A new series of dust filter units has been added to the range of Absolent high performance atmospheric filtration systems offered in the UK by Kitagawa Europe. Available in six models, with airflow rates from 2,000 to 16,000m3/hr, the new Absolent particle filters achieve 99.95 per cent collection efficiency under standard aerosol test conditions to DIN 24 184. Units use multiple filter cartridges, each with a surface area of 7.8m3, and a downward flow of air to combine high performance with a small workshop footprint.

In operation, air is admitted via the inlet duct at the top of each model.

Large particles drop directly to the dust container at the base of equipment, while smaller contaminants are trapped by the filter cartridges.

These are subsequently released and collected during the automatic filter cleaning sequence, which employs a shock air pulse principle.

Incorporating washable filter cartridges for extended operational life, these low-maintenance, low-noise units are the ideal complement to Absolent' s range of oil mist filtration systems.

Through their advanced design - which provides a far greater filter area than competitive products - the Absolent filters achieves at least 99.97 per cent oil separation - to consistently outperform industry-standard centrifugal and ionised element units.

Systems are offered in both oil mist and oil smoke filtration variants and will remove sub-viral sized particles, as well as eliminate carcinogenic contaminants in the range 0.1-0.5 microns diameter.

They also incorporate easy-to-clean washable pre-filters and can be operated continuously over long periods without servicing.

With their minimal floorspace area, Absolent high performance filters provide a particularly cost-effective method of achieving clean, healthy and productive working environments meeting the requirements of ISO 14001 Health and Safety Standards.
