliability throughout the filter's life. The media is then factory assembled within a rigid housing which is clamped into the unit.

4. "CARTRIDGE" HEPA-STYLE FINAL FILTER STAGE

This replaceable filter stage consists of pleated high-strength, micro fiber glass paper. It provides 95% efficiency on 0.3 micron particles. The standard cartridge employs aluminum pleat separators. Separatorless construction is available as an option. The media is completely chemically encapsulated to a rigid housing which is clamped into the unit.

Dimensions shown may vary and must not be used for construction purposes. Verification of dimensions and applications must be made through K&B Engineering Department.

Note: For flexibility, the unit may be furnished with fan mounted on the right or left side. Inlet is always on the opposite end. All collectors are available with end, top, front or rear inlets.
