While many companies are aware of the traditional problems associated with oil mist, few are aware that failure to adequately address mist and smoke issues often results in reduced productivity and increased machine downtime. In addition to the obvious effects of oil mist, production is often reduced as a result of employees dialing back on feeds and speeds in order to minimize mist production. An often-overlooked maintenance problem is the effect of oil mist on electrical contacts and electronic circuits. Throughout its history the Royal Filtermist has undergone continuous design improvements. The latest version, the Filtermist FX-Series, is the product of extensive computer-aided modeling and laboratory testing. The Royal Filtermist is available in four sizes ranging from 275-1200 cfm, and its flexible design enables it to be mounted in a variety of ways including directly to the top of a machine tool, on a stand, or suspended from a factory ceiling.
