Using metalworking fluids to lubricate the tools and keep components cool during typical aerospace and defence manufacturing applications can produce a range of airborne pollutants including oil and coolant mist, dust, fume, steam and smoke.

If these contaminants are not controlled effectively, they can cause significant problems across many areas of a business. It has been well-documented that exposure to these fluids can cause a wide range of health issues including occupational asthma, dermatitis, liver damage, and even cancers. In addition, poor air quality can result in inferior product quality, equipment breakdowns, lower levels of worker productivity, as well as the costly repercussions of failing to comply with industry regulations.

Our products and services help customers to remain compliant with Health, Safety and Environmental legislation, protect their employees from exposure to harmful contaminants, and support mission critical productivity levels.

Using Filtermist oil mist collectors can:

  • Support adherence to AS9100 requirements
  • Reduce the cost of worker sick leave and absence cover
  • Help to prevent damage to sensitive electronic equipment including machine control panels
  • Maintain component quality and lower costs by ensuring an ambient temperature in the enclosure
  • Lower cleaning bills by reducing oily deposits on walls and floors
  • Help to win new business through high standards of cleanliness
  • Reduce coolant costs by recycling where possible
Filtermist helps aerospace manufacturers to ensure components meet the highest industry standards
