The byproduct of CNC Machining can create emissions of oil or coolant mist and smoke. The build-up inside the cavities of these machines can prove troublesome to your employee's health and the overall condition of your facility. Mist and smoke are generated from the friction and the coolant agent used to protect the tool.
Typical coolant or lubrication sources include:
Machining processes may include:
Several Absolent mist collectors mounted on hydraulic fluid test chambers, grinders, resistance welders, and process equipment. Absolent units replaced inferior centrifugal units that required constant maintenance and replacement media/motors. Systems have been installed for close to 3-years without filter changes.
Cold heading and bolt making processes require oil based lubricants and friction to form fasteners and specialized fittings. The process creates heavy oil smoke and mist emissions approaching and often exceeding 80 mg/m3 of sub-micron emissions.
The Absolent A-Smoke is ideal for handling these emissions with large coalescing fiber bed filters designed for heavy emissions; These collectors operate for a minimum of two-years without filter changes or maintenance. Oil reclaim is typically accomplished with an automatic pump-back system with float/level controls and a head-pressure of 27’ which allows the oil to be re-used directly in the process machine.

Heat treating processes often involve high furnace temperatures and burn-off of oily residue for material strengthening and hardening. In addition, quenching processes are often part of this process. The processes creates heavy oil smoke and mist emissions approaching and often exceeding 80 mg/m3 of sub-micron emissions.
The Absolent A-Smoke (ODR Series) is ideal for handling these emissions with large coalescing fiber bed filters designed for heavy emissions; These collectors operate for a minimum of two-years without filter changes or maintenance. Oil reclaim is typically accomplished with an automatic pump-back system with float/level controls and a head-pressure of 27’ which allows the oil to be re-used directly in the process machine
Modern CNC equipment and closer machining tolerances often require the implementation of high-pressure coolant delivery pumps. These pumps deliver flow rates with a higher PSI and mbar ratings than standard coolant delivery. They protect the machine tool and create higher emission levels (i.e., more mist & smoke).
The Absolent solution offers unique filter selection media for high-density concentrations of sub-micronic particulate for a flexible solution with multiple cassette options for the A·Mist and A·Smoke series. This allows a customer to modify standard units in the event they change a process from standard coolant delivery to high-pressure coolant delivery.
Die casting and forging presses processes often involve high-temperatures, severe frictional forces, and lubricant that can consists of oily-graphite compounds. This lubricant and coolant combination creates heavy oil smoke and mist emissions approaching and often exceeding 80 mg/m3 of sub-micron emissions. In addition, this emission source can include a “clumpy and sticky residue”. This residue can blind the face of a conventional filter and create pre-mature filter life and excessive maintenance.
The Absolent A-Smoke is ideal for handling these emissions with large coalescing fiber bed filters designed for heavy emissions; These collectors operate for a minimum of one to two years without filter changes or maintenance. Special provisions for preventing the “sticky residue” from blinding the Absolent filters include:
Oil reclaim is typically accomplished with an automatic pump-back system with float/level controls and a head-pressure of 27’ which allows the oil to be re-used directly in the process machine.
