Vacuum Pump Oil Mist Eliminators Prevent Contamination from Airborne Oil Droplets
Mass-Vac Inc. has introduced a line of oil mist eliminators that prevent microscopic droplets of lubricating oil in the exhaust stream from escaping into the surrounding environment.
Mass-Vac oil mist eliminators remove 99+ percent of harmful oil vapors from a vacuum pump’s exhaust stream to prevent oil droplets from creating slippery conditions, maintenance problems, product contamination and air quality concerns.
Easily installed on a vacuum pump’s exhaust port, they feature microfiberglass coalescing filter elements with a 0.1-micron pore size.
Available in several sizes for pumps from 5 to 300 CFM, models include the Visi-Mist (clear housing) and Midi-Mist 4-inch diameter that use one filter element and the Midi-Mist 8-inch, which has three filter elements. They can be configured to recirculate costly pump fluids and larger sizes are also available for externally vented pumps.
They are priced from $415 to $2,180 (list) and are fully RoHS compliant.
