Filtermist International product story

The FiltermistXcel2 range of air filtration units can be fitted at source or retrofitted to virtually any machine.
FR-Hitemp specialises in the design and production of high quality systems and components for applications primarily in the civil and military aircraft markets.
The company employs between 400 and 500 people across three UK manufacturing sites (Titchfield, Wimborne and South Molton), and has a support centre in Denver, USA.
Reputedly the world leader in aircraft fuel systems, FR-Hitemp supplies a wide range of fuel pumps for many of the world's civil and military aircraft, helicopters and fighting vehicles.
Recent contracts to supply fuel systems for the colossal new A380 Airbus have led to significant investment in new machinery, resulting in the installation of nine new Mori Seiki machining centres at the Titchfield site.
Each of the machines, which are supplied by Fredrick Pollards, incorporates the latest oil mist removal unit from Filtermist.
The FiltermistXcel2 range of air filtration units can be fitted at source or retrofitted to virtually any machine.
The system uses advanced "centrifugal impaction" techniques to remove the oil mist and smoke that is created when coolant meets hot metal during the machining process.
Cleverly designed vanes rotate within the unit and impact at high speed with the contaminated air, as it is drawn through the system.
The oil is collected and returned to the machine for reuse, while clean air is emitted to the atmosphere.
The relationship between FR-Hitemp and Filtermist spans more than 20 years and covers in excess of 40 installations.
In addition to machinery purchased with pre-installed oil filtration units, the company has retrofitted Filtermist units to many of its own machines as well.
"We have covered a lot of ground with Filtermist and are pleased to continue using them and receiving first-class service".
"The Filtermist products 'do the job' and help us meet health and safety standards by removing oil mist from the air".
"When you have been trading together as long as we have, and you don't have any negative comments about them - they must be doing something right", comments Steven Harnett, Plant Engineering Manager.
Filtermist offers the widest range of oil mist collectors of any manufacturer in the world.
The FiltermistXcel range provides extraction airflows ranging from 180 to 2750m3/h.
